The new Volkswagen Taigun CUV (crossover utility vehicle) based on the Up! platform is headed for production.
Inside sources claim that it has been given the green light, and will be powered by both a gas and diesel turbocharged three-cylinder engine. It will only come in FWD, and there is a possibility of both hybrid and electric version later on. Slightly longer and tall than the Up!, it will offer seating up to five with four comfortably.
No word on release date, but it's suggested to go on sale in 2016.
VW is not planning on bringing the car to North America because of its size and lack of power, but perhaps that could change a year or so after launch.

There is a new rumor that VW will debut the first ever Golf R Diesel later this year. There have been previous talk about a performance diesel, but that was chalked up to the GTD. However, now chatter has been picking up regarding what is being called the 'Golf RD'.
Using the Mk7 Golf R as a base, the Golf RD would have all-wheel-drive and a peppy TDI up front. While the Golf R is expected to have a turbo 2.0L 4-cylinder producing around 300hp, the Golf RD is thought to have around 220 - 250 hp from either a twin-turbo 2.0L 4-cylinder or Audi's turbo 3.0L V6 diesel. Torque is believed to be anywhere from 370ft/lb - 410ft/lb. It will only come with the DSG transmission keeping fuel efficiency and performance at its maximum.
It's still too early to tell if this model is indeed coming, but VW's R GmbH Executive Director Ulrich Riestenpatt gt. Richter has said "The future is diesel and all-wheel-drive"
It's likely that the Golf RD would be a Europe only model, and doubtful it would make it to North America since diesels are a hard sell to that market. Perhaps the second generation would be optioned like the GTD before it.
