Volkswagen showcased its four-door coupe concept at the Beijing Motor Show – the New Midsize Coupe (NMC) concept which hints at a sleeker new Jetta possibly coming from the company soon.
Engine specifications
The New Midsize Coupe Concept is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder TSI engine producing 162 kW of power which is transferred to the wheels through a seven-speed dual clutch gearbox. This enables the coupe to do the 0-100 km/h sprint in 6.5 seconds before reaching a top speed of 244 km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at 6.4 litres / 100 km.
Sporty looks inside and out
The concept benefits from a sleek profile with a drag coefficient of 0.29, as well as 20-inch wheels shod in low profile tyres and a body covered in Dragon Red paint. There is also a new LED headlight design which is integrated as part of the grille. The taillights feature aluminium accents and below these is an integrated rear diffuser that houses square-shaped exhaust tips.
In addition, the New Midsize Coupe offers enough cabin space for five people and a cargo capacity of 500 litres. The inner surfaces of the seats are designed in a bright “Silk” colour, while the outer areas form a contrast in the dark “Ebony Black”. The controls, including the multifunction sports steering wheel and the infotainment system have been adapted from the current Golf .
No details have been provided as yet about a potential production version.
