Don’t be surprised to find a new pickup at the Melbourne Motor Show which sports the logo of Volkswagen. If you do, then perhaps you have stumbled upon the new Volkswagen Pickup Concept which is bound to give other familiar pickups like the Hi-Lux and Navara a run for their money.
The Pickup concept previews the full production model that is currently in development. The 5.18 metre long concept vehicle is not based on any current model VW, but will feature the latest generation of highly advanced, torque strong, fuel saving common-rail turbo-diesels (TDI).
“The Volkswagen Pickup will certainly be a welcome and exciting fourth addition to our expanding range of light commercial vehicles,” commented Phil Clark, Director of Volkswagen Group Australia Commercial Vehicles. “Being the only premium European offering a product in the 1 tonne segment is a great opportunity for Volkswagen. I believe the Pickup will be one of the best selling models in the Volkswagen line-up.”
