It will feature Volkswagen's global design, with a taller bumper, connected tail lights, a slim front grille, and a coupe-like roofline, as seen in the teaser.

Volkswagen hasn't shared engine details yet, but the new model is likely to have a 1.0-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine, similar to the Volkswagen Tiguan, Skoda Kushaq, Virtus, and Slavia. It will offer both manual and automatic transmission options.
