The side profiles feature the SUV's two-door layout and foldable soft top. Wraparound taillights are likely to get LED treatment, whereas the rear fog lamps embedded in the bumper also gets square housings.
The interior is a combination of design taken from various models. With the fully digital instrument cluster, similar to the B9 Passat. The steering wheel has been shared from the Golf R Touch Concept. If at all this convertible SUV is manufactured, it is likely to be powered by the same engine as the next-gen Polo.
