New Volkswagen Phideon PHEV
SAIC Volkswagen has used the Shanghai Auto Show to introduce the new Phideon plug-in hybrid. The Phideon PHEV is an eco-friendly flagship sedan which boasts the "latest achievements" in new energy vehicles. The model is also notable as it will become Volkswagen's first domestic plug-in hybrid car made in China. Speaking of the powertrain, it consists of a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, an electric motor, and an undisclosed battery. Volkswagen was coy on specifications but confirmed the model will have a fuel consumption rating of 2.3L/100km and an overall range of 850 km. When the battery is depleted, it can be recharged in approximately two hours. Three different driving modes will be offered including a traditional hybrid mode which uses both the engine and the electric motor. Drivers looking to go green, can select an E-Mode which delivers emissions free motoring. Despite looking like the standard model, designers added a handful of styling tweaks to help the Phideon PHEV stand out. Changes include aerodynamic alloy wheels, C-shaped LED daytime running lights, and plenty of GTE badging.
The Nardo has an H&R Springs Street Performance Coil Over system and BFGoodrich G-FORCE COMP-2 A/S tires for a more road hugging appearance. Sam Dobbins, Creative Director at Vossen Wheels, is a great force within the enthusiast scene and a longtime Volkswagen owner. His Golf GTI RS Concept is a fascinating amalgamation of different car cultures with a particularly heavy Japanese influence via the Rocket Bunny widebody kit. To set his car apart from many others with similar body modifications, Dobbins put a lot of effort into making sure that the sheetmetal was honed to eliminate wheel rub, making the car comfortable to drive on a daily basis. The interior is stripped down, but the polished aluminum floorpan, race-inspired seats, and other accents reflect the exterior design. The GTI RS Concept rolls on Vossen wheels and features a Thule carrier box with custom, low-profile roof crossbars. The Golf R Heritage concept features an homage to the car鈥檚 German heritage with a striking stripe package in the colors of the German flag and a white, lower rocker accent stripe pattern. Vossen has provided the wheels, starting with the VWS-1 finished in matte gunmetal and polished anodized silver.
The wheels are shod with G-FORCE COMP-2 A/2 tires from BFGoodrich and the car has been lowered on a sport spring package from H&R Springs. The simple touches highlight the already great platform of the Golf R model, while leaving the car close to factory specification鈥攚hich is what most R owners tend to do. The third-generation Golf Country Special edition inspired this year鈥檚 Golf Alltrack Country concept. The Golf Country, which was sold only in Europe, was designed for medium-duty off-road driving and equipped with more suspension travel than a traditional Golf, Syncro four-wheel drive, higher ground clearance, and brush guards. Additional foglights are integrated into the lower bumper and a hitch-mounted Thule T2 Pro XT bike rack carries two Trek Stache 9.6 mountain bikes. Off-pavement adventure continues with a roof-mounted tent system, topped with flexible solar panel, a curved LED light bar, and a solar-heated shower. In the trunk, an integrated entertainment system complete with media computer is mounted into the spare wheel well, and a custom LED light bar is integrated into the liftgate for additional visibility. Three batteries hidden under the trunk floor are charged via the solar power system to keep the media center and USB power ports at full charge. A custom topography graphic wrap finishes the Golf Alltrack Country Concept. With its well-crafted customizations, this vehicle is ready to keep up with the demands of even the most daring weekend adventurer.
