Having made its debut at this year’s Beijing Motor Show, the VW T-Prime looks as though you could walk into a showroom and see it there right now. The styling is entirely production-ready.

There’s no doubt that we can expect something like this soon enough. But the straight-laced exterior hides innovative technologies inside, including a gearbox controlled by a glass scroll wheel. There’s a plug-in hybrid drivetrain, in line with VW’s urge to get away from diesels as soon as possible.

Will it happen? Most likely it will, especially because VW is planning an SUV offensive to meet current trends.
