T-Sport coming? VW confirms 'New Urban Coupé' will debut in 2020

Volkswagen has confirmed its “New Urban Coupé” will be revealed in 2020 before production starts at the Anchieta plant in Brazil later that year.

Interestingly, the Wolfsburg-based company says the new model will also be built in Europe from 2021 and “sold in other international markets”.

Earlier reports suggested the new model would effectively replace the Cross Polo, slotting in below the T-Cross and eventually wearing the “T-Sport” badge. As you can tell from the accompanying teaser image, it will feature a coupé-like sloping roofline.

The newcomer will based on the MQB platform, with VW claiming it will combine “sportiness with a high driving position”. It will be designed and developed in Brazil.

After Volkswagen announced a massive investment into its Brazil facilities, it also teased what the factory will be producing.

Volkswagen has announced an almost 0 million investment into its operations in and around Sau Paulo. Volkswagen of Brazil then said it would be building a vehicle which was 100% developed in South America and shared the teaser sketch you see here.

At first glance, we're thinking its a sportier coupe version of either the Volkswagen T-Roc or Tiguan, which should look terrific. Expect a name beginning with a "T" naturally.
