Auto Release: Volkswagen reveals the CrossTouran

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

Volkswagen has launched the CrossTour an that will join the CrossGolf and CrossPolo in its range of soft-roaders with raised ride heights.

Like the CrossGolf and CrossPolo, the CrossTouran also features the extra road clearance as well as plastic body cladding to give it a more rugged, off-road look.

The CrossTouran’s front and rear bumpers get extra black protection cladding that go along with the black grained protective strips on the doors, the chunky wheel arch extensions and the new side sills. The 17-inch alloy wheels and matt aluminium roof rails complete the exterior package.

The exterior package is being completed with the 17-inch alloy wheels and matt aluminium roof rails. The CrossTouran is not a proper off-roader despite the raised height and added rugged looks, with the car gaining new suspension springs which raise the car’s ground clearance by 20mm over the standard Touran MPV.

Interior, the CrossTouran has been updated, with new seat cover patterns along with decorative trim in stainless steel look and a leather steering wheel plus leather trim on gearlever knob and handbrake lever among the changes.

Like the standard Touran, the CrossTouran will be available with the same engines.

Auto 2010: 2010 HSV ClubSport 20th Anniversary Edition

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

HSV has revealed a special edition ClubSport sedan in order to celebrate the car’s 20th anniversary. This special edition is somewhat really special to the company as it is the highest selling vehicle in the brand’s line-up.

The 20th Anniversary Edition will be distinguished by HSV’s performance suspension, 20” Pentagon wheels in Millennium silver and leather seats. There will also be a unique decal on the rear window which the HSV enthusiast will recognize as a modern iteration of the original VN “CS ClubSport” badge.

The HSV Clubsport began its run with a 6.0 L Generation 4 Alloy V8 engine. In 2008, the engine was changed to a 6.2 Litre LS3 V8 mated to a 6-Speed Tremec T-56 manual transmission.

This special edition ClubSport sedan will be limited to only 100 units and will go on sale in late June at a price of $66,690 for manual and $68,690 for automatic.
