Volkswagen had previously been said to be planning a sub-compact SUV as a joint project with Suzuki, based on the Japanese brand’s SX4 platform.
However the tie-up between Volkswagen and Suzuki has ended, and it seems the German giant could be looking in-house.
That means something like the Buggy Up concept might move from motor show stands to the production line.
Smaller SUVs would slot into below the compact Tiguan in the line-up, and with the growing interest in sub-compact models could make a good business case.
The Up is built in Volkswagen’s Slovakia plant, and VW Slovakia boss Albrecht Reimold told German publication Handelsblatt that the Up line-up would be a strong prospect for future exapnsion.
"It's certainly an area we must look at," he told the publication.
