![]() These proportions were enabled by the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB) by Volkswagen, and this innovative technical base opened up new possibilities for designers. As mentioned, the New Midsize Coupé is distinguished by a very long bonnet and a very short front overhang. The designers shifted the visual centre of gravity downwards by special styling techniques. The design team styled the front end to be very progressive. High-gloss black elements such as the roof surface with its integrated panoramic tilt/slide roof create a colour contrast. The concept car is painted in "Dragon Red" colour this brilliant red special effects paint is part of the total concept, because it highlights the powerful modulation of the body especially well. This strongly emphasises the powerfully modulated shoulder sections and large 20-inch wheels - which is a trait of high-class sports cars. When viewed from the front and rear, it immediately becomes apparent that the designers have placed what is known as the "greenhouse", the roof section with all windows, on a very muscular body frame. ![]() The team led by Volkswagen head designer Klaus Bischoff integrated these sharp proportions in a body design that makes the New Midsize Coupé a powerful and avant-garde proponent of a new, compact saloon class. So clearly this concept car exhibits proportions of an extremely sporty nature. ![]() However, as mentioned the concept car outdoes the other two in terms of its width - and it is thus midsized. However, the concept car is just 4,597 mm long and thus shorter than a Passat and shorter even than the Jetta. It is normally the term for a car of the Passat class. ![]() ![]() 'Coupé' is also unambiguous: the New Midsize Coupé is low in height (1,422 mm) and very wide (1,838 mm), it has a low visual centre of gravity, short overhangs, muscular shoulders and side sections, a dynamic roof line with markedly swept-back C-pillars, a short boot lid and long bonnet. The 'New' part goes without saying: the New Midsize Coupé is as new as a new car can be. Volkswagen has brought the concept car to Beijing for its world premiere at Auto China 2014. It's a four-door coupé the like of which has never been seen before in this vehicle class: the New Midsize Coupé concept car. ![]()
