Test mule. We may not get it anyway.
Article from Autoexpress
The CrossGolf (thats what its expected to be called) has wider, beefier wheelarches, modified bumpers and revised front end. Changes to the nose are likely to include Passat-style headlamps plus a chunky off-roader-style bumper, completed with grilles over the foglights and a raised air intake. The CrossGolf to be unveiled at September's Frankfurt Motor Show- rides 60mm higher than the Plus. Its also likely to have underbody and sump guards for protection when off-roading, while the 4WD set up will be based on that of the Golf 4MOTION, which distributes power evenly between the front and rear. Engines should include 1.6 and 2.0 litre FSI petrol units and 1.9 and 2.0 TDI turbodiesels. VW's DSG gearbox is likely to be an option. A hot CrossGolf hasn't been ruled out; the 4WD system could be combined with either VW's proven 2.8 litre V6 petrol motor, or the 198bhp 2.0 FSI turbo unit from the Golf GTI.
