Volkswagen Pickup Concept

Volkswagen will be displaying their new Pickup Concept not at the Paris Motor Show but the 62nd IAA Commercial Vehicles Show this week. The concept pick-up truck previews an upcoming 1 tonne pick-up truck that will apparently be called the Volkswagen Taro (after its old Taro pickup which was a rebadged Hilux) or a Volkswagen Robust. But hey, who knows it might even be called both – different names for different markets. Look after the jump for a hi-res gallery of the Volkswagen Pickup Concept.

    No. 2?

    I love it! It’s boxy and square! (Which is why i also like the Ranger)

    Love it love it love it! Definitely looks moch better than VW’s own Tourag and Tiguan.

    And fitted with powerful VW diesiel engine… this will be my new dream machine.

    Would it be arriving in this country, through Thailand perhaps? If it does I’ll cancel all my other potential bookings.

    Hey.. VW now uses the design language from their VW UP! concept cars not long ago. Nice IMHO.

    I must say this is the coolest-looking midsize pickup truck so far…albeit still being a concept…but I suppose it’s only a few tweaks away from production… =D

    The VW’s logo is too big, look kind of ugly. I prefer Triton.
