Volkswagen has a lot planned for 2018, and is giving us a rundown of what to expect from the German carmaker. Aside from new products, there’s also a new design study for its I.D. electric vehicle line-up, and even a Pikes Peak race car.
First up is the up! GTI, a high-performance version of the pint-sized city car, which is set to be launched in selected markets. In the spring during the Beijing Auto Show, the third-generation Touareg celebrates its global premiere after being previewed by the T-Prime Concept GTE in 2016.
Earlier spyshots reveal an SUV that looks a lot like an upsized Tiguan, and Volkswagen says the cockpit will be a “special highlight.” That should enhance the premium feel of the Touareg, as the concept features a dual-screen Curved Interaction Area, with a bevy of touchscreens to access many of the car’s systems.
Later on, we’ll witness the rollout new Jetta and T-Cross – the latter being a small SUV that was previewed by a similarly-named concept from 2016. Volkswagen will also introduce a new I.D. study to join the three existing ones – I.D. Crozz, I.D. Buzz and the original I.D. concept. Last but not least, an all-electric race car will look to set a new record at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado.

I take all of these new car announcements with a grain of salt. All last year, VW was promoting the U.S. release of the Mk 7.5 Golf and GTI in the fall of 2017, but as of January 2018 they still have not been released.
