At the stage of the Auto Expo 2020, Volkswagen A0 SUV, the biggest interest of the SUV line-up, will show up under the form of a near-production model. This model will be underpinned by the MBA0 IN platform which is based on the international-spec MBA0 and developed specifically for the India market. With the revised platform, the A0 SUV will sport a wheelbase of 2,651 mm, which is longer the Euro-spec T-Cross by 100mm. Along with the new platform, the India-spec A0 SUV will come with new body panels and better interior space. Higher ground clearance is also promised.

Volkswagen A0 is expected to be powered by a 1.5-litre TSI Petrol engine which can deliver a top power of 130 Bhp. While there is little chance for a diesel engine to show up in the range of the upcoming SUV, it is likely to get a CNG option for its petrol engine.
