Volkswagen Pickup

The concept measures 5.18 meters in length and is 1.9 meters wide, and with four doors and four seats it is ideal for recreational or business use. The Volkswagen Pickup also has the ability to take a standard-sized Euro pallet sideways in the flat cargo bed.

Under the bonnet, new common rail turbodiesel engines will be used in the Volkswagen Pickup to ensure it is powerful, yet clean and efficient and meets the necessary emissions requirements.

The Pickup on show at the IAA has been designed for use as a ‘Search and Rescue’ (SAR) vehicle by lifeguards and was conceptualised following consultation with emergency services as well as in-house emergency vehicle specialists. As a result it features, among a host of other features, GPS, a multifunction touchscreen infotainment unit, CB radios, a number of chassis and all-wheel drive functions, a compass, flashlights, a defibrillator and binoculars. Life jackets, rescue buoys, fire extinguishers, blankets and a tool kit are also all incorporated. Whether the ‘SAR’ vehicle will go into production is not yet decided.

^ I never cease to get a laugh here, HA!

Personally it looks like the Golf may have had an affair with a Nissan Frontier.

Much better proportioned than the TRAGIC Honda effort... It'll certainly find a few buyers.

Wow.... I'm so amazed! VW really made it their own! Most of the body looks nothing close to the Ridgeline! ;)

I'd say more like The Ridgeline had an affair with an F-150(tails lights) and their kid had an affair with a golf.

To B7FAN. Don't worry.. we'll know when he's coming. His cars now have stickers and decals everywhere promoting "davidhasselhoff.com". Even on his R8! Sad..sad man

The tailgate toolbox is kind of a cool idea. And I'm glad they made the required structural supports into what looks like a roll cage, not a sloping dowdy pillar thing like on the ridgeline. And lights under the tailgate that light up the ground! whay has no one done this??

This is might be closer to a REAL truck than a Honda Ridgeline...but (1) I bet it can't tow its own weight (2)We will NEVER see it in the U.S.

If its sold with a diesel here, it will be hot. We don't have any small trucks with diesels. However, that would be WAY too practical and popular, so we definitely won't see it in North America!
