Volkswagen has a rich history with convertibles, but for the time being, there is no open car from the brand in the pipeline.
At the introduction of the new Volkswagen T-Roc, we naturally asked Volkswagen CEO Thomas Schäfer Whether there is an open version in the Pipeline Again. He was very clear about that: no. However, that was not a big surprise, because the Volkswagen t-roc convertible is Quite a strange duck in the pound. It is not only a remarkable combination of an suv and a convertible, but also the only open car of the brand. For the time being, it seems to have leg the last one.
In an interview with AutoCar , design chief Andreas Mindt Reveeals that an open Volkswagen is not currently in the pipeline. Accordance to him, the convertible industry-wide is currently as good as dead (at brands like Volkswagen), because it simply takes a lot of time to develop fuel and electric models side by side. “That’s why you don’t see convertibles anymore, because everyone has to double the portfolio. Nobody has time to develop a convertible as well.” Volkswagen Doesn’t Either, But Mindt Sees Opportunities in The Future: “When the fuel Models that out and we no longer have to have a double portfolio, then will be derivatives such as convertibles again. Look, that’s a nice prospect, right?
