Volkswagen has revealed a second idea at this year’s new York motor Show, called the Atlas Tanoak, previewing a prospective pick-up version of the new Atlas SUV.
Named after a tree native to the Pacific coastline in the U.S. the idea steps in at 5,438mm long – that’s over 400mm longer than the seven-seat Atlas. It’s based on the exact same MBQ platform as well as powered by a 276bhp 3.6-litre V6, which drives with all four wheels as well as an eight-speed automatic gearbox. VW states 0-62mph takes 8.5 seconds.
