Volkswagen has given the CrossBlue Concept, first show at last year’s Detroit Motor Show, the green light for production.

The production version of this funky crossover will be built at VW’s Chattanooga factory in the US.

The CrossBlue will be quite a large vehicle, measuring in at 4 986mm long, 2 014mm wide and 1 732mm tall. It will also have three rows of seating, which means it’ll easily accommodate up to seven passengers.

Production is set to start in late 2016, but it’s not clear whether the CrossBlue will be made available in SA.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
