German automobile giant Volkswagen introduced a new concept car with a blog post it published. Named “GEN.TRAVEL”, this concept vehicle sits between sedans and MPVs and has a Volkswagen design language that we haven’t gotten used to until today. The concept prepared for the “test of innovation” may appear in a producible version in the coming years.

GEN.TRAVEL has a rather strange design. When we look at the vehicle from the outside, we can’t compare it to anything. Because the lines of this vehicle are unusual. If you need to talk about; The first thing that welcomes us in the design details is that the ceiling partition appears to be in two parts. Apart from this, we encounter three-piece lighting at the back of the vehicle, which has thin headlights resembling the angular c letter.

Introducing Volkswagen GEN.TRAVEL

Volkswagen GEN.TRAVEL has a wing door design and has a different feel. These upward-opening doors seem to have made it easier to reach the interior of the vehicle. So why could Volkswagen have thought of such a thing?

Volkswagen’s concept vehicle has a steering-free structure. The company, which prefers the 5th level autonomous driving system instead, has tried to make the interior design a living space. This reveals why Volkswagen preferred the wing design. With this preference, passengers’ entry into the cabin is facilitated.

Volkswagen GEN.TRAVEL is equipped with a suspension system called eABC. According to the company, this AI-powered system pre-calculates acceleration, braking, wheel rotation angle and everything else related to driving dynamics to ensure the highest comfort. Moreover, in this way, the range is increased to the maximum level. According to Volkswagen, GEN.TRAVEL will have much more range than a standard car.

In the statements made by Volkswagen, the technical details of GEN.TRAVEL were not disclosed. This is because of an event that the company will hold on September 24 (tomorrow). At this event, the company will introduce the 5th level autonomous driving system. This presentation will most likely reveal the details of the engine, battery and other powertrains used in GEN.TRAVEL.

Let’s talk about the last two issues about Volkswagen’s concept vehicle. Our attentive readers may have noticed that the Volkswagen logo is not used on this vehicle. There is a reason for this. GEN.TRAVEL is a vehicle that covers not only Volkswagen but all brands within Volkswagen. That’s why the phrase “Volkswagen Group” is used on the front and rear. And even if this vehicle goes into mass production one day, you won’t be able to buy it. This is because Volkswagen did not manufacture GEN.TRAVEL for individual use. The company wants this vehicle to be used as an autonomous taxi with services such as UBER.
