MotorTrend’s spy photographer spotted Volkswagen taking their new three-row crossover out for a test spin in California. Although it was wearing a different badge, it distinctly resembled the VW Crossblue concept which debuted at the Detroit Auto Show.

All the details have not yet been confirmed, however MotorTrend speculates it will garner the Passat’s 3.6L V6 Engine and may even offer a 2.0L Turbo 4-Cylinder Engine or a hybrid version. The crossover will also most likely be available with front and all wheel drive.

What we do know, however, is that the vehicle’s exterior will feature a flat and square front end with silver roof rails. It will sit atop the VW MQB platform and fit seven. The interior will feature a sunroof and driver assistance technologies. MotorTrend expects this three-row to be Volkswagen’s most expensive vehicle yet, reaching $50,000.

The name has not yet been revealed, but we can expect to hear more details, as well as details on other new Volkswagen crossovers like the CrossBlue Coupe and Cross Coupe GTE, and the new Tiguan.
