Volkswagen is launching a new SUV called the T-Cross in 2018.
It is just one of the 19 SUVs the car manufacturer is planning to launch by 2020.
The new car will be a similar size to the current Golf but offer some of the practicality features of a larger crossover.
A convertible version of the car could also be revealed which would resemble the T-Cross Breeze concept which was first shown at the Geneva Motor Show 2016.
In terms of design, the car looks like the new T-Roc which was revealed earlier this year but has narrower proportions, different bumper, rear-end and of course the drop-top if it goes into production.
The T Cross will be based on the smallest version of its MQG platform, which is also used to build the Golf hatchback and SEAT Arona.
Powertrain options for the T Cross have yet to be confirmed.

The interior of the new T Cross will be based on the one inside the current Golf hatchbacks including body-coloured trim and options to improve and scale up the infotainment system and tech on board.
There may be an increase to legroom and bootspace being a crossover but dimensions are yet to be officially confirmed.
It is likely to go on sale in mid-2018 and costs from around £15,000.
