 If Volkswagen wants to meet its 800,000 sales target by 2018 in the U.S, it better start adapting its vehicles and product range. Luckily for the marque, it's mulling over a 7 seat crossover.

The sport utility vehicle segment accounts for a large amount of American car sales, but the German brand only offers two models and is keen to launch a crossover.

Although nothing is official, CEO of VW U.S Jonathan Browning visualises a 7 seater CUV (crossover utility vehicle) to compete with the Kia Sorento, Chevrolet Traverse, and Mazda CX-9. Despite Volkswagen's carrying a hefty price tag, this crossover would be priced competitively and suitably for the market.
