On Tuesday, we brought you the initial details on the new VW CrossGolf, which made its debut in Paris yesterday. Autoblogger Eric Bryant snapped some pictures of the neat-looking veedub and forwarded along the official info from Volkswagen.

First things first: while the CrossGolf goes for a quasi-SUV look, it's still a front-drive-only vehicle. Like its cousin, the CrossPolo, the CrossGolf gets Audi Allroad-like trim on the bumpers and rockers. It also shares its younger brother's wheel design and gets a nice set of silver roof rails. Unfortunately, like the CrossPolo, it won't be available here.

Based on the tall-bodied Golf Plus, the CrossGolf offers a roomy and flexible interior for a car its size, and can be had with a little zip underhood. The two top engines are the 1.4 TSI and the 2.0TDI, each of which makes 140 horsepower. The base engines ( one gas, one diesel) are significantly less powerful. The 1.4 TSI and both TDI powerplants can be had with the DSG direct shift gearbox. a feature VW is quickly spreading around its lineup.

Here are some spy shots of what is most likely the oft caught Volkswagen CrossGolf/Bedouin mini-ute. Our friends from the GermanCarBlog somehow pair this mule with the Concept A ute that debuted in Geneva. In retrospect, the Concept A seems more like an exercise in design rather than a precursor to a production vehicle. The vehicle we see in this shot shares hardly any visual cues with the Concept A (besides the badge) and is most likely the latest iteration of the elusive CrossGolf. Then again, we could be completely off.
