The letters MQB won’t mean much to most readers, but to automotive insiders they represent the designation for the most adaptable automotive platform ever developed. Encompassing a wide variety of transversely configured front-engine, front- or all-wheel drive Volkswagen group vehicles, the MQB platform underpins models as disparate as the very small (and not sold here) VW Polo to the Audi Q3 to the mid-size VW Atlas SUV. In fact, an astounding 45 distinct models around the globe are MQB-derived vehicles.
