The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is one of a range of automobile platforms of the Volkswagen Group. MQB stands for the German Modularer Querbaukasten, which can be loosely translated as "Modular Transverse Matrix". This component matrix is intended to allow Volkswagen Group to design a wide variety of transverse, front-engined, front-wheel drive models using the same set of components.Cars based on MQB are expected to range from superminis to large family cars, replacing current models ranging from the koda Fabia up to the Volkswagen Passat. MQB will hence supersede the current PQ25, PQ35 and PQ46 platforms.All Volkswagen Group MQB platform cars will share the same engine, front axle and pedal box positioning, but the platform will be flexible enough to allow individual models to have a variety of wheelbase, track and external dimensions.
