VW Passat Alltrack to make Europe market debut in May

Volkswagen’s Passat Alltrack, which made its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show last November, is set to begin its entry into the market in Europe – over in the UK, the first vehicles arrive in the showrooms at the end of May.

Based on the Passat Estate, the Alltrack features 4MOTION four-wheel drive and raised ride height to give it greater agility off-road, while body enhancements provide some protection from scrapes when covering rough terrain.

Just one trim level is available in the UK, with a choice of two drivetrains, both 2.0 litre TDI units, a 140 PS variant with a six-speed manual gearbox, and a 170 PS version with six-speed DSG transmission. Standard equipment includes Alcantara upholstery, a RNS 315 touchscreen satellite navigation system, cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, tyre pressure monitoring system and 18-inch Canyon alloy wheels.

A Driver Alert System that monitors the driver’s responses to raise awareness of fatigue is also standard, with options including Park Assist, Side Scan Lane Change Assist, Adaptive Chassis Control and Automatic Distance Control with City Emergency Braking function.
