A jacked-up version of VW’s new Passat B8 with the usual crossover styling references and the Alltrack designation will join the saloon and estate models next year.
The new VW Passat Alltrack will go on sale in the UK in July 2015, which likely places its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show in March of the same year.
Like the outgoing model as well as the smaller and less expensive (Jetta) Golf Alltrack that’s schedule for a world premiere in Paris this week, the new Passat Alltrack will be based on the station wagon version of the series.
Along with a taller suspension (raised by around 20 to 30mm) for greater road clearance in the… rare chance users take it off the road, the Alltrack Passat will get VW’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system with an electronic front differential lock and a series of SUV-inspired styling elements such as the protection plates on both ends.
The engine range will mirror that of the regular Passat models.
