Wolfsburg treatment for VW Passat Alltrack

First there was the Scirocco R and Golf R, and now Volkswagen Australia has released a Wolfsburg Edition version of the Passat Alltrack crossover wagon.

Just 250 examples will be available, priced at $54,990 drive-away and bringing a host of extra standard equipment over the standard Passat Alltrack ($50,790 plus on-road costs), which VW says totals $4200 in extra value.

These include Active Info Display, Adaptive Chassis Control, 19-inch Albertville alloys, LED headlights, tail-lights and daytime running lights, gearshift paddles and easy open/close tailgate.

The only option is a panoramic sunroof ($2000) and either pure white, Iridium Grey metallic or exclusive Crimson Red paint.

Visual enhancements include ambient interior lighting, 65 per cent light absorbing tinted rear windows, black headliner, aluminium ‘wave’ dash inserts, piano black centre console and Wolfsburg crest badging.

The Wolfsburg Edition retains the Alltrack’s 140kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel, six-speed DSG transmission and 4MOTION all-wheel-drive.

“Wolfsburg specia-editions are now a feature of our passenger vehicle line-up,” said Volkswagen Australia’s General Manager of Marketing and Product Ben Wilks.

“The Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition extends the Passat line-up’s already extraordinary breadth. From the 132TSI sedan at a bargain $34,990 to the executive express 206TSI wagon at $59,990, there really is a Passat for everyone.”
