VW Passat Alltrack
Volkswagen is setting the holiday season
mood with a Christmas card featuring Santa Claus and its Passat Alltrack.
Amid the "dieselgate" scandal,
which will probably be mentioned for years to come, Europe's largest automaker
is placing the rugged version of the Passat into the spotlights, detailing its
versatility, interior, increased ride height and all-wheel drive system.
Volkswagen offers the Passat Alltrack
from € 38,550 (US$ 41,775), in its local market, with two turbo petrol units, 1.4
TSI 150 PS and 2.0 TSI 220 PS, added to the three 2.0-liter TDIs, with 150 PS,
190 PS and 240 PS. Transmission options include a six-speed manual and a six-speed
dual-clutch.
All versions of the jacked-up estate
have an "Off Road" function, along with the Eco, Normal and Sport
driving modes, and bring the Front Assist, Lane Assist and Driver Alert System
as well. The estate has a towing capability of up to 2,200 kg braked
and it was unveiled earlier this year, at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.
