Volkswagen is offering a choice of four efficient and extremely high-torque turbo-charged direct injection engines for the second generation Passat Alltrack: one turbo petrol engine (TSI) and three turbodiesel engines (TDI). The powerful TSI delivers 220 horsepower / 162 kW. The range of high- torque TDI engines starts at 150 HP / 110 kW; two additional engines in the next power ratings deliver 190 HP / 140 kW and 240 HP / 176 kW. A stop/start system and energy recovery system are included in the standard specification and, needless to say, every Passat Alltrack complies with the Euro 6 emissions standard. Volkswagen offers the 150 HP TDI engine with a manual 6-speed gearbox. All of the more powerful versions come equipped with a dual-clutch gearbox (DSG). The new Passat Alltrack is equipped with 4MOTION all-wheel drive as a standard feature. The exterior of this model is distinguished from others in the Passat range by a bumper with a new design including a striking grille and custom fog lights. The headlights and radiator grille merge to create the appearance of a single unit. The design of the front section appears particularly striking in conjunction with new full LED headlights. Furthermore, Volkswagen has developed new and extremely effective engine underbody protection for the Passat Alltrack. The underbody protection, a standard feature, is no longer made of steel like the predecessor; rather, it is made of extremely tough plastic. This new component results in a weight saving of 16 kg. The interior of the Passat Alltrack has been specifically modified to express the character of this all-terrain model. The high level of individualisation, the materials used and the extensive standard equipment create an exclusive and sporty ambience. One of the most important features setting the Passat Alltrack apart from other models in the series is the seat system with a new design with comfort seats at the front. The seats are visually distinguished by Alcantara on the inside of the seat side bolsters, the new “7 Summits” fabric on the centre panels and the “Alltrack” emblem on the backrests of the front seats. In terms of function, the front seats feature pockets on the back of the backrests and adjustable lumbar supports. The driver's seat is an “ergoComfort” version (with features including electric adjustment of the backrest inclination, longitudinally adjustable thigh support and electric adjustment of the lumbar support). A folding centre armrest with cup holders is integrated in the asymmetrically divided backrest of the rear bench seat. Options include two different leather trims (“Vienna” and “Nappa”), two child seats integrated in the rear bench (on the outer sides) and – for the front seats – electric 14-way adjustment, seat climate control and a massage function.
