大众在日内瓦车展发布了帕萨特Alltrack,新车行驶高度进一步提升,外观更粗犷。这款车基于帕萨特Variant，它只提供4MOTION全驱系统，离地间隙达到27.5厘米。车身轮拱周围、侧裙和保险杠底部增加塑料防擦条，使这辆旅行车外观更粗犷。基于同样原因，车底增加不锈钢护板，用于保护车内部件不会在崎岖路面行驶时被碎石打坏。该车前后保险杠略微改款以增加车辆接近角和离去角，同时增加越野行驶模式以强化车辆在湿滑路面的抓地力，在该模式下，节气门反应，制动输入和陡坡启动及缓降系统反应都有所改变。至于动力系统，大众提供了150马力1.4升和220马力2.0升TSI以及150马力/190马力和240马力2.0升TDI引擎。动力最强的汽油和柴油引擎可提供XDS+系统，可提升车辆过弯时的稳定性。所有引擎都满足欧6排放标准并标配停启系统以降低油耗。大众没有公布该车价格，不过由于配备全驱系统，价格将比帕萨特Variant更高。
Volkswagen Passat Alltrack arrives in Geneva with increased ride height, rugged looks
Volkswagen has introduced the Passat Alltrack today at the 85th Geneva Motor Show.
Based on the Passat Variant, the new Alltrack derivative comes exclusively with a 4MOTION all-wheel drive system and sits 27.5mm higher than the standard car. The body has received some plastic cladding around the wheel arches, side skirts and the lower sections of the bumpers to provide the wagon with a more rugged styling. For the same reason, Volkswagen has added stainless steel underbody which also protects the components whenever tackling rough terrain.
The bumpers adopt a slightly different design to improve the approach and departure angles, very important when driving on bumpy roads. Speaking of which, an "Off Road" driving mode has been added which upon activation will enhance grip on slippery roads by making some adjustments to the throttle response, braking input as well as to the hill start and descent systems.
Customers will be able to buy the Passat Alltrack with a 150 HP 1.4 TSI and a beefier 2.0 TSI rated at 220 HP while on the side there’s a 2.0 TDI with 150 HP, 190 HP and 240 HP. Opt for the most powerful gasoline or diesel engine and the car also gets an XDS+ system which will apply the brakes to the inside wheels to improve stability during cornering. All engines are Euro 6 compliant and come as standard with a stop/start system to cut fuel consumption.
Pricing hasn't been announced yet but rest assure the Alltrack "all-wheel drive all-rounder" will be more expensive than the Volkswagen Passat Variant upon which is based.
