Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg

[Eaglehawk]

I just opened my Wheels magazine, and in the Incoming section for Jan/Feb it lists Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg. I can't find anything on Google. Surely they must mean Passat 206TSI Wolfsburg...???

Interesting...

I'm keen to see this mythical beast, if it does exist! Perhaps it's an Alltrack with the 206TSI engine (and digital dash)?! I'd almost be jealous...

If it has DAB, a 360 degree camera and ventilated seats, it would be a pretty awesome car...

[Mr_206]

and head up display like in the Europe markets!! Why do we always get shafted!

I bet it comes with 4 fake exhausts...

Well if its an Alltrack with the 206 TSI motor it will have the 4 exhausts like ours do.

Looking at their price list comments at the back of the magazine it's clear they have no idea, despite listing the 206 they complain that there isn't an engine to match the r line package

Passat Alltrack with fancy wheels and nice colours. I believe it has the active dash, too.

So really, it's just a Passat AllTrack R-Line...

Nice wheel design and the virtual cockpit (wonder if they will drop the new 7 speed wet DSG in at some stage??).

Any idea when its due for release? I'm in the market mid year and wouldn't buy one without a VC particularly when it's clearly now available and fitted.

About then.

Looks like the local dealers know about this car, so I'm trying to get some details. I'll let you know if I find out anything interesting!

[andrew7]

Fantastic, please pass on details as the dealer I tried in Melbourne's West has yet to return a promised call on further info (waiting a week now )

Passat Alltrack Wolfburg Edition ($54,990 before onroads)

Special model standard equipment over and above the Passat Alltrack 140TDI model:

- Black Nappa Leather
- Active Info Display
- 19" Albertville alloys
- Adaptive Chassis Control
- LED headlights with LED daytime running lights*
- Premium LED tail lights
- Ambient interior lighting
- Easy open & close tailgate
- Titanium black headliner
- Aluminium 'Wave' dash inserts
- Piano black centre console
- Steering wheel paddles
- Tinted (65%) rear windows
- Wolfburg crest on tailgate

The headlights are special - "The Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg features new LED headlights never before seen in Australia. The create a new daytime light signature with two small LEDs in the main light modules with a row of 12 bi-colour LEDs below. The row of LEDs is illuminated orange to become the turn signal. The LED headlights are static, meaning they don't swivel when turning the steering wheel like the Dynamic LED headlights found in the Luxury Package. However they produce a brighter wide light using less energy than the standard halogen headlights."

So it sounds like a "midrange" headlight setup to me.

Colours:
- Pure White
- Iridium Grey Metallic
- Crimson Red Metallic

Options:
- Panoramic Glass Roof

I think I would still rather go the Passat 206TSI.

It's almost a diesel 206TSI... which is $5,000 cheaper!

I've noticed my 206TSI is drinking like a fish... nothing I do can get it under 10L/100kms. It's usually around 14L/100kms. Having had one for a few months, I would be tempted to go with one of these!
