VW Passat Alltrack 2015 - pictures

The VW Passat Alltrack adds four-wheel-drive and rugged styling additions to the Passat estate car.

The Passat Alltrack costs an extra £3,000 over the Passat GT.

The VW Passat Alltrack retains the standard cars interior but adds part-Alcantara seats and a different finish to the dashboard.

Longer-travel suspension adds softness to the ride.

The Alltrack will be offered in the UK with the two higher-powered 2.0 TDI diesel engines from the standard Passat range.

The 148bhp model features a six-speed manual gearbox while the 187bhp model comes with a DSG automatic.

VW's 4MOTION four-wheel-drive system can push power to the back wheels if the front ones lose grip.

Being based on the Passat estate ensures this Alltrack is a very practical car.

The Alltrack features matt silver bodywork additions which don't stand out on the car pictured here - but go for a shade like the vivid Habanero Orange and it looks great.
