大众近日发布了帕萨特Alltrack,该车将在日内瓦车展与公众见面。该车基于最新款帕萨特Variant,它的离地间隙增加27.5毫米,外观风格更粗犷,轮拱和侧踏板周围增加塑料防擦条,前后保险杠采用不同设计以提升吸引力,离去角进一步增加以适应崎岖路面行驶。车底还安装了不锈钢护板以保护易损部件。该车标配4MOTION分时四驱,在普通路面行驶时,动力主要传递至前轮,而在需要更多抓地力时,Haldex耦合器及时介入,将动力传递至后驱动桥以提升牵引力。标配的差速器锁止系统可将动力传递至任何一个车轮以获得最大牵引力。该车还增加了“Off Road”越野模式,采用该模式后可改变制动,节气门反应,坡起和下坡辅助系统设置以提升车辆在湿滑路面牵引力。该车动力系统与帕萨特Variant共享,包括150马力1.4升TSI,220马力2.0升TSI和三种2.0升TDI柴油引擎,功率分别为150马力,190马力和240马力。
Volkswagen Passat Alltrack puts on a rugged suit
Volkswagen has revealed the Alltrack version of the new Passat ahead of a public debut set for Geneva Motor Show early next month.
Based on the latest Passat Variant, the new Alltrack derivative comes with a 27.5 mm increased ride height and adopts a slightly more rugged design with plastic body cladding on the wheel arches and sill trims while the front and rear bumpers have a different design to improve the car's approach and departure angles when travelling on bumpy roads. Volkswagen has also installed stainless steel underbody plates to protect the car's vulnerable components.
The Passat Alltrack comes as standard with a 4MOTION on-demand all-wheel drive system which in normal road conditions channels the engine's power to the front wheels but whenever more grip is necessary the Haldex coupling kicks in and sends power to the rear axle to improve traction. The standard differential lock transfers power to whichever wheel has the most traction.
Volkswagen has also added an "Off Road" driving mode which upon activation will alter the braking input, throttle response and the hill start & descent systems to further boost the car’s grip on slippery roads.
As you would expect, the engines are sourced from the regular Passat Variant and these include a 150 HP 1.4 TSI and a 220 HP 2.0 TSI along with three 2.0 TDIs developing 150 HP, 190 HP and 240 HP.
The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack will premiere in less than two weeks at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show.
