2018 Volkswagen Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg returns with next year’s tech

The 2018 Volkswagen Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition has been announced this week, reviving the nameplate and bringing more technology for the new model year.


Limited to just 250 units this time round, the Wolfsburg Edition of the jacked-up Passat kicks of at $54,990 plus on-road costs - $4200 more than the Passat 140TDI Alltrack base car.

Standard kit in the Wolfsburg model includes black nappa leather, the 12.3-inch Active Info driver's display, 19-inch 'Albertville' alloy wheels, LED headlights with LED daytime-running lights, 'premium' LED tail-lights, ambient interior lighting, automatic tailgate, steering-mounted paddle shifters, rear privacy glass, easy entry and exit function for the front electric seats with memory, and - of course - Wolfsburg crest badging.

For the 2018 model-year, the Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition also picks up the company's new 9.2-inch Discover Pro infotainment system with gesture control, first seen in in the Mk 7.5 Golf range and soon after in Skoda's updated Superb. The system also offers two USB ports in the front and manoeuvre braking display for the front and rear.

It's the first time the new Discover Pro media system has been fitted to the Passat in Australia, and the changes are due to hit the wider Passat range in the months ahead - although exact timing is still to be confirmed.

Buyers of the MY18 Passat Alltrack are also able to opt for a panoramic sunroof ($2000), along with two new colours - Atlantic Blue or Manganese Grey metallic ($700). Pure white is a no-cost option.

Under the bonnet is the familiar 140kW/400Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine from the standard Passat Alltrack, mated to a six-speed wet clutch DSG transmission sending drive to all four wheels via the company's 4Motion all-wheel drive system.
