Geneva 2014: Volkswagen Transporter 'Alltrack' revealed

Volkswagen has unveiled a four-wheel drive version of its Transporter. Badged as Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack at its Geneva motor show launch, it boasts a 4Motion drivetrain and off-road technology.

The Transporter Alltrack show car features 19-inch alloy wheels, rugged exterior cladding with integrated underbody protection and 'Moonstone Mother of Pearl Effect' paint.

Inside it features grey-blue leather seat trim and a genuine wood boat floor and door trims. Functions are accessed by an 8-inch touchscreen and audio functions play through a Dynaudio surround sound system.

It is fitted with a floor-mounted track system which Volkswagen claims offers “tremendous versatility”. It serves as a base for the Alltrack’s movable seats or a mobile kitchen module, which comes with a cooled box, gas cooker and a sink with a fresh water tank. It can be removed to be used outside of the vehicle.

The concept is powered by a 2.0-litre TDI engine developing 178bhp transferred to all four wheels via a Haldex multi-plate coupling. It has an approach angle of 21 degrees and a departure angle of 15 degrees.

Volkswagen says the Multivan Alltrack, the spiritual successor to the Transporter Syncro from the 1980s, underlines the “enormous potential” of the current model, suggesting a production model could be a possibility
