Volkswagen shows its concept Multivan Alltrack in Geneva

(March 4, 2014) GENEVA — Supreme, effortless ease is the key to freedom. The Multivan Alltrack is an outstanding example of this, equipped for any task and any route, according to Volkswagen

"At the harbor, it stylishly tows a boat trailer.  In the city it proves a spacious, reliable partner that wouldn’t look out of place in front of the opera house. Thanks to its spacious interior it also provides room for any shopping trip. Featuring 4MOTION all-wheel drive and off-road technology — the Multivan Alltrack is just as much a master of winding roads as it is off-road terrain," Volkswagen says.


Multivan Alltrack — the name speaks for itself. A vehicle for all roads and any track. And above all: a multivan. Its flexibility is legendary. Its numerous features ensure that every conceivable task and any associated luggage can be handled with ease, making it suitable for even the most demanding of transportation tasks. The design of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles’ Multivan Alltrack differs significantly from other models in its segment; its high-gloss 19-inch wheels, precise details to its exterior body — finished in ‘Moonstone Mother of Pear’ paint — and its sophisticated interior really set the Multivan Alltrack apart.



The robust front and rear bumpers, offset in grey and with integrated underbody protection in matt silver, contrast with the discrete, elegant exterior, as do the wheel arches, protective side strips and boot sill protector. This apparent contradiction is intentional — a metaphor for the two worlds of the Multivan Alltrack: turning in a first-class performance both on and off the road.

Of course, the Multivan naturally has more than just a striking appearance. The drivetrain gets its power from a 2.0-liter TDI 174 horsepower engine which is transferred to a Haldex multi-plate coupling mounted to the rear axle. It has an approach angle of 21° and a departure angle of 15°.

This concept vehicle emphasizes Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles' all-wheel drive expertise which began 29 years ago with the T3 Transporter — both as a minibus and a van. For the last five years, the Caddy 4MOTION has been peerless in its market segment. Since 2010, the Amarok pick-up has also set new benchmarks in its class.

This has been in response to genuine customer demand: one in every five commercial vehicles sold by Volkswagen in Europe is ordered with all-wheel drive. No comparable manufacturer enjoys such popularity with this technology.
