Geneva Motor Show: Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack debuts

The manufacturer says the concept showcases its all-wheel drive expertise which began 29 years ago with the T3 Transporter – both as a minibus and a van. It adds that one in every five commercial vehicles sold by Volkswagen in Europe is ordered with all-wheel drive. N

Design is also a key element and is intended to stand out from rivals with high-gloss 19-inch wheels and “Moonstone Mother of Pearl” paint. There’s also robust front and rear bumpers, offset in grey and with integrated underbody protection in matt silver along with protective side strips and boot sill protector.

The rugged exterior contrasts with the luxury interior that features finely stitched grey-blue Poltrona Frau seats, a dark brown genuine wood boat floor and an eight-inch touchscreen.

Practical features include a floor track system that can be used for the movable individual seats along with a mobile kitchen module.

The Multivan Alltrack is powered by a 180hp 2.0 TDI engine linked to a Haldex multi-plate coupling mounted to the rear axle. It has an approach angle of 21° and a departure angle of 15°.

No details have been given on whether the concept will make it into production.
