The limited number of off-road capable all-wheel drive vans on the market means that the new Caddy Alltrack will be joining a fairly exclusive club when it’s launched later this month.<\/p>\n

Not all Caddy Alltrack models will offer power to all four wheels, but VW’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system will be an option on the Caddy Alltrack.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the new Volkswagen Caddy Alltrack won’t be available in the UK.<\/p><\/div>\n

Volkswagen have long produced a 4×4 version of the Transporter (the Transporter 4Motion) but appears to be targeting the lifestyle market more decisively with the Caddy Alltrack, whose name suggest a model with a specification echoing that of car models like the Volkswagen Passatt Alltrack.<\/p>\n

The new Caddy Alltrack will be launched at the International Automobile Show in Frankfurt from 15-27 September. It will be available as a panel van and a family MPV model.<\/p>\n

The standard specification will include several visual clues that will distinguish it clearly from the standard Caddy models. Exclusive 17-inch ‘Quito’ alloy wheels will be paired up with additional black plastic trim, an underbody protection panel, a modified radiator grill, Alltrack logos and silver roof rails.<\/p>\n

Inside, the differences continue. The Alltrack has its own 7Summits seat covers plus folding tables on the front seatbacks for passenger-carrying models. Both variants will feature a leather package (steering wheel, handbrake lever, gear lever boot) and will boast model-specific Mojave Beige metallic paintwork.<\/p>\n

However, for UK drivers thinking about buying a Caddy Alltrack, the answer will be no. Sadly VW has no current plans to offer this model in the UK market. If you want a 4-wheel drive VW van, then your only option will continue to be the Transporter 4Motion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
