4Motion drive. Ideal for winter?
At Volkswagen, all-wheel drive is not just an off-road privilege. The 4Motion transmission is available on most models, from Golf to Sharan for passenger cars and Caddy to Crafter for commercial vehicles. Compared to the result achieved in 2015, sales of Volkswagen 4Motion passenger cars in 2016 increased by as much as 61 percent, from 2291 to 3699 units in 2016. Almost every second Tiguan sold in Poland in XNUMX was equipped with all-wheel drive.
More security
In all conditions, even when driving on a flat and very tenacious road, a car with permanent all-wheel drive is safer than cars with one drive. This is due not only to much better traction and the ability to transfer torque to each of the wheels, but also to a more even weight distribution of 4WD cars than 4WD cars.
More options when driving on paved roads
In addition to all-wheel drive, ground clearance is an important parameter for SUVs. For the Alltrack Pasat it is 4 mm (i.e. 174 mm more than for the Passat Variant), while for the Tiguan 27,5Motion it is 4 mm. The off-road capabilities of these Volkswagen models are further enhanced by the off-road mode. For example, in the Tiguan, the driver has the ability to adjust driving parameters according to road conditions using a knob that activates the 200Motion Active Control system. In off-road mode, provides safe and efficient movement in difficult terrain.

Best Performance
The 4Motion all-wheel drive is the basis not only for greater off-road capability, but above all for good driving performance and top vehicle performance. That's why the 4Motion transmission is a must for the Golf R Series, Volkswagen's most powerful compact car. Thanks to the 310 hp engine. and all-wheel drive, the new Golf R with DSG transmission accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4,6 seconds on dry or wet pavement and even on loose roads.
Ability to tow a trailer with a larger mass
The Passat Alltrack and Tiguan equipped with 4Motion 4WD also work well as a workhorse. Passat Alltrack can climb slopes up to 12% with a trailer with a curb weight of 2200 kg. Even more impressive in this area are the capabilities of the Tiguan, which can tow a trailer weighing up to 2500 kg.
