Product Overview

Volkswagen Passat Alltrack B8 facelift is an affordable mid-size station wagon in production from 2019. It is available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 2.0 liters.
Essentially an uglified Passat Variant, the Alltrack has extra black plastic but is otherwise the same. Still, some willingly pay extra for the nasty plastic bits, thinking that they will make them look "cool".

External Reviews

Reviewer score 43% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
At almost £40k, this Passat wagon needs more polish and panache. While the exterior style promises it, the car fails to deliver the restful, finely furnished load-lugging you anticipate. The engine and tyres are too noisy, at this price you’d expect leather and its driving dynamics are nothing special.
Pros
  • Decent off-road performance
  • Decent infotainment system
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • Lack of refinement
  • Poor ride quality
