Review: Volkswagen B8 Passat Alltrack (2016-18)

Overview

Released in Australia in February 2016, the Volkswagen Mk.7 Passat Alltrack was a mid-size, all-wheel drive wagon. Manufactured in Germany, the Volkswagen B8 Passat Alltrack was powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine that was mated to a six-speed double clutch transmission. Although based on the B8 Passat wagon, the B8 Passat Alltrack had a Haldex all-wheel drive system and increased ground clearance.

To reduce fuel consumption, the DFCA engine had a Start/Stop function that enabled it to shut down the Passat Alltrack was stationary in traffic. Over the combined ADR 81/02 test cycle, fuel consumption for the B8 Passat Alltrack was 5.4 litres per 100 km.

4MOTION all-wheel drive system

The Volkswagen B8 Passat Alltrack had a fifth generation Haldex (‘Haldex GenV’) coupling which utilised a wet multi-plate clutch. Since operation of the coupling was independent of the front and rear axle speeds, full locking torque could be applied at any given time and speed via an electrical pump that compressed the disc package. When coasting or with low engine loads, the clutch could disengage to direct all engine torque to the front axle and minimise fuel consumption. In traction/high slip conditions, however, the clutch could engage to direct up to 50 per cent of the engine’s torque to the rear axle (i.e. a 50:50 front:rear torque split).

For the Passat Alltrack, both the front and rear axles were fitted with electronic differential locks (Volkswagen’s ‘XDL’) that could brake a spinning wheel to transfer torque to the opposing wheel on that axle.

Body and dimensions

The Volkswagen B8 Passat was underpinned by Volkswagen’s Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB). Like the B8 Passat wagon , the Passat Alltrack is understood to have body rigidity of 25,000 Nm/degree.

Compared to the B7 Passat Alltrack , the B8 Passat Alltrack was 6 mm longer (at 4777 mm), 12 mm wider (1832 mm), 44 mm lower (1505 mm) and had an 80 mm longer wheelbase (2791 mm); ground clearance was 174 mm (27.5 mm greater than the B8 Passat ). The Volkswagen B8 Passat Alltrack had luggage capacity of 639 litres with the rear seats in position, though this increased to 1769 litres when the rear seats were folded flat.

Suspension

The Volkswagen B8 Passat Alltrack had MacPherson strut front suspension with lower wishbones, coil springs and an anti-roll bar. The independent, four-link rear suspension also utilised coil springs and an anti-roll bar.

Steering

The Volkswagen B8 Passat Alltrack had rack-and-pinion steering with electric power assistance; its turning circle was 11.4 metres.

Safety equipment

Standard safety equipment for the Volkswagen B8 Passat Alltrack included dual front airbags, a driver’s knee airbag, front and rear side airbags, full-length curtain airbags (i.e. for front and rear occupants), ABS, electronic stability control, traction control, front and outer rear seatbelts with pre-tensioners and front seatbelt load limiters.

As standard, the Passat Alltrack was also equipped with:

• Front Assist: used a radar sensor to detect if the vehicle was closing too fast on the vehicle ahead. If this occurred, Front Assist 1) provided audible and visual warnings to the driver, 2) brought the brake pads into contact with the brake discs for an emergency stop; and, 3) provided a jolting brake application to alert the driver. If the driver failed to respond, Front Assist would apply the brakes automatically to avoid or reduce the severity a collision;
• City Emergency Brake: an extension of Front Assist, City Emergency Braking operated at speeds up to 65 km/h and used a radar sensor and front camera to monitor the area ahead for vehicles and pedestrians. If a collision was anticipated, the driver was alerted via visual and audible warnings, followed by jolting brake application. If the driver failed to respond, the system would initiate emergency braking;
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): using a radar sensor, ACC could maintain a pre-set distance to the vehicle ahead (including autonomous braking) and cause the vehicle to accelerate to its pre-set speed after braking;
• Rear Traffic Alert: when the driver was attempting to reverse out of a parking space, the Rear Traffic Alert system used radar sensors in the rear bumper to detect traffic up to 50 metres away that may cross the vehicle’s intended path. If a collision was considered imminent, Rear Traffic Alert would provide a visual warning, followed by an audible warning. If the driver did not respond to the warnings and there was an immediate collision risk, Rear Traffic Alert would automatically apply the brakes;
• Lane Assist (lane departure warning): using a camera to recognise lane markings, Lane Assist could detect unintentional lane drifting or changing and provide corrective steering actions for up to eight seconds. If the corrective steering actions were insufficient, the driver would be warned via steering wheel vibrations;
• Side Assist (lane change assistant): operated at speeds above 60 km/h and used two radar sensors in the rear bumper to monitor the area up to 70 metres behind the vehicle. If a vehicle was detected approaching from the rear or alongside the Passat, the driver was warned by illumination of an LED in the door mirror housing. If the driver then activated the turn indicator in the direction of the detected vehicle, the Side Assist indicator flashed to draw the driver’s attention to the mirror. If the driver attempted to steer into that area, the Lane Assist system would provide a counter-steering action to prevent the lane change; and,
• Driver Fatigue Detection: operating at speeds over 65 km/h, Driver Fatigue Detection monitored steering wheel movements for signs of fatigue. If detected, the driver would receive a warning in the multi-function display and an acoustic signal. The warning would be repeated after 15 minutes if the driver had not taken a break.

Euro NCAP testing

In Euro NCAP testing , the 2014 Volkswagen Mk.7 Passat 2.0 TDI Comfortline received a five star safety rating which included an 85 per cent adult occupant protection rating and an 87 per cent child occupant protection rating. In the offset crash test, protection of the driver’s head, thighs and feet were rated as good, though chest and lower leg protection were rated as adequate (i.e. a slight risk of serious injury); protection of the front passenger was rated as good in all areas. In the side impact test, protection of all areas was rated as good. In the more severe pole test, however, protection of the driver’s chest and abdomen were rated as adequate.

Under ANCAP’s methodology , this testing resulted in a five star adult occupant protection rating with a score of 35.89 out of 37.

The Passat Alltrack was also equipped with Volkswagen’s ‘Driving Profile Selection’ which enabled the driver to select from Normal, Sport, Eco and Individual drive modes which adjusted accelerator pedal response, engine mapping, power steering assistance, transmission behaviour and air conditioning output.

As standard, the Passat Alltrack was fitted with a full-size spare alloy wheel.

August 2016 update (MY17 changes)

In August 2016, standard features for the Volkswagen Passat Alltrack were extended to include fourteen-way power adjustable front seats, a massage function for the driver’s seat, memory function for the driver’s seat and door mirrors, power folding door mirrors, an auto-dimming driver’s side door mirror and kerb view function for the passenger side door mirror. Furthermore, the Passat Alltrack was fitted with Volkswagen’s ‘Air Care’ dual zone climate control air conditioning system which included an air cleaning function and allergen filter.

2017 Volkswagen Passat Alltrack 140TDI Wolfsburg Edition

The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack 140TDI Wolfsburg Edition was released in Australia in January 2017. Visually, the Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition could be identified by its 8.0J x 19-inch ‘Albertville’ alloy wheels with 245/40 R19 tyres, LED headlights, rear privacy glass and ‘Wolfsburg’ badging. Inside, standard features for the Wolfsburg Edition were extended to include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster (Volkswagen’s ‘Active Info Display’), Nappa leather seat upholstery, steering wheel gearshift paddles, aluminium inserts for the dashboard and doors, piano black centre console trim, LED ambient interior lighting and black headliner.

As standard, the Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition was fitted with ‘Adaptive Chassis Control’ which consisted of electronically-controlled dampers; the driver could also select from Normal, Sport or Comfort suspension settings.

The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition was available in white, metallic grey or Crimson Red paint finishes, the latter being unique to the Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition. Australian-deliveries of the Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg Edition were limited to 250 vehicles.

The Volkswagen Passat Alltrack 140TDI Wolfsburg Edition returned to Australia in August 2017. Compared to the earlier Passat Alltrack Wolfsburg Editions, however, these models were equipped with Volkswagen’s ‘Discover Pro’ infotainment system which had a 9.2-inch display with Gesture Control.

Overview

Released in October 2012, the Volkswagen Mk.6 Passat Alltrack was a mid-size, all-wheel drive wagon. Manufactured in Germany, the VW Mk.6 Passat Alltrack was powered by a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine that was mated to a six-speed double clutch transmission. Although there were no generations of the Passat Alltrack prior to the Mk.6, it was so called because it was based on the Mk.6 Passat wagon . 

TDI engine

The Passat Alltrck’s 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine had common-rail injection, double overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder and a compression ratio of 16.5:1. The engine also featured Volkswagen’s Start/Stop system which enabled it to shut down when the vehicle was stationary in traffic.

Dimensions

Compared to the Passat wagon, the Mk.6 Passat Alltrack was the same length (4771 mm) and width (1820 mm), while wheelbase length (2711 mm) was also unchanged. However, ground clearance for the Passat Alltrack was increased by 30 mm to 165 mm. With the rear seats in position, the Passat Alltrack had cargo capacity of 588 litres, though this increased to 1716 litres when the rear seats were folded down.

The Passat Alltrack had a maximum payload of 656 kg and maximum braked towing capacity of 1800 kg.

Suspension

The Passat Alltrack had MacPherson strut front suspension with lower A-arms and four-link rear suspension, the latter with an isolated subframe to which the upright was joined in a transverse direction. Adaptive Chassis Control was available as an extra-cost option and provided variable suspension damping according to road conditions and the driving situation (i.e. acceleration, braking and steering inputs). Adaptive Chassis Control also had three selectable modes: Normal, Sport and Comfort.

4MOTION all-wheel drive system

In normal conditions, the VW Passat Alltrack’s 4MOTION all-wheel drive system provided a 90:10 front:rear torque split to minimise fuel consumption. The rear wheels, however, could be engaged as required by an electrohydraulic clutch. Unlike viscous couplings, the electrohydraulic clutch did not require a speed difference between the front and rear axles as pressure was provided by an electric pump.

The Passat Alltrack was also fitted with multi-plate clutch in the rear differential and an XDS electronic front differential lock which enabled the front wheels to be individually braked with the effect of transferring torque to the opposing front wheel (i.e. cross-axle torque transfer).

Safety equipment

Standard safety equipment for the Volkswagen Mk.6 Passat Alltrack included dual front airbags, side airbags for front and rear occupants, full-length curtain airbags (i.e. for front and rear occupants), ABS, electronic brake force distribution, brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, active front seat head restraints, front seatbelt load limiters and front and outer rear seatbelt pretensioners. The Passat Alltrack also had a driver fatigue monitoring system which would provide an acoustic signal and visual message to warn the driver.

Optional (i.e. extra-cost) safety equipment included:

• Lane Assist: a using a camera to recognise lane markings, Lane Assist would detect unintentional lane drifting or changing and provide corrective steering actions for up to eight seconds;
• Side Assist: using radar sensors, Side Assist would alert the driver of vehicles located in the vehicle’s blind spot or approaching from the rear by flashing LEDs in the door mirrors;
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): when activated, ACC would maintain a pre-set distance to the vehicle ahead;
• Front Assist: operating between speeds of 30 km/h to 200 km/h, Front Assist relied upon a front-mounted radar and would warn the driver if a collision was anticipated and, subsequently, initiate an autonomus braking application with a ‘jolt’ of the brake pedal; and,
• City Emergency Braking: operating at speeds of up to 30 km/h, City Emergency Braking would provide autonomous braking if a front-end collision was anticipated.

Features

Standard features for the Volkswagen Passat Alltrack included 17-inch ‘Valley’ alloy wheels with 225/50 R17 tyres, an eight speaker sound system with a CD/DVD player, MP3-compatibility, auxiliary inputs (3.5 mm/USB/SD card), a 30GB hard drive and Bluetooth audio streaming, a satellite navigation system with a 6.5-inch touch screen, dual-zone climate control air conditioning, a power adjustable driver’s seat and heated front seats, ‘Vienna’ leather seats, cruise control, front fog lights with static cornering lights, daytime driving lights, front and rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, 60/40 split and folding rear seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift, steering wheel audio controls, Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity, voice recognition (for navigation, telephone and radio functions), remote central locking, power windows and heated mirrors, an automatically dipping rear-view mirror, a height and reach adjustable steering wheel, power-operated park brake, height adjustable front seats, three 12 volt power outlets, a cooled glovebox, tyre pressure monitoring, roof rails, a trip computer, motion-sensing alarm and an immobiliser.

Volkswagen’s ‘Park Assist’ system was available as an extra-cost option. Park Assist could be activated at speeds of up to 40 km/h and would detect suitable parking spaces by using its ultrasonic sensors. To park the vehicle, the driver would engage reverse gear and the system would automatically steer – but not accelerate or brake – the vehicle into the parking space.

Overview

Manufacturers, or importers, issue recalls for defects or faults which have the potential to cause injury. Generally, manufacturers will inform the original buyers if their vehicle is subject to a recall and of the steps required to remedy the defect or fault. Please note that the recalls below (if any) are for Australian-delivered vehicles only. Furthermore, the number of recalls should not be taken as an indication of a model’s reliability or its safety more generally.

Recalls: Volkswagen Mk.6 Passat Alltrack

2012-15 Volkswagen Mk.6 Passat Alltrack 2.0 TDI: NOx emissions and “defeat device”

In October 2015, a recall was issued for 2012-15 Volkswagen Passat Alltrack vehicles with 2.0-litre EA189 diesel engines. According to the recall notice, ‘the emissions levels may not meet regulatory requirements when the affected vehicle is driven under normal conditions’ (see ‘Diesel engines: NOx emissions “defeat device”‘, below). For the 2.0-litre EA189 engine, a software update will be introduced which takes advantage of improved simulation of air currents inside the air intake system. Volkswagen aims to implement the software update from January 2016; the labour time for installing the updated software is around half an hour. Owners could determine if their vehicles were part of the recall by visiting volkswagendieselinfo.com.au (PRA 2015/14950).

2011-12 model year Volkswagen Passat Alltrack: overheating of starter motor relay

In March 2018, a recall was issued for 2011 and 2012 ‘model year’ Volkswagen Passat Alltrack vehicles. In these vehicles, a bent or broken spring could obstruct the clearance of the spindle in the starter motor relay. Over time, this could cause a blockage, a permanent current supply to the starter motor and overheating of the starter motor relay. If the current supply was not detected, overheating of the starter motor relay could cause local scorching damage and a possible vehicle fire. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2018/16669.

2012-16 Volkswagen B7 Passat Alltrack: Takata airbag recall

In February 2019, recall campaign 69Q7 was issued for Volkswagen B7 Passat Alltrack vehicles that were supplied in the Northern Territory, Queensland and Western Australia prior to 1 January 2016. The steering wheels in these vehicles contained Takata airbags and, over time, propellant wafers inside the airbag could absorb moisture. In the event of airbag deployment, this could cause excessive pressure inside the metal airbag inflator housing such that it could explode and project metal fragments through the airbag cushion and into the vehicle’s cabin. These metal fragments had the potential to cause serious injury or fatality. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17348.

2012-15 Volkswagen Mk.6 Passat Alltrack: Takata airbag recall

In June 2019, recall campaign 69Q7 was issued for Volkswagen Mk.6 Passat Alltrack vehicles. These vehicles had Takata driver’s airbags and propellant wafers inside these airbags could absorb moisture over time. In the event of airbag deployment, excessive pressure in the airbag inflator housing could cause it to rupture and metal fragments could be projected through the airbag cushion and into the vehicle’s cabin. These metal fragments posed a risk of serious injury and fatality. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17582.

Diesel engines: NOx emissions “defeat device”

Australian-delivered Volkswagen Passat Alltrack vehicles powered by 2.0-litre diesel engines that were available for sale from 2012 to 2015 had software in the electronic control module (ECM) that could sense – via sensors measuring the position of the steering wheel, vehicle speed, the duration of the engine’s operation and barometric pressure – when the vehicle was undergoing emissions testing. The ECM would then run a ‘dyno calibration’ to produce lower nitrous oxide emissions during testing. At all other times, the ECM would run a separate ‘road calibration’ which reduced the effectiveness of the emission control system, specifically the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) or the lean NOx trap.

Based on testing conducted by the EPA and the California Air Resources Board (CARB), NOx emissions for the ‘road calibration’ were 10 to 40 times higher than US standards – this led the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue a notice of violation under the Clean Air Act.As a result, these vehicles did not meet the environmental standards claimed by Volkswagen.

Recalls: Volkswagen Mk.7 Passat Alltrack

2015-16 model year Volkswagen Mk.7 Passat Alltrack: crush hazard from sunroof

In March 2016, a recall was issued for 2015 and 2016 ‘model year’ Volkswagen B8 Passat wagons because the limits of the roll back function for the sunroof may be exceeded when closing using the remote key. As a result, the sunroof posed a potential crush hazard if limbs were in the sunroof area during closing via the remote key (PRA 2016/15284).

2016-17 model year Volkswagen B8 Passat: bulb indicator lights may malfunction

In February 2017, a recall was issued for 2016 and 2017 model year Volkswagen Passat vehicles. In these vehicles, a software error may cause an inoperative dipped beam, main beam, daytime running light, rear fog light or indicator bulb not to be indicated to the driver; operative bulbs may also be shown to be inoperative. This could present a hazard to the occupants of the vehicle or other road users, especially in low light conditions or at night. For the VINs of the recalled Volkswagen Passat vehicles, please see PRA 2017/15890.

2017 model year Volkswagen Mk.7 Passat Alltrack: airbag and/or belt tensioner may not deploy

In April 2017, a recall was issued for 2017 Volkswagen Mk.7 Passat Alltrack vehicles. In the event of a collision, variations in the mixture ratio of propellant for the airbag and belt tensioner may prevent them from deploying; failure to deploy would increase the risk of injury to occupants. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2017/16019.

2017 Volkswagen Mk.7 Passat Alltrack: rear wheel bearing housing manufactured with insufficient hardening

In November 2017, a recall was issued for sixty-two (62) Volkswagen Mk.7 Passat vehicles because the rear wheel bearing housing may have been manufactured with an insufficient case hardening. If the wheel bearing housing fractured, the road holding of the vehicle could be significantly impaired and this would pose a hazard to vehicle occupants and other road users. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2017/16441.

2016-18 Volkswagen B8 Alltrack Passat with repaired sunroof: trim panel could detach

In April 2019, recall campaign 60D6 was issued for Volkswagen B8 Passat Alltrack vehicles that had been supplied between March 2016 and July 2018, and had a repair/replacement of the sunroof trim panel. For these vehicles, an incorrect primer may have been used as part of the installation/repair process and this could enable the sunroof trim panel to detach from the sunroof frame. If the frame detached while the vehicle was being driven, it could endanger other road users or lead to a collision. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2019/17501.
