Right. Finally all the wheels of Volkswagen new car market to offer the option of traction in any section of a dozen or so for traveling this summer. Completely distinct a VW-phile, glaciers faster vanagon that causes it to appear in old four-wheel traction may cause, but were few in number at the end of 1991 and this option disappeared. America also fall on the river's quarters, considering the corners of the nation the tools they use excuses to justify one of the biggest selling sports - VW's for so long we wondered why disable it. Subaru in this
country to be revived, marketing and forming a part of this two-part, four-wheel traction after reflecting, we were wondering why really. After all, Subaru, at the end of the spectrum, affordable all-wheel-drive cars is the only supplier of. Frankly, the opportunity was there, and VW, Audi and quattro four-wheel drive system based on two decades ago through access to hardware was able to get.
Still, all-wheel-drive Passat with the option of the last North American (later known as quantum) is a 1988 wagon. Why mysterious space? The explanation is simple: VW, only the United States 3031'88 Quantum sold and there was concern about the future: "is there any future here?" Limited sales potential in the U.S. VW's luck was running out and the cost of providing a synchronous model just did not make sense.
Fast forward to today. VW vehicles sold in the United States 315.563 in 1999, the best year since 1974. Most 68151 Passat - Honda Accord or Toyota Camry standards, but not more than 74 per cent compared to the previous year.
All-wheel-drive option by adding the sum of 80,000 this year Volkswagen expects to expand eat, and '01 in hopes to exceed 100,000. This optimism, their passion is rooted in America's four-wheel more. Four-wheel drive Passat, the sales mix in other markets 33% when generating, here's a 10% more modest than robust.
However, this estimate is based on the availability from the alert corporate. VW in fact, U.S. customers more than a year ago four-wheel-drive he planned to offer a cake, but the Emden factory in Germany is able to keep up with the high demand for new car and were faced with supply constraints, VW 1999 shelved the program.
Our hands never non - '99 one in four-wheel-drive wagon, we found our steps and took the test track. Since then, VW, in accordance with the marketing system from the marketing name for Syncro 4MOTION, more descriptive and emotional as a handle changed. Of course.
VW, Audi, such as may be using a term to embrace different systems in two different formats. For example, 4MOTION from a VW Golf, cross-mounted engines used in vehicles with a hydro-mechanically joined system uses Haldex. Like the Passat, the north-south motor cars in the middle of a torrent diferansiyelli automatic locking system is used. Unlike the Haldex version, the Passat 4Motion system under normal operating conditions, one-by allocating power in a 50/50 ratio to the rear provides a lasting fit.
System, front-rear Power splitting at each end to roughly one-third / two-thirds up may change, but in general, the transition to the bare pavement all four wheels and begins to scratch at the mud and don't have the time delay the system from the back.
One of the power-distribution in a mechanical system is definitely 4Motion. However, Call Of Duty, you're the guru of grip left, the river left side / right side to compensate for differences, electronic differential lock, or EDL manages side-by-side power distribution. Antilock braking sensors which is managed by the EDL, and found the grip of a single wheel, even when wheelspin to check the balance and bring back a brake intervention traction uses. Speeds to avoid overheating the brakes at 50 miles / hour when it stops.
Various Audi quattro - the A4, A6 and A8 we've had experience with the system, but VW, Passat 4MOTION, with the drive through the French Alps to Monaco, this year's Geneva Auto Show following outgoing short gave a refresher course. It is used for the annual Monte Carlo rally. We were impressed. The car is also. Travellers cautious while downloading to scan two-wheel drive, the Passat cars in our sample, GLX sedan, effortlessly running high in the regions of the Alpine region snow almost never slip or without slip, the skirt and clenched his claws through the ice. The operation of the system is completely transparent - you can come in and drive.
We have only two reservations.
First, the VW Passat and the five-speed manual with the equipment we wish to prepare. The standard five-speed Tiptronic automatic, although a manual drive, 2.8-liter DOHC 30 valve V-6 would allow you to benefit the most from. This engine, 190 horsepower, 206 pound-feet of torque, with a respectable degree he has, but passats 4MATIC (according to VW specification) 240 pounds seemed anemic in passing situations gives extra power and especially at high altitudes.
This impression, Passat GLS Syncro wagon with the test we did is powered by a top speed of 60 mph in 9.4 seconds were needed to achieve this. The most recent test in the same car, sans all-wheel drive (C / D, April 2000), appeared in 60 mph in 8.0 seconds.
Then there's the matter of money. Audis, as in all the wheels add traction on a VW Passat, GLX sedan in the premium versions, the price of $ 30.990 to the limit as more than $ 30,000, which is $ 1650 would bring back. VW, leather, Electric convertible roof, Automatic Climate control distributes all of the content at this price - but mid-size Sedan is a serious money for. ("Entry-level" GLS V-6 4Motion sedan 27.050 dollars, a wagon and $ 800 for Add.)
Then again, the dial of this stylish sedan and wagons, four-wheel traction, adding just increase the appeal. And security, How do you determine the price?
