Media Information From "syncro" to "4MOTION": 35 years of all-wheel drive in the Passat › The Passat Variant Tetra all-wheel drive concept car presented in 1983 was launched a year later as the Passat Variant syncro › Today, the Alltrack with an electronically controlled multiplate clutch is the top-level all-wheel drive Passat › In 2018 4MOTION is available for the Golf, Sharan, Passat, Arteon, T-Roc, Tiguan and Touareg Wolfsburg – 35 years ago Volkswagen presented the first Passat with all-wheel drive. Ever since then models with four driven wheels have been one of the cornerstones of the successful mid-size series. During this time Volkswagen revolutionised all-wheel drive technology. "syncro" became "4MOTION". Today, the Passat’s all-wheel drive is linked with state-of-the- art assistance systems and offers more safety and performance than ever before. This is why the all-wheel drive Passat versions are not just popular among winter sports fans. The charismatic Passat Alltrack is the top level version in the series.

Volkswagen 1983 It all starts with the Passat Variant Tetra concept car As early as 1983 the concept car called Passat Variant Tetra caused a stir and a year later it was launched under the name Passat Variant syncro. The second Passat generation (B2) was the first passenger car in the Volkswagen range to feature all-wheel drive – and it was here to stay. Even the first model made a clear statement. It boasted head-turning sporty GT equipment, a sonorous 2.0-litre five-cylinder engine and cutting-edge technology with traction and safety advantages. The longitudinally installed engine transmitted its 85 kW / 115 PS via a central differential lock in a ratio of 50:50 to the four permanently driven wheels. The centre and rear axle differential could each be manually locked to optimise traction in particularly difficult grip conditions. The new 4x4 model was very popular right from the start – especially among drivers who wanted to drive safely in wintry conditions or who needed a practical towing vehicle for a horse box or boat trailer. Further engine versions with 66 kW / 90 PS and 88 kW / 120 PS were soon added to the range.

Volkswagen 1988 Viscous coupling replaces the rigid rear axle connection With the debut of the third Passat Generation (B3), in 1988 the syncro drive in this series also took the next step: the switch to transversally installed engines enabled the use of viscous coupling, as already used in the Golf Mk2. Here, the centre differential was replaced by a cylinder filled with silicone oil. It controlled the power transmission to the rear wheels without a rigid connection between the propshaft and the gearbox – in the event of speed differences the high-viscosity i.e. thick fluid transmitted the power. The advantage of this was that the system was ABS-compatible and offered better fuel efficiency as the rear axle was only engaged if needed. The modern 4x4 drive was available as an option for the 85 kW / 115 PS Passat, and it was even a standard feature for the sporty Passat GT G60 with a mechanical ‘G-Lader’ supercharger and 118 kW / 160 PS. Passat Variant B3 Media Information Note: You will find much more information on winter themes in the Volkswagen database at: www.volkswagen-media-services.com. Volkswagen Passat Variant (B5) 4MOTION 1996 4MOTION with Torsen differential takes over Passat Variant (B5) 4MOTION Since the introduction of the fifth Passat generation (B5) in 1996 the versions with all-wheel drive have sported the additional designation 4MOTION. The engine was once again fitted longitudinally, but now a centre Torsen differential distributed the power between the front and the rear axle. This was normally done in a ratio of 50:50, but 75:25 could also be achieved in favour of the side rotating more slowly. The rear axle locking differential served solely to aid traction: it could be manually activated with a switch and was automatically deactivated at speeds above 25 km/h. The 4MOTION system was a standard feature for the 142 kW / 193 PS Passat 2.8 V6 and the Passat W8 with a 202 kW / 275 PS eight-cylinder engine that is already sought after as a young classic car. It was optionally available for some Passat Variant (B5) 4MOTION diesel variants. Media Information Note: You will find much more information on winter themes in the Volkswagen database at: www.volkswagen-media-services.com. Volkswagen 2005 Fully variable multiplate clutch replaces Torsen 4MOTION drive reached the next development stage in the Passat B6 generation: ever since then it has featured a wet-running multiplate clutch in conjunction with transverse engines. It works in a similar way to viscous coupling, but thanks to electronic control it has an extremely fast response and can also transmit higher torque. Normally 100 per cent of the engine power is transmitted to the front wheels. But if needed up to 100 per cent of the drive power is directed to the rear wheels in a split second. The focus is on maximum driving safety coupled with minimum fuel consumption. Passat Variant (B6) 4MOTION Passat Variant (B6) 4MOTION Passat Variant (B6) 4MOTION Media Information Note: You will find much more information on winter themes in the Volkswagen database at: www.volkswagen-media-services.com. Volkswagen 2018 Electronically controlled 4MOTION system as state of the art The current Passat features permanent 4MOTION all-wheel drive with an electronically controlled multiplate clutch in the fifth generation. Its special feature is that the distribution of traction to all four wheels is already active before slip occurs. This almost entirely eliminates any loss of traction. The all-wheel drive system normally directs the drive torque to the front axle. If necessary, the rear wheels are engaged in a fraction of a second. While the multiplate clutch acts as a longitudinal lock, the electronic differential locks (four-wheel EDS) act as transverse locks for all four wheels. If a wheel starts to spin, they ensure that drive power is directed to the wheel on the opposite side, also within fractions of a second. Passat Alltrack The Passat Alltrack with a rugged off-road look has a 4MOTION system offering even higher performance with the additional XDS+ function on the front and rear axle. During fast cornering it brakes the wheels on the inside of the bend and optimises the steering behaviour with a more precise steering angle, further improves traction, increases agility and enables a higher speed when accelerating out of bends. In technical terms, XDS+ is a functional extension of the electronic differential locks.

Volkswagen The new Tiguan Allspace The new T-Roc 4x4 The all-wheel drive success story continues Model variants with all-wheel drive have long since been available for most Volkswagen product lines. In addition to the Passat, Passat Variant and Passat Alltrack, 4MOTION all-wheel drive can be found on board the Golf, Golf Variant, Golf Alltrack, Sharan, Arteon and the SUV series T-Roc, Tiguan and Touareg (the latter with a different technical configuration). Even though 4MOTION improves safety and performance in all weather Arteon, Passat Alltrack, Tiguan, Golf Alltrack (from left to right) conditions, in these months a particularly large number of Volkswagen 4MOTION models can be found where the winter can best be enjoyed: in ski resorts around the globe.

People of the Beetle Generation sit up and take notice when they hear it today. They are strangely touched, experience melancholy, as though remembering something long since lost. It is a sound as unmistakable as the Beetle's silhouette: it buzzes, it putters - all against a background of soothing fan noises – a feeling of euphoria which has underscored our mobility for decades and which was the accompaniment for our independence and for growing prosperity during those years. Beginning in the late 1940's and continuing into the early 1980's, the unmistakable noise of the Beetle left its mark on the sound backdrop of German streets. And in other places, as well, the air-cooled Beetle Boxer was the lead instrument in the noisy traffic concert. This is why Volkswagen advertising from the Doyle Dane Bernbach (DDB) agency at the end of the 1960's, advertising that is already legendary today, was titled „What the world loves about Germany"; it included a colorfully mixed collection of pictures: Heidelberg, a cuckoo clock, sauerkraut with dumplings, Goethe, a dachshund, the Lorelei – and a Beetle.

  • Can You Guess the Volkswagen?
    When you think of VWs, do you think of the Rometsch, Hebmuller or Tempo Truck? Or are you more likely to think of Beetles and Buses? The lesser-known VWs have made a mark on the automotive world just like their more popular siblings. And like any vehicle, they had certain characteristics that were solely their own, or sometimes revised as the years went on. Mid America Motorworks takes a look at the VWs that have been making a quiet mark on the hobby. Volkswagen Type 4 The Volkswagen Type 4 is a mid-sized car manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen of Germany from 1968 to 1974 in two-door and four-door sedan as well as two-door station wagon body styles. The Type 4 evolved through two generations, the 411 (1968–72) and 412 series (1972–74). Over its six year production run, Volkswagen manufactured 367,728 Type 4 models, compared with 210,082 of the subsequent Volkswagen K70 with its four year model life. In the United States, VW sold 117,110 Type 4s from 1971 to July 1974. 411 Type 4 1968 – 1972 • 1969 411 4 Door sedan • The engine was aluminum based, more robust than the magnesium based Bug engine and went on to power the VW Bus until 1982. • 411s were 1700cc and 412s 1800cc. • All models had Macpherson strut front suspension. 1968-1969 they had carbs in the US, followed by fuel injection in later years.
