Volkswagen's high-riding Passat Alltrack makes its local debut this week, ahead of its market launch next month.

Priced from $47,790 and available in one high-featured grade, the Passat Alltrack will be pitched against the likes of the Subaru Outback 2.0D premium and Volvo XC70.

Based upon the Passat 125TDI wagon, the AllTrack gets a boost in ride height from 135mm to 165mm, extra body-cladding on the wheelarches, side skirts and on the lower portion of the bumpers.

Only one powertrain will be offered, Volkswagen's familiar 125kW and 350Nm turbodiesel inline four. Fuel consumption is listed at 6.3 l/100km.

Backed up by a six-speed DSG twin-clutch transmission, power is taken to all four wheels via VW's 4Motion AWD system.

As it does with the Tiguan SUV, the on-demand 4Motion system sends most of the engine's power to the front wheels under normal use, but, when needed, it can direct every drop to the rear.

Hill descent assist helps keep the Alltrack under control when rolling down slippery slopes, and the raised ride height improves approach and departure angles to 16 and 13.6 degrees respectively.

In Off-Road mode, the 4Motion system offers Hill Descent Assist at speeds up to 30km/h, along with enhanced opertion of the ABS and electronic differential locks.
