What is a rugged hatchback? This is a crossover, right?
The not-for-America Volkswagen Golf Variant and Golf Alltrack made an online debut last week with more cargo space, new technologies and more features. The compact wagon that is loved by Europe is set to go on sale in the near future, but independent artists have already created their own versions. You can.
After you have seen the new Alltrack as a small truck Today, it’s time for you to envision what an Alltrack hatchback might look like. This isn’t fiction, it’s fact. Golf It was available in a rugged hatchback version when the second-generation model went on sale. This serves as inspiration for the project.
The Golf Country was a modified Golf 2 with a 8.3 inch (21 cm) wider suspension and an all-wheel drive system. Additional upgrades included an engine protection plate, a subframe to protect the rear Syncro diff and a boot lid-mounted spare tire. It was a small off-roader capable of handling a 1.8-liter engine.
This rendering is based on a similar design and gives the standard Golf 8 hatchback the aesthetic upgrades of the Alltrack. The new front bumper, side skirts and gentle plastic body cladding provide protection. If we had to guess, the engine would be a 2.0-liter diesel, mated with a dual-clutch auto under the hood, which sends power to all four wheels.
Steyr-Daimler-Puch was the Austrian manufacturer of the original Golf Country. Only 7,735 cars were produced. The current portfolio of Volkswagen shows that the brand has ( more crossovers than) enough vehicles for sale all over the world. We don’t see a need for a small, rugged hatch to make a business case.
