That's not an Alltrack. it says it already "VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 125TDI DSG HIGHLINE"! Highline is the name given for standard wagon. Photos are for illustrative purposes only, the dealer will tell you.

As for the spare, is it a temp, or a full size steel wheel, as per a number fo other VAG products (including my Scout)?

The brochure says "speed rated", I assume it implies temporary spare with speed limitation.

Yeah, saw that when I downloaded. "Speed limitation" could also mean that the it's just that the tyre (most likely a steel 16") is U or V speed rating rather than W (or whatever). My Scout has a steel 16" spare wheel with a standard tyre, that I assume has a lower speed rating than the 17" on my alloys.

According to the brochure (which is downloadable) It is a steel wheel with a 215 width tyre against the wider tyres on the car so will probably be a narrower rim with a lower speed rating

The one in the link appears to have an Alltrack pictured but the specs are for a Highline.

2 things are different in the Alltrack steel spare and no lock nuts on wheels (according to the brochure)

Also doesnt mention it being 4 Motion

Yeah, I wasn't too sure what it really means. But compare to the standard Passat brochure, it simply use the term "Fully size spare on alloy". So if Alltrack has full size, why can't it simply say "Full size on steel"?

Probably as I said above it has a narrower tyre so may also have a narrower rim (seems logical ) and may be just a new name for a spacesaver..

Someone will doubtless look when they buy one and let us know

The alltrack has a full sized spare.

Pricing states $52K drive-away (in Vic). If that's for the base model, I wonder just what they add to drive-away costs??? $5K for rego and "dealer delivery"?!

Isn't it a 215 though, as opposed to the normal 225s? At least it's not one of those ridiculous dinky toy wheels.

probably about 700 rego, 2995 "dealer delivery" aka car wash and drive to to the delivery bay. stamp duty.
