Volkswagen Golf SportWagen is being coined a concept for the 2014 New York Auto Show appearance next week. The model shown here is the 2.0L TDI diesel coupled with VW’s 4Motion all wheel drive system. This setup has been around for years in European and other markets, but an all wheel drive Golf or Jetta have not graced our shores. Is this concept a tease or a sign of things to come?
This is a replacement for the existing Jetta SportWagen for the United States. Volkswagen says that this wagon will go on sale in the first quarter of the 2015 and will be offered with a 1.8L turbo or the 2.0L TDI turbo-diesel. No mention of the all wheel drive system yet. VW expects the efficiency to be up by around 17%, and the new wagon more usable interior space than the car it replaces.
What you see in these images is plainly the European spec SportWagen. Volkswagen will gauge public’s reaction to the TDI 4Motion concept at the show.
