- The big, permanent all-wheel drive machine is Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle’s attempt to muscle in on the robust pick-up and off-road market.
- The engine is a torque-y 2-litre bi-turbo number that not only provides an impressive amount of shove for the odd impromptu overtaking manoeuvre but also offers a massive 400Nm of pulling power.
- Three basic trim levels are one offer: Austin, Trendline and Highline, with each lavishing the optional extras accordingly.
- Volkswagen is adept at creating commercial vehicles that drive and feel like much smaller, more nimble machines.
- Our test model was a ‘Limited’ model that, true to its name, has been limited to just 300 units in the UK and came decked out with flashy livery, mammoth 18-inch alloy wheels and a few interior gadgets.
- The rear payload could do with being larger and, if it were our car, we’d probably splash out on a slightly more attractive interior, as basic models can look a bit drab.
