VW adds 4MOTION AWD to Mark VI Golf



The Mark VI Volkswagen Golf is now available with the Wolfburg company's 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system, which has been added to the lineup as an option on the 2.0L TDI model. While usually the 4MOTION system is found in performance oriented models such as the Golf R32 and Golf GTI, adding the AWD system to the turbodiesel hatch makes the car more suitable for those customers who require more grip in adverse conditions, such as ice, rain or snow, as well as economical motoring. Unfortunately, the 4MOTION model won't be offered with other engine combinations in the Golf range for now (except for the aforementioned performance variants), as the demand doesn't justify the expenditure that VW would have to make in this regard. The 4MOTION system will once again be using VW's Haldex transmission unit, which is able to split the engine power between the front and rear axles depending on where it is needed to keep the car stable.
