Can you identify this model VW?
 

Was in front of me last night. Nice looking little wagon!

I didn't see any insignia - anyone have an idea what model and year it is?

I don't know my VW's very well, so appreciate any help.

Sorry the pic isn't better......thanks!

Passat wagon, 2010ish.

That was fast...thanks, Patrick.

Based on Internet pics.....maybe a later model - like a 2013-14.

What's the skinny on these?

Pretty dependable?

It was fast but it was also wrong. It’s a Tiguan, present generation.

FWIW, there was no Passat wagon in 2010 or years close to 2010.

When I saw the thread title I thought of the SP2.

Seems too wagony to be a Tiguan. Maybe a Golf Alltrack?

We had two 2013 Tiguan. I’m going to say no to the Tiguan. Too low and wide.

I was thinking current gen Tiguan but I’m off by a couple details. It’s close. I’m going to say Golf sportwagen, 2014-16 or so. VW did not import B7 Passat wagons to the USA, AFAIK, just sedans. :)

New Tiguan:

2019 Golf Alltrack (per Steve's suggestion):

2013 Passat (per Patrick's suggestion):

I'm leaning towards the Passat, myself. Look at the tailpipe configurations.

OTOH.....

How about the 2015 Jetta Sportwagon......

A buddy of mine is a VW expert and he says Golf Sportwagon for sure.

^^^^^^ correct.

I just today picked up my new to me 2013 Jetta sportwagen tdi.
Nice wagon, drives well and goes interstate speeds comfortably.
Sipping fuel.
It's retuned by VW and has an extended warranty, first car Ive ever had with one.


It's a small vehicle but roomy inside.
I'm allready thinking about a tent that mounts off the back of the wagon.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1595041199.jpg
Sorry don't have the rear view.

This sort of tent would make car camping more comfortable.

Mine has roof racks for a kayak/surfboard, but not as big as those in your pic Baz.
And a trailer hitch mounted, I'm thinking bike rack in the receiver.

Cheers Richard

Yes there was. We had one. They made them 07-10 iirc.
Ours was the 3.6 with a VR6. I blew it up on the way to the hospital. Problem on those engines with the cam bolts.
Lights are too modern - those things are 2018 or so and on.

OK thanks, guys - really appreciate it! SmileWavy


Congrats, Rich! That's really crazy about the timing of my post and your purchase today. What are the odds, huh?

Please feel free to add more info about your car either in this or another thread - either way works for me. More pics, especially. ;)

I've always liked wagons myself but am particular about their looks.

More than anything I miss the two Volvo 145's I had and would love to own another one day - but they are hard to find - so I always keep my eyes open for other more newer (hence more available) brands/models. I love the VW brand so this one I saw last night really caught my eye because of the brand and the looks of it.

I think it's quite sporty and has nice lines!

I'm assuming yours is a manual transmission?

Like the tent idea too. Please keep us posted and again - congrats! SmileWavy

Looks an awful lot like my wife's 2017 Golf, non-Alltrack, AWD Sportwagen in silk blue metallic. it's a fantastic little car, with an entertaining turbo motor and paddle shifters (she wouldn't do a manual). In October, we'll be buying it out of lease.

It's weird that VW thought jacking the car up a couple inches and putting dopey cladding on it and calling it an Alltrack would make it more appealing.

Wow... Rather handsome.

Original and different. I really like this.

Thanks Baz, I am stoked on my new handsome wagon. Seems like a lot of Vdub thinking around here these days. Both me and Dafischer getting one this week.

My sportwagen has a good service history and drives well. And was pretty affordable for what it is and with the extended warranty.

I just updated my thread posted earlier, when I was considering the purchase and received a lot of helpful input here! Thanks again Pelicans.

Wow I had never heard of or seen this sp2, what a cool looking Vdub , thanks for posting that Shaun.

Subaru did exactly that to their Legacy wagon and called it an Outback, has been selling tens of thousands of them for years. VW tried the same thing but marketed it poorly (Subaru happens to be firmly entrenched in the niche).

I bought an Alltrack because I wanted sedan like handling but with some extra ground clearance and a manual transmission (and I didn't want a SportWagen or a Subaru). I live on a hill and the city doesn't plow our street, the extra ground clearance is a plus.

Everybody's tastes are different - I prefer the Alltrack over the SportWagen.

They just put tiguan springs on it... LOL!

Late yesterday when I got home with the new to me sportwagen, I invited my brother to go for a drive with me. Boy did he grunt and moan getting himself down into the seat.
He is used to climbing up into his Ford F-250. And surburbans before that. Taller cars do have their appeal for some.

Cheers Richard

Now here is a couple of cool wagons. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1595097618.jpg

1972 - my first Vega......

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1595104782.jpg

Rhyme with Dégat...

First one?

The red and tan 4 door wagon looks to me like a Chevy nova.

That vega is cool !!

Cheers Richard

Yes....second one was a coupe with a vinyl top!

Both Vegas lasted through my 5 years in college.

Then I got the '70 Volvo 145S after starting my first job out of college.

Can't find a pic of the coupe just now but here's another of the wagon and the Volvo.....

Then this morning behind this.....:p

Me too. And I’d still like to find one. Those have to be the most unusual looking VW we got.
