Import Tag

The Syncro model introduced four-wheel drive (4WD) to the Golf platform in 1986. Developed in collaboration with the Austrian manufacturing giant Steyr-Daimler-Puch (a company whose off-road credentials include 6×6 military vehicles and the original G-Wagen), the 4WD version of the Golf would eventually lead to a high-performance Rallye, as well as the other unique variant, the Country.

To build the Country, Volkswagen turned to Steyr-Daimler-Puch, where Syncro-equipped Golfs were sent from the Wolfsburg factory to have their Country-specific fittings. There, the Golfs were toughened up for all-terrain with skid plates, subframes, brush guards for the front end, an externally mounted, swing-down spare wheel carrier over the rear hatch, robust plastic fender flares and body molding all around, as well as a rather dramatically increased ride height with long-travel suspension.
