Volkswagen of America, Inc. unveiled the U.S. version of the All-Wheel-Drive Golf Alltrack, which is based on the Golf Sportwagen. This car has experienced widespread success due to its ability to appeal to people who want the luxury of an SUV but the sportiness of a car.

The Golf Alltrack shares the Golf SportWagen’s 1.8-L Four-Cylinder TSI® Engine and Six-Speed DSG® Automatic Transmission. But what really sets it apart is the 4MOTION® All-Wheel-Drive system. It’s also received additional upgrades such as unique bumpers, wheel wells and side sills which offer off-road protection and a front fascia that includes foglights and a honeycomb grille, all of which add to the Golf Alltrack’s overall more rugged appearance. Additional features include new leatherette seating surfaces, rearview camera, and VW Car-Net® App-Connect. It also offers a “Off-Road Mode” selection that optimizes traction and control during off-road adventures.

“We heard from dealers and customers that they wanted to see a Golf SportWagen with the all-terrain capability that comes from an all-wheel drive system,” said Joerg Sommer, Vice President, Product Marketing and Strategy of Volkswagen of America, Inc. “We are excited to introduce the Golf Alltrack to meet the active lifestyle needs of our customers.”

The 2017 Golf Alltrack will go on sale during the Fall as a 2017 model.
