The New Golf Alltrack Has Us Talking

This is a car that’s built on the compact platform of the Golf while offering us the look and build of a wagon with the ground clearance of an SUV.

This vehicle can’t really be categorized as just one thing and different organizations want to put it in the wagon class, or the compact car class, or the compact SUV class and none of the quite fit what the Alltrack is or what it has to offer us on the road.

This little vehicle is powered by a small 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that’s attached to a six-speed dual clutch automatic transmission. This setup brings you 170 horsepower and 199 lb.-ft. of torque, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but remember this car is built on the Golf platform. This powertrain is also able to return fuel mileage of 22 city/30 hwy to ensure you’ll have the fuel number you want to have in a car that’s made to be the perfect ride for you to enjoy wherever you go.

Those of you who are naysayers might look at the Alltrack and say “it’s a SportWagen, that’s been done before” and you would only be partially correct.
