2017 VOLKSWAGEN Golf VII Alltrack 1.8L TSI 4MOTION 6AT AWD (180 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Practical and affordable – a wagon with a SUV’s abilities. The recipe is simple, a passenger wagon with a changed suspension and AWD. For 2017, the Volkswagen Golf VII Alltrack didn’t suffer major changes. Styling wise, the compact wagon remained almost the same. It gained LED lighting though, along with more advanced driving assistance systems. The trim levels were also reshuffled while the powertrains got improved to offer more efficiency.

The standard equipment includes LED headlights with cornering function, dual-zone climate control, keyless access, 17-inch alloy wheels, front & rear parking sensors, auto headlights and rain-sensing wipers. All seats are covered in leather and the front ones are heated.

The Alltrack is equipped with the Car-Net Security & Service, which offers remote vehicle access – door lock/unlock, Stolen Vehicle Location Assistance, last parked location information, etc.

When it comes to safety, the car was given a 5-star safety rating from the NHTSA due to the systems available: Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, VW Intelligent Crash Response System – this system ensures that the passengers are at low risk after an incident (it shuts off the fuel pump, unlocks the doors and switches on the hazard lights), ESC, Driver Assistance Package with Adaptive Cruise Control and others. Just like the regular Golf, the Alltrack offers a 3-year or 100.000km warranty. All said, if you want a car that will do just well on the beaten road, but on muddy fields as well, this one might just be a good idea.
