VW Debuts U.S. Production Version of 2017 Golf Alltrack

Apr 22, 2016

Off-road enthusiasts and fans of the Volkswagen Golf SportWagen alike can eagerly anticipate the 2017 Golf Alltrack. While the 2017 VW Golf Alltrack shares many features with the SportWagen, including the 1.8L TSI® gas engine capable of reaching 170 HP and 199 lb.-ft. of torque, it adds extra ground clearance and AWD for better all-terrain handling.

During on-road driving, the 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack acts like a front-wheel drive car to maximize fuel economy. Thanks to 4MOTION® all-wheel drive, the 2017 Alltrack can shift half of its torque to the rear wheels when it detects slippage. The advanced powertrain system also brakes any wheels that slip and sends power to the opposite side. Drivers in and around Fayetteville, NC get the best of both worlds: the fuel efficiency of FWD with the terrain handling and stability of AWD.

What other features make the 2017 Volkswagen Golf prime for off-road adventures? A special “Off-Road Mode” on the Drive Mode selector adds hill descent control and traction control, while a special Off-Road HMI display shows altitude, steering angle, and a compass. An extra inch of ground clearance puts the 2017 Golf Alltrack in a better position to tackle tough terrain.

The 2017 VW Golf Alltrack wagon also includes many safety systems, tech features, and a comfortable, spacious cabin, and will go on sale in the fall of 2016.
