Usually, the ability to haul copious amounts of cargo comes with sacrificing being able to haul posterior when you’re in a more playful mood. At least, that’s how it is in most crossovers. Then, there’s the 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack--a lifted wagon with standard all-wheel drive that combines function with fun, and quite a bit of capability in between.
Utility-wise, the Golf Alltrack sits at 6.9 inches of ride height compared to the Sportwagen’s 5.5, and features 30 cu-ft of cargo space behind the back seats. Fold those down, and you get 66 cu-ft—competitive when compared to most crossovers. The Golf Alltrack also comes with a variety of tech and safety features like Car-Net smartphone connectivity, available blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking. But when it comes to fun, the agility, composition, and zest of the Golf Alltrack cannot be quibbled with—especially considering its 199 lb-ft of torque kicks in at just 1,600 rpm.
If your adventures take you on road or off, there’s plenty of fun to be had in a Golf Alltrack. Experience this marriage of extremes by scheduling to take one for a test drive at our Volkswagen dealership in Milwaukee, WI.
