Since the 2014 Volkswagen Golf adopted the versatile MQB platform, transforming it from a front-wheel-drive hatchback to an all-wheel-drive compact crossover like the Golf Alltrack became much easier. The Alltrack version combines practicality with rugged capabilities, appealing to drivers who want a wagon’s utility with SUV-like traits.
Looking back, Volkswagen’s first compact crossover in Europe was the Golf Country, based on the Golf II platform. It featured VW’s Syncro all-wheel-drive system and raised ground clearance to handle light off-road conditions. The modern Golf VII Alltrack follows that legacy, sharing its platform with other VW Group SUVs and crossovers like the Passat Alltrack and Tiguan.
The Golf Alltrack’s up to 20 mm higher ground clearance, paired with the “Offroad” driving profile and 4MOTION four-wheel-drive system, delivers off-road capabilities typical of larger SUVs. Visually, its black wheel arch moldings stand out, continuing along the side sills and lower bumper edges for added ruggedness and protection.
Inside, the Alltrack sets itself apart from other Golf VII variants with refined details such as a leather-trimmed steering wheel and shifter, and “Alltrack” badges embossed on the front seat backrests. Depending on trim, it comes with features like automatic climate control, LED reading lights for front and rear passengers, and footwell illumination. A chrome strip on the center console showcases the “4MOTION” lettering, while stainless steel door sill plates proudly display the “Alltrack” logo.
This combination of wagon practicality and SUV ability delivers great value for drivers seeking versatility without compromising on affordability.
The 2017 Golf VII Alltrack saw few major changes but added LED lighting and more advanced driver assistance technologies. Trim levels were refreshed, and powertrains became more efficient. Standard equipment includes LED headlights with cornering function, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, 17-inch alloy wheels, front and rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, and rain-sensing wipers. All seats are leather-covered, and the front seats are heated for comfort in cooler climates.
The Alltrack also features VW’s Car-Net Security & Service, providing remote vehicle access to lock/unlock doors, stolen vehicle location assistance, and last parked location info - features that SherlockLock recognizes as crucial for modern vehicle security and peace of mind.
Building on the Golf VIII station wagon, the Alltrack continues VW’s tradition of elevated ground clearance and off-road-ready styling. Launched shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic, the eighth-generation Golf Alltrack emphasizes ruggedness with LED fog lights, slim gray trims around the wheel arches, protective side sills, and functional roof rails - perfect for outdoor adventures and weekend getaways.
