We totally understand. That\u2019s why we\u2019re so excited for Volkswagen\u2019s newest wagon: The 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack.<\/p>\n<p>The Alltrack is expected to debut at the 2016 New York Auto Show this week, and go on sale in the United States next fall. A price for the Alltrack has yet to be released, but we\u2019re guessing it won\u2019t stray too far from the Golf Sportwagen, which starts at $22,445.<\/p>\n<p>The 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack will come with one engine option, the 1.8L turbocharged 4-cylinder, which produces 170 horsepower and 199lb-ft of torque. At its launch, the Alltrack will roll onto dealerships with an automatic dual-clutch transmission only, but before long we\u2019ll see a six-speed manual joins the ranks. Score!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#BLOGPATH#\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2017-Volkswagen-Golf-Alltrack-106-876x535.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2101\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2101\" src=\"#BLOGPATH#\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2017-Volkswagen-Golf-Alltrack-106-876x535.jpg\" alt=\"2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack\" width=\"876\" height=\"535\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Official fuel-economy ratings haven\u2019t been released for the Alltrack, but we\u2019re guessing it\u2019s going to land somewhere north of 30mpg combined.<\/p>\n<p>One of the Alltrack\u2019s most exciting features is its real-time all-wheel drive. This type of system doesn\u2019t kick in unless it detects slippage, in which case it can transfer up to 50 percent of its power to the back wheels. But under normal circumstances, the Alltrack is a front-wheel drive wagon.<\/p>\n<p>This provides the best of both worlds. You\u2019ll save gas by powering just the front wheels, <em>and<\/em> you can count on your 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack to keep you out of the mud.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#BLOGPATH#\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2017-Volkswagen-Golf-Alltrack-101-876x535-1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2100\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2100\" src=\"#BLOGPATH#\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2017-Volkswagen-Golf-Alltrack-101-876x535-1.jpg\" alt=\"2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack\" width=\"876\" height=\"535\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also equipped with hill-descent control, off-road traction control, and an off-road driving mode. We\u2019re guessing the Alltrack will come with a towing option too, which should be capable of pulling reasonable loads with 199lb-ft of torque.<\/p>\n<p>The 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is an AWD wagon built to get you and everything you need from A to B with ease.
