The updated 2017 Golf Alltrack has been detailed
this week alongside the regular hatch and wagon range, ahead of its local
arrival in early July. The rugged Alltrack wagon range expands from a solo
offering to a three-strong range, including a new entry-level petrol model and
a new flagship turbo-diesel variant.
Price of entry is also significantly lower, now
kicking off at AUD 34,490 for the base Alltrack 132TSI, powered by a 1.8-litre
turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine pumping out 180 Hp of power and 280 Nm
of torque. Drive is sent to all four wheels through a six-speed DSG dual-clutch
transmission.
Standard kit in the entry-level Alltrack includes
‘Summits Cloth’ interior trim, dual-zone climate control with Air Care
filtration, keyless entry and start, leather multifunction steering wheel,
selectable driving modes with an off-road setting, and an 8.0-inch ‘Composition
Media’ infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
There’s also LED interior ambient lighting,
rear-view camera, 17-inch ‘Valley’ alloy wheels, automatic headlights and
wipers, an automatically-dimming rear-view mirror, front and rear parking
sensors, front fog-lights, along with LED tail-lights and daytime-driving
lights. Like the regular Golf hatch and wagon range, all Alltrack models come
equipped with autonomous emergency braking (AEB), seven airbags, and a
multi-collision brake system.
The Alltrack Premium 132TSI starts at AUD 38,490,
just AUD 150 more than the previous standalone Alltrack model, and adds
niceties like ‘Comfort Sport’ front seats, Vienna leather upholstery, heated
front seats, an upgraded 8.0-inch ‘Discover Media’ infotainment system with
satellite navigation, LED headlights with dynamic cornering lights, a colour
multifunction driver’s display (the base model has a monochrome unit), and
carpet floor mats.
Also available is the Alltrack Premium 135TDI (AUD 40,990),
which mirrors the specification of the petrol-powered variant with the
exception of swapping in a 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine with 184 Hp of power
and 380 Nm of torque. The oiler is also mated to a new wet-clutch seven speed
DSG. Three option packs are also available depending on grade; the Driver
Assistance Package (AUD 1800), Sport Luxury Package (AUD 2900) and the
Infotainment Package (AUD 2300).
Available on all variants, the Driver Assistance
pack adds the 12.3-inch Active Info Display digital instrument cluster with
special off-road configurations, adaptive cruise control, lane assist, park
assist, and proactive occupant protection system. The Sports Luxury pack is
only offered with Alltrack Premium models, and includes larger 18-inch
‘Kalamata’ alloy wheels, steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, panoramic electric
glass sunroof, electrically-adjustable driver’s seat with memory function and
power lumbar support, power folding exterior mirrors with memory, and rear
privacy glass that absorbs 65 per cent of light.
Finally, Alltrack Premium variants can be optioned
with the Infotainment package, which also adds the 12.3-inch Active Info
driver’s display, 9.2-inch ‘Discover Pro’ satellite navigation system with
gesture and voice control, along with the Dynaudio Excite 400W premium audio
system with 10-channel amplifier and subwoofer.
Owners who wish to option both the Infotainment and
Driver Assistance packages can combine the two for AUD 3400. The updated Golf
Alltrack range is available to order now, with first deliveries expected at the
beginning of July.
