IN JULY 2017, Volkswagen gave its Golf range a mid-life update with some light visual tweaks, specification upgrades, new technology and some increases in price.
The most expensive non-performance model in the Golf range is the soft-roading Alltrack wagon, in top-spec 135TDI Premium guise.
On paper, the Alltrack seems like a jack-of-all-trades – generous interior space, relatively compact exterior dimensions, all-wheel drive and a German interior – making for a compelling package.
Unfortunately, VW has just dropped all diesel versions of the Golf in Australian due to issues around testing for the new Worldwide harmonised Light vehicle Test Procedure (WLPT), meaning there are not too many left in stock. We sampled the oil-burning Alltrack a few months back to see how it stacks up against its crossover rivals.
