What is the difference between the VW Golf Alltrack and the VW Golf Sportwagen?

March 2nd, 2017 by

Volkswagen offers drivers a variety of options throughout its lineup. It has sleek and efficient sedans, spacious and flexible SUVs and then its wide range of hatchback and wagon style models. Two of these models, the Golf Alltrack and Golf Sportwagen, seem fairly similar but serve the purposes of different lifestyles through each models’ available features.

The main difference between the 2017 Alltrack and the 2017 Sportwagen is the sportier performance of the Alltrack in comparison to Sportwagen. The 2017 Alltrack features Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel drive system as a standard feature and with that system comes an off-road mode intended to enhance the model’s performance.
