Sitting behind the engine is a six-speed manual transmission for total control. Or, the available six-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission is smooth and responsive at highway speeds. 

2. An adventure-ready cargo space 

Whether you’ve got the whole crew or need the space to haul large items, the 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack delivers impressive cargo space. For example, there’s just over 30 cu-ft of cargo space behind the second-row seats of the 2017 Golf Alltrack.

3. Some off-road capability 

Take on the roads less traveled in the 2017 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, thanks to some of its standard offroad capabilities.
