5 reasons to buy the 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack
1. Take the road less traveled
Equipped with some of the features often found on enthusiast off-road vehicles, the 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack lets you take life head-on. That’s because the 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack sits higher than the standard Golf, so you have 6.7 inches of ground clearance. Plus, underbody shielding, standard AWD, and hill descent control deliver improved off-road capability.
2. Well-equipped standard trim
From tech to convenience, there’s a solid list of standard features in the 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. You can enjoy music through the Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® smartphone integration and six-speaker sound system. Or, relax with standard convenience features like heated front seats, automatic wipers, and a rearview camera.
3. A capable turbocharged engine
Keep up with the crowd and climb over the next obstacle thanks to the turbocharged 1.8L four-cylinder engine that powers the 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. That’s because the turbocharged engine makes 168 horsepower, which lets it perform around-town commuting and highway driving adequately. When you pair the 1.8L engine with a six-speed manual transmission, you can expect EPA-estimated 30 mpg highway and 22 mpg city from the 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack.
4. Adaptable cargo space
Flexing to fit the challenges of everyday life, the 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack can pack an impressive amount of cargo. For example, 30.4 cu-ft of space in the trunk is more than enough for large luggage and medium-sized items. But, if you need extra space, the 60/40 split-folding rear seats lay flat to open up to 66.5 cu-ft of total cargo volume.
5. Standard driver assists
The 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack enjoys a good list of passive driver aids that lend a helping hand. For instance, forward collision mitigation, parking assist, lane-departure warning, and blind spot monitoring are in every 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack model. However, you’ll need to find the SEL trim to add adaptive cruise control.
