The 2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack is a station wagon that aims to offer everything you’d expect from a compact SUV, but in a smaller package. The 2019 model adds various safety features and the option to go with a manual transmission. The fact that many optional features on other cars come standard in the Golf Alltrack is another big plus that should raise your interest.
What to Expect From the SE
The Golf Alltrack comes in the S, SE, and SEL trims. The SE is the trim that consumers often go to. The reason why is because it offers a better infotainment system, additional driver assistance features, and 18-inch wheels. The SE feels more like a fully equipped car while the SEL adds a few premium features that only a few consumers would go with.
2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack -The Engine That Delivers on Your Needs
The Golf Alltrack SE is powered by a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 168 horsepower. While it doesn’t seem like much, the acceleration is more punchy than you’d expect. You also get the six-speed manual transmission which can be switched to an automatic transmission if you’d like.
The car performs very well, offering great steering and handling. It also has responsive brakes, making the Golf Alltrack feel more like a crossover. While its low stature means it doesn’t excel in off-road conditions, it still does well due to the standard all wheel drive.
2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack -Above Average in Comfort, Space and Utility
On top of the solid driving performance, you get a very strong interior. Both the front and rear seats are comfortable and roomy. The climate control does a great job in keeping the cabin cool. The ride of the car is also smooth, muting even the patchier conditions you’d face off-road.
There are enough small storage spaces, but it could use some more. Where the Golf Alltrack SE really shines is the amount of cargo space it offers. You get 30.4 cubic feet of space which extends to 66.5 when the rear seats are folded down.
2019 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack -Above Average Tech Features
With some of the other Volkswagen models, you simply get an average technology package. The Alltrack is different in that it is packed with some amazing features. The list includes heated side mirrors, roof rails, rear cameras, and front seat heating which are all standard. And since we’re talking about the SE, you get the panoramic sunroof, a 8-inch touchscreen, adaptive LED lights, parking sensors, lane assist, and even automatic parking.
An Exceptional Crossover from Volkswagen
While it’s not a full crossover experience, the Golf Alltrack SE is exceptional because of its great drive, comfort, utility, tech features, and off-road capabilities. If you want the functions of a crossover SUV in sedan form, this is one of the best models to go with. The decent 6-year/72,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty and the 25.5 combined mpg also make it a great value.
