2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack vs SportWagen
When it comes to practical interior space and a unique look, a wagon is a great option for drivers. This vehicle body style has a boxy rear cargo area, without the height of an SUV. Depending on your driving needs, one of these wagon-style Volkswagen models, the Alltrack or the Sportwagen, may be exactly what you are looking for. In this 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack vs Sportwagen comparison, we are going to examine the differences between these models.
The Volkswagen Golf Alltrack was based on the Golf Sportwagen, which gives it similar engine output, interior space and styling. However, drivers looking for a little more go-anywhere attitude will enjoy the standard all-wheel drive, higher ground clearance, and unique styling of the 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack. On the other hand, the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen offered better fuel economy in 2017. Either of these models can seat five passengers and offer up to 66.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats down.
Golf Alltrack and Sportwagen Performance and Features
Both the models in this 2018 Volkswagen Golf Alltrack vs Sportwagen comparison offer a spacious interior and come exclusively with a 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We don’t have solid information at this time for the 2018 model year, but we believe it will be roughly the same as 2017. In that year, this engine produced 170 horsepower in either model, but the Volkswagen Golf Alltrack offered more torque. However, commuters looking for the most economical driving option may want to opt for the Sportwagen, as models of that Golf vehicle with two-wheel drive offered significantly better mileage than any trim of the Alltrack.
The 2018 Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen will be less expensive than the Alltrack, but the 2018 VW Golf Alltrack will also come standard with 4Motion all-wheel drive, which is just an option on the Sportwagen. Both of these models will be available with practical features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone compatibility, crash prevention driver assistance features, and much more.
