Volkswagen has announced pricing information for the new 2017 Golf Alltrack.

Combining the practicality of the Golf Sportwagon with improved ruggedness and all-wheel drive, the entry-level Alltrack S will set buyers back $25,850 with the manual transmission and excluding the $820 destination charge. This base price makes the Alltrack only $250 more expensive than the Subaru Outback’s base price. The Alltrack also gains 0.6 inches in ground clearance at 6.9 inches and gives up some gas mileage, with an EPA rating of 22/30/25 mpg city/highway/combined versus the regular front-wheel-drive 2017 SportWagen automatic model’s 25/34/29 mpg rating.
Moving into the midrange SE model pushes the base price to $29,430 with a manual transmission and $30,530 with the auto transmission. This adds adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, parking steering assist and front and rear parking sensors. The feature-loaded top SEL trim is automatic only and starts at $33,710. Considering all that it adds, this seems like an outrageous value. The turbocharged 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine remains the same at 170 horsepower and 199 lb-ft of torque, although there’s a bigger fuel tank (14.5 gallons versus 13.2) to compensate for the Alltrack’s efficiency loss over the standard SportWagen.
The SEL trim has an available Driver Assistance and Lighting Package ($1,995), which includes all the equipment from the Driver Assistance Package and an auto-dimming rearview mirror, lane-departure warning, high-beam assistance, and adaptive bi-xenon headlights. But this one will have late availability so dealers in October will be getting the S trim with the six-speed dual-clutch automatic costing $27,770.
