Volkswagen’s go-anywhere Golf gets a mid-life refresh but the Alltrack update is more than a mild makeover

While Australia’s obsession with SUVs shows no sign of abating, Volkswagen’s Golf Alltrack offers a middle ground between the dynamic advantages of a car or wagon, paired with the raised ride-height and four-wheel drive for the all-terrain ability of some SUVs.

In Mk7 form, the Golf Alltrack was available in just one variant, but Volkswagen has had two years to evaluate the model’s potential in Australia and a warm reception has prompted the car maker to boost the Alltrack range to three variants as part of its 7.5 mid-life update.

If introducing just one Alltrack in 2015 looked like a lack of confidence on Volkswagen’s part, a tripling of the line-up is a statement of intent.
