2017 VW Golf Alltrack 4Motion All-Wheel Drive System

One of the Alltrack’s key features is the 4Motion all-wheel drive system. The latest-generation 4Motion system is activated before any wheelspin occurs, helping eliminate nearly all traction losses. When operating under a relatively low load or when coasting, the front wheels are driven and the rear wheels are decoupled, which can help save fuel.

The 2017 VW Golf SportWagen is available now and the 2017 VW Golf Alltrack will arrive at dealerships sometime in October. Give us a call at Hall Volkswagen for more information or to schedule a test drive for one of these VW wagons.
