The 2017 Golf Alltrack will be equipped with a 1.8-liter four-cylinder TSI gasoline engine that is rated at 170 horsepower and 199 pound-feet of torque. At first, it will be available with a six-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic transmission and a six-speed manual transmission will be available at a later date.
