Professional Reviews

• “There's really no arguing Alltrack is clearly aimed at Outback and hopes to steal sales away from Subaru, which has long monopolized this automotive estuary.” — Automobile
• “The Alltrack is as composed as it is quiet, drumming up very little noise as it rolls along. One could safely assume that wouldn't be the case if a couple of kayaks or mountain bikes were strapped to the roof, which will likely be the case for a lot of Alltracks.” — Automobile
• “The Alltrack tiptoes through ruts and puddles, never once getting stuck on a trail we would never think to take a SportWagen on.” — Automobile
• “Despite the raised center of gravity, the Alltrack steers with precision, responds quickly to inputs, and hugs corners nearly as well as its comrades. ” — Car and Driver
• “Better late than never, we say. The Golf SportWagen Alltrack is a welcome entry, and it could turn out to be a real headache for Subaru's larger Outback models, as well as a number of duller crossover SUVs. ” — Car and Driver
• “Out on the trails, the Alltrack really put on a show. To be sure, we deviated from VW?s prescribed route onto a side trail full of unvetted obstacles. Scrambling over loose rocks and up steep, loose, and pockmarked hills, the Alltrack demonstrated far more capability than expected.” — Motor Trend
• “On the road, where most vehicles spend their entire lives, the Alltrack drives like a slightly slower SportWagen, which drives like a slightly slower Golf. For a compact wagon or compact crossover, the handling is excellent, with a planted feel and plenty of grip.” — Motor Trend
