Golf Alltrack

Golf Alltrack would be a fine alternative to a mid sized SUV.

The tiguan is basically a mid size suv though.
The golf wagon is a little longer than the tiguan and the suspension height is 30mm lower than the tiguan.
So if you raise the golf wagon and add AWD its going to be the same car but cost an extra 10k.

I fear VW is trying to make the golf into an "it can do everything car" but by doing so will water down the model itself instead of having different products across the VW Brand that can do things better than others.

That's how the treat the Golf in Europe. I'm surprised we haven't had the Golf+ here

It is basically a skoda scout so it could work in theory.
However, Australians have tended towards SUV's over wagons in recent years (since the early 2000's).
From memory Ford/Toyota didn't even release a wagon in their previous 2 falcon/camry models as demand was so low and people were buying a teritory/kluger instead as it was the same price or cheaper.

I think it is a bold move for VW to try a golf alltrack in the Aus market.
Happy to be proven wrong though.

I certainly don't agree that the Tiguan and Alltrack Golf Sportwagen are much alike. First, the Golf SW is much better looking and more practical. Although the Tiquan is Golf based, the "upgraded" one will be the old chassis, not the MQB. If you enjoy driving, the Golf SW is the one to buy.
