Reply With QuoteI read that too, but it could be misinterpreted. It could have read as it's "coming" to the World in mid-2015. Whether it comes to Australia is a different matter.

Saw it mentioned in today's Age article on the new polo pricing that the Golf Alltrack Wagon is definitely coming to Oz in 2015. Anyone got any inside intel on this?

Pretty sure I've seen a mk7 wagon on the road too.
As for an alltrack version, well that would be up the VGA to decide if its worth their while

The next gen Tiguan is due for release in mid 2015 so they could be refering to that.

The Alltrack is a 4motion (four wheel drive) Golf wagon, not the standard Mk7 wagon that has been on sale in Australia for many months.Originally Posted by 01_GOLF

It's the mini (Passat) Alltrack.
If it's anything like the Passat it'll come out in an AWD diesel.

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

^ Agree irossiter. Motoring.com.au says its on the way as follows (in an interview with VW Australia Head Honcho John White today):
"The new model action from Volkswagen will roll on throughout next year, when it releases the facelifted Polo GTI and facelifted Jetta in the first half of 2015, followed in the second half by the all-new Golf Alltrack wagon and eighth-generation Passat.
What's coming from Volkswagen:
Tiguan upgrade, R-Line – September
Golf Wagon R-Line -- October
Scirocco R facelift – November
Polo GTI facelift – First half 2015
Jetta facelift – First half 2015
Golf Alltrack – Mid-2015
Passat redesign – Late 2015"
Exciting year for VW next year. My 2nd car will be required August/September 2015 and will be a toss up between the Polo GTI or Golf Alltrack assuming its coming (this will depend in part of how my soon to arrive R handles family "wagon" duties for 12 months, have use of a family corolla for 12 months to tide us over)

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.
