The 2018 VW Alltrack came with many of the same basic specs as the 2017 VW Alltrack, as it related to engine, transmission, MPG and MSRP, but it also added an impressive extended warranty and some nifty exterior updates, which we’ll cover below.

The 2018 VW Alltrack also came with the first-ever “People First Warranty” The new warranty offered bumper-to-bumper coverage, including powertrain and manufacturer defects, for 6-years or 72,000 miles, whichever came first. In contrast, the 2017 Alltrack offered just 3-years or 36,000 miles, so…quite the upgrade.
