The Golf Alltrack combines the features of a family estate with higher ground clearance and all-wheel drive, making it a popular car for sports trips and mountain getaways. When choosing a roof rack, the situation is straightforward because the selection relies on proven mounting systems, and you just need to confirm the correct generation.
In this category, you will find sets for the generation with the code designation BA5, which is based on the seventh-generation Golf and was produced from 2015 to 2020. If you have a model from this period, verify the year of first registration and the production date in your vehicle registration document. If you own a newer model, check out the sister category Golf VIII Alltrack.
The Golf Alltrack in this generation uses raised roof rails. You can recognize them by the fact that they stand above the car roof surface, allowing you to easily slide your hand all the way through between the rail and the bodywork. In this case, the crossbar feet clamp directly around the rail profile from both the outside and the inside.
When choosing a specific roof rack, pay attention to the bar profile and the locking mechanism. Always check the exact composition of individual parts and the package contents directly in the product detail.
The estate body style offers sufficient roof length for mounting long roof boxes for winter equipment as well as multiple bike racks side by side. Although the car is slightly higher than a standard Golf, you can still load your sports equipment comfortably from the ground without needing steps.
Before driving into covered multi-storey parking garages, factor in the total height including loaded bikes or a cargo box, especially at entrances with reduced clearance.
If you are looking for a roof rack for the standard estate version, proceed to Golf Variant or the larger Passat Alltrack. You can find the list of all vehicles in the Volkswagen section.
Proceed directly to generation BA5 and choose the crossbars prepared for your car.
