This adds adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, forward collision warning, parking steering assist and front and rear parking sensors.

Topping out the range is the $32,890 Alltrack SEL, offered exclusively with the automatic ‘box. It receives 18-inch wheels, an improved 6.5-liter touchscreen infotainment system with 2.5D navigation and one-shot voice destination entry. It can also be equipped with the Driver Assist and Lighting Package that includes automatic adjusting Bi-Xenon headlights, a lane departure warning system and auto-dimming rear view mirror.
