• Pros & Cons

  Pros	Comfortable and spacious interior with a plethora of features Convenience features such as powered front seats, panoramic glass roof, 15.6-inch rotating infotainment screen, ventilated seats, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, and more Safety features such as 11 airbags, Level 2 ADAS, 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, and more Over 550 km of claimed range (the real world will be over 450 km) Good built quality with top-notch fit and finish 500 litre of boot space and a 58 litre frunk Multiple levels of regenerative braking and steering modes Powerful motor performance in AWD, achieving 0-100 kmph in 4.5 seconds	Goes like a bullet. 0 to 100 km/h in 5.9 seconds. It hits 267 km/h in just 5th gear. Equipped with electronic front differential lock. Spacious 5 seater with 380L of boot space that expands upto 1237L. Level 2 ADAS with 20 autonomous features. Driver focused cabin. Twin chrome exhausts create a beautiful symphony of sound that’s pleasing to the ears.
  Cons	The rear visibility is not that great The car becomes a bit unstable at high speeds There are fewer physical controls, with most functions operated through the touchscreen Low brand recognition and limited sales and service network in India The rivals offer better brand value and service support	Available in single variant. Misses on manual gearbox. Being a CBU and that too with limited units. The front seats are great for spirited driving but don’t offer adjustability. VW offers heated but not cooled seats - something more essential for a country like India.
