• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	Easier to drive in the city, thanks to the new electronic power steering. The safety kit is well covered with six airbags, front parking sensors, and all-four disc brakes. The 2.2-litre diesel and 2.0-litre petrol engines now produce more power than before. Ride quality has improved significantly with the new suspension setup. The refreshed design looks more premium, with a new grille, 19-inch alloy wheels, and LED headlights. Overall, it is a well-rounded facelift with meaningful upgrades over the outgoing model.	Safer platform and 5-star safety rating. 1.5L Turbo petrol engine feels punchy and offers great performance. Ventilated and electrically adjustable front seats are great for comfort. Interior feels premium and in line with other high-end models from Volkswagen. The German brand appeal gives it a premium and upmarket perception.
  Cons	At Rs 19 lakh, it still misses a 360-degree camera, Level 2 ADAS, and a fully digital cluster. Still more of a lifestyle SUV; families may prefer the Thar Roxx.	No ADAS and 360-degree camera. Skips out on the rear seat massage function, unlike the Kushaq. Compact size in comparison to rivals could be a potential deterrent for buyers.
