• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	Spacious and comfortable cabin with strong family appeal Feature-loaded with large touchscreen, ADAS and connected tech Plush ride quality suited for long drives Strong road presence and premium design Smooth and easy-to-drive petrol and diesel engines	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	Not engaging to drive, comfort-biased dynamics Low fuel efficiency, especially petrol variants No diesel automatic option available	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.
