• Pros & Cons

  Pros	Strong performance from the 261 BHP 2.0L turbo-petrol engine paired with a quick-shifting DSG gearbox. Sharp handling and impressive stability, making it one of the best front-wheel-drive driver’s cars. Premium, spacious cabin with sporty seats and a large 600-litre boot for everyday practicality. Packed with advanced tech and safety, including ADAS, 10 airbags and a high-end Canton sound system.	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	Expensive pricing due to CBU import, with an ex-showroom cost of around ₹50 lakh. Limited availability, with only 100 units allocated initially. Misses some expected features like a sunroof, ventilated seats and a full-sized spare wheel. Very low 128 mm ground clearance, requiring caution over bad roads and large speed breakers.	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.
