• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	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.	Sharp, aggressive styling offers a strong road presence Longest in the segment, translating to generous cabin space and legroom The new platform and revised suspension deliver a comfortable ride quality Feature-rich from the base variant itself Strong safety kit offered across the range Well-laid-out, practical cabin with easy-to-reach controls Wide engine lineup: 1.5L NA petrol, 1.5L turbo petrol, and 1.5L diesel
  Cons	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.	The diesel automatic lacks excitement behind the wheel Top variant misses premium features like an electric co-driver seat, powered tailgate, and rear seat ventilation Turbo-petrol misses a proper manual gearbox option The new design is a bit polarising and may not appeal to everyone. Excessive Number Variants can Confuse Buyers Rivals offers much more accurate handling
