• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	Cabin has good legroom on offer, supportive seats, perfect ergonomics & enough storage Two different petrol turbocharged engines on offer Active Cylinder tech with the 1.5 Turbo versions helps in delivering good mileage numbers. The performance of the 1.5L turbo is punchy and one of the best in its class. Feels planted and has good ride and handling dynamics, especially at triple-digit speeds	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 MT option available with the 1.5 TSI No Diesel engine on offer Reliability issues of the DQ 200 Dual Clutch transmission	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
