The cabin offers a 10-inch or larger touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard across grades.

The cabin feels spacious and practical with leather or eco-leather seats, plenty of storage spots, rear air vents, and a quiet interior thanks to thicker glass plus extensive insulation. Higher grades add a power driver seat with memory, front seat ventilation, and a panoramic sunroof that opens up the space with more light.
Service interval starts with a 5,000 km check then every 10,000 km or 6-12 months
Engines include 1.4T and 1.5/1.6 petrol options with claimed economy near 6.4 L/100 km WLTC on turbo versions
Standard safety kit includes ABS, EBD, ESP, TPMS, hill assist and 4-6 airbags depending on grade
Higher grades add AEB, FCW, ACC, blind-spot monitoring and lane assist
High-strength steel body structure for crash energy absorption
Fuel use depends on the engine. Turbo 1.4 or 1.5 versions claim around 6.4 L/100 km on the WLTC cycle and accept regular petrol. Real-world mixed driving typically sits higher but remains competitive for a compact sedan. Tank size is listed at 51-53 litres on most specs.
Servicing follows a first check at 5,000 km then regular visits every 10,000 km or six to twelve months. Oil and filter changes form the core of each visit. Transmission fluid on DCT models needs attention around 60,000 km. Authorised networks handle the schedule to keep warranty valid.
Safety equipment starts with dual front airbags and expands to side and curtain bags for a total of four or six on higher grades. Core electronic aids such as ABS, EBD, ESP, traction control and tyre-pressure monitoring come standard. Adaptive cruise, automatic emergency braking, forward-collision warning and blind-spot detection appear on better-equipped versions. The body uses a high percentage of high-strength steel for energy absorption.
Living with the car means straightforward maintenance at dealer intervals and a cabin that stays quiet on longer trips. Parts and service support are available through the growing global dealer network. Keep to the schedule and original fluids for reliable everyday use.
