Safety kit is strong from the Style grade upward.

The 2016 Euro NCAP test gave five stars. Higher grades add more driver assists such as lane keep and blind-spot monitoring.
Keep the car by sticking to the service schedule and using the correct oil specification. The timing belt on the 1.5 TSI needs attention around 140,000-150,000 km. Regular checks of tyre pressures and fluid levels help maintain reliability in hot climates.
