Petrol engines with WLTP combined consumption from 5.5 l/100 km
Service interval every 1 year or 15,000 km
Euro NCAP 5-star rating
Standard Front Assist with pedestrian detection, Lane Assist, traffic sign recognition and multiple airbags
Fuel use stays low with the efficient 1.0 TSI and 1.5 TSI petrol engines. Combined WLTP figures start at 5.5 l/100 km and rise only slightly with higher power or DSG. Real-world figures stay close if you avoid heavy traffic.
Servicing follows a clear schedule of inspection every year or 15,000 km. Oil and filter changes form the core of each visit. Flexible long-life options can stretch to 30,000 km or two years depending on driving style. Brake fluid changes every two years and cabin filters keep the car reliable.
Safety starts with a five-star Euro NCAP result. Standard kit covers front, side and curtain airbags, Front Assist automatic emergency braking, Lane Assist, driver fatigue alert, tyre-pressure monitoring and hill-hold. Optional packs add adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring and rear side airbags for up to nine airbags total.
Keeping the car simple means sticking to official intervals and original parts. Warranty covers three years with unlimited kilometres plus one extra year up to 60,000 km. Paint lasts three years and body corrosion protection reaches twelve years. Service plans lock in costs for peace of mind.
