Fuel use varies by engine. Diesels such as the 1.6 and 2.0 TDI deliver the lowest official combined figures, often under 5.5 l/100 km on efficient variants. Petrol TSI units sit higher, typically 5.5-8.0 l/100 km combined. Real-world numbers depend on driving style, load and 2WD or 4x4. Tank capacity is 55 or 60 litres.
Servicing follows a variable LongLife regime based on driving conditions, with the first service due after 30,000 km or two years, then annually or every 30,000 km. A fixed 15,000 km or yearly schedule is also offered. Oil specs match VW group standards for the engines. DSG and Haldex (on 4x4) need separate attention at longer intervals.
Safety is strong for the era. The 2009 Euro NCAP test awarded five stars with high adult and child scores. Standard kit covers front, side and curtain airbags plus driver’s knee airbag on most grades, ABS with brake assist, traction control and stability systems. ISOFIX is fitted as standard on outer rear seats. Body structure uses high-strength steel.
Keeping the car means watching oil quality and intervals, especially on diesels with DPF. Regular checks on brakes, filters and (if fitted) Haldex keep it reliable. Parts remain widely available. The flexible interior and practical layout make daily use straightforward for families or light off-road work.
