Petrol engines return roughly 45-54 mpg combined on the WLTP cycle while the 2.0 TDI diesels reach the low-to-mid 60s mpg, with mild-hybrid eTSI versions offering a small efficiency gain through energy recuperation. Real-world figures will vary with load, driving style and options fitted.
Servicing follows either a fixed schedule or a flexible one calculated by on-board sensors. the flexible option can stretch oil changes toward two years or 20 000 miles under light use. Fixed-price service plans covering the first two visits are commonly offered by dealers.
The car carries a five-star Euro NCAP score with strong adult and child occupant protection. Standard kit covers autonomous emergency braking, lane keeping, fatigue detection and multi-collision braking. higher grades add side-assist and traffic-jam assist.
Ownership is backed by a three-year warranty limited to 60 000 miles plus a separate paint and body-protection package. Routine maintenance costs sit in the mid-range for the class and the car is widely supported by both main dealers and independent specialists.
