The 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine on the car is good for 143 PS at 4000 rpm and 340 Nm at 1750-2750 rpm. Volkswagen claims a mileage of 17.06 kmpl while gearbox on offer is 7-speed DSG. Both the variants are offered with 4 wheel drive as standard.
The car measures 4486 mm in length, 1839 mm in width and 1672 mm in height. It comes with a wheelbase of 2677 mm while the ground clearance stands at just 149 mm. The low practicality due to lesser clearance makes it better for urban use only.

Volkswagen offer all LED front headlights, blacked out lower section, static cornering lights, 18 inch alloy wheels, all black interior and 615 liters of usable boot space.
