Customers will also benefit from black and silver microsuede upholstery inside,
glossy black and silver inserts, 9.2-inch infotainment, satellite navigation,

The engine lineup comprises of three petrol units,
including the 95 PS and 115 PS 1.0-liter TSI,

settle for the 115 PS 1.6-liter TDI, which can be paired to a
seven-speed gearbox as well.
