Standard equipment includes sat-nav, a DAB radio, Bluetooth connectivity, plus parking sensors and a reversing camera, and it comes in Reflex Silver or Deep Black metallic paint schemes. 

Power comes from Volkswagen's impressive 2.0 BiTDI engine which offers 178bhp and 400Nm of torque for muscular performance. Both six-speed manual and seven-speed DSG automatic gearboxes are available.
