The dimensions
This crossover model is 4.23 meters long, which makes it 25 centimeters shorter than the Tiguan. It measures 1.81 meters in width without the outside mirrors, and is 1.57 meters high. This makes it eight centimeters higher taller than the Golf.
The engines
The car comes equipped with one of six efficient TSI and TDI engines from 85 kW/115 hp to 140 kW/ 190 hp. The 190-hp version transfers power to all four wheels with 4MOTION and 7-speed DSG as standard features.
