    Exterior

    Impressive and big  - with this car you can convey the message that "you have arrived". It makes you feel special with light effects and few other features. Generous usage of chrome all around gives it a clearly distinguished image and presence in upmarket league 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

    Black original leather interior looks good; though supporter of beige color interiors in India may have different view. However, globally, black leather interiors are associated with high end version of luxury cars. Airconditioned  / heated seats very comfortable, loaded with features which no other car at this price point carry 

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

    Engine (same as in Audi A4 but with higher 168 bhp as opposed to A4's 140 odd bhp) is quite strong puller, For a change, Fuel economy is actually better than claimed by company.. (if you drive sensibly)

    Ride Quality & Handling

     Absorbes most of the road unevenness, handling good, very silent inside

    Final Words

     

    Areas of improvement  

    Vehicle manual provided by VW is not consistent with presence / absence of couple of features in Indian version of vehicle. Overall, I also found it not so informatively and fluidely written. This factor is important when you are trying to get used to the vehicle during first few weeks.  

     

    Exterior Looks, Interior Feel, Build strenght, Several invisible detailing to engineering aspectNothing so far. VW need to customise its vehicle manual to Indian version
