    • Lots of similarly priced Volkswagen Group rivals

    Matt Campbell drove this car and these were their findings:
    Hits
    • Far more liveable than many other new cars
    • Plug-in hybrid powertrain's EV range is excellent
    • Improved suspension calibration makes it a keener drive
    Misses
    • Styling mightn’t be to all tastes
    • Not as enthusiastic to drive as some rivals
    • Smaller boot than competitors and no spare wheel

    Colours Available

    The only interior colourway on offer is Petrol Blue, with copper stitching found throughout the cabin.
