1.0 MPI (65 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
The entry-level engine, strictly for urban environments. Performance is very modest, struggling significantly outside of city limits.
Fuel Economy
Best suited for city driving where its low power can translate to good urban fuel economy, but quickly becomes inefficient at higher speeds.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Spacious interior and large boot for its class
- • Excellent ride comfort and refined driving dynamics
- • High-quality interior materials and modern technology
- • Strong Euro NCAP safety rating (5 stars)
- • Range of efficient and capable TSI engines
- • Good value for money compared to rivals
Cons:
- • No diesel or hybrid options available
- • MPI engines can feel underpowered outside of city driving
- • Rear suspension (threaded twist beam) can be less sophisticated than some rivals
- • Some higher trim options can push the price up significantly
