Provides slightly more peak power (150 Hp) than the TDI, resulting in a marginally quicker 0-100 km/h time of 10 seconds, but lacks the diesel's low-end torque feel.

Less fuel-efficient than its diesel counterpart, with a combined consumption of 8.7 l/100 km, which is typical for a petrol AWD of this era and size.
