Basic 1.5 TSI (150 hp) with the system ACT (cylinder shutdown) is an ideal choice for the city: it is economical (consumption according to the passport is 5.8 l/100 km), but requires high-quality fuel (octane rating no lower 98). More powerful 2.0 TSI (190/280 hp) available with all-wheel drive 4×4 Haldex and a box DSG-7, but his appetite increases to 7.5 l/100 km in the combined cycle. Diesel 2.0 TDI (150/190 hp) - rare on the aftermarket, although its torque 340 Nm makes the car incredibly torquey on the track.
