The portfolio of petrol and diesel engines extends to the RS units with 230 PS in the TSI and 184 PS in the TDI. In the TSI range, a turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine now replaces the more powerful 1.2-liter four-cylinder version. The new 1.0 TSI produces 115 PS from its 999 cm3 displacement (with 7-speed DSG from 0 to 100 km/h in ten seconds and a top speed of 202 km/h). The new drive system achieves the greatest improvement in fuel consumption. The saloon with 7-speed DSG consumes 4.5 liters of petrol per 100 kilometers (106 g/km).
Innovations in the infotainment systems
The infotainment systems belong to the second generation of the Modular Infotainment Matrix (MIB II) - they are easy to operate, versatile and powerful. The Swing infotainment radio is already standard in the Active trim level in the new model year. A WLAN function has now been added to the Amundsen infotainment navigation system.
