European trims included a 1.4 TSI (150 PS / 250 Nm) and a 2.0 TSI (up to 180–230 PS) petrol, as well as 1.6 TDI and 2.0 TDI diesels (150 PS, 340 Nm), mated to manual or DSG automatics ([Wikipedia][1]).

Inside, it featured a well-crafted cabin with features such as heated front seats, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto availability, keyless access, and various trim packages like SE and SEL offering upgraded styling and amenities ([Cars.com][2]).
