The 150-hp version is offered with front-wheel drive and 6-speed manual or all-wheel drive and 7-speed DSG, while the 190-hp top model is offered exclusively with 4Drive and DSG.

Mix of sportiness and comfort
The 190 hp gasoline engine is a pleasant cruiser that is quiet and soft, especially at country road and Swiss highway speeds. Nominally equally powerful, the diesel makes a more powerful and confident impression and feels a touch more biting thanks to its higher torque (400 Nm versus 320 Nm for the gasoline engine). Seat's chassis engineers have managed a good mix of sportiness and comfort.
The seating position is pleasantly high and provides a good overview, all controls are easily accessible. The seats are comfortable, materials and workmanship make a good impression.
