What’s not so good
- Highway fuel consumption drops when battery is depleted (~8.5 L/100 km / 11.8 km/L).
- Battery charging on the move via engine increases fuel consumption.
- Compact 3rd-row legroom: Third-row seats are best suited for children or short city transfers.
- High CRSP customs valuation: Import taxes represent a solid investment compared to Japanese crossovers.
- Requires quality synthetic oils: DSG transmission requires fluid service every 60,000 km.
- S tronic fluid service requirements: Demands genuine Audi dual-clutch fluid replacement every 60,000 km.
- Firm ride on 20-inch S Line wheels: Transmits minor road vibrations on corrugated gravel tracks.
