The bottom engine is a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol producing 110kW of energy and contains a 48V mild-hybrid system.
Above it sit two 2.0-litre turbo-petrols, one with 150kW and one with 195kW, and two 2.0-litre turbo-diesels, one with 110kW and one with 142kW.
Probably the most highly effective petrol and diesel choices come commonplace with all-wheel drive.

“The Very good we might get a bit earlier however we need to watch for the high-performance powertrain,” mentioned Volkswagen Group Australia product and PR communications supervisor Daniel DeGasperi.
“The high-spec turbo-petrol is now the one spec you will get in Very good, the 162TSI… it was the extra inexpensive choice, however everybody simply went to the 206TSI.”
