Under the hood

One engine, one transmission, two drivetrains. The decision for most Round Rock buyers comes down to whether they want 4MOTION all-wheel drive.
| Configuration | Horsepower | Torque | EPA-est. City / Hwy[1] | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5L TSI, FWD (S, SE, SE Black) | 174 hp | 184 lb-ft | 28 / 36 mpg | Highest mpg and the biggest cargo hold |
| 1.5L TSI, 4MOTION (S, SE, SE Black; standard on SEL) | 174 hp | 184 lb-ft | 25 / 33 mpg | Rainy-day grip plus an independent rear suspension |
Front-wheel drive makes sense when...
4MOTION makes sense when...
- You want added traction on rainy days, gravel parking at Old Settlers Park events or weekend trips into the Hill Country.
- You like the added composure of the independent rear suspension that comes with 4MOTION.
- You want the SEL, where 4MOTION is standard.
