It is available with 3 engine options: 1.2-litre NA petrol, 1.0-litre turbo petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. The HTK+ variant is available with all three engine options making it a good option. Diesel engine is available starting from the base HTE variant Different types of transmission options are available depending on the engine.

Cons	The interior width is not that good fitting 3 adults in the rear seat might be difficult It misses on some features as compared to its rivals such as a panoramic sunroof, 360-degree camera, ADAS, USB charging ports No diesel engine is available in the lineup The DSG gearbox has reliability issues and it has faced breakdowns previously The top-spec variants cost over Rs 20 lakh on-road which is quite expensive considering the feature offering Turbo petrol engines are not much fuel-efficient Skoda’s after-sales service is not that great as compared to rivals like Hyundai, KIA and Maruti Suzuki The boot space is quite less as compared to other cars in the segment	No automatic transmission with the 1.2-litre NA petrol engine The lower models lack features.

  It offers a competitive mileage in its segment, with the petrol variant delivering around 17-18 km/l in real-world conditions. The diesel variant is expected to offer even better mileage, averaging around 20-21 km/l.
