That TSI engine is paired with an electric motor that gives out and additional 20 kW / 27 PS. And you also get one of the best gearboxes in the industry, VW’s 7-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG). And as far as those performance figures are concerned, check these out: 45 mpg, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds and it puts out just 98 g/km CO2, and top out at 227 km/h.
