For
Top-tier L&K model gets leather upholstery, heated front seats, multi-function steering wheel, active headrests - and more.
Against
There is some wind noise around the front windows and evidence of cost-cutting in the cabin; it also lacks curtain airbags and the steering could be a bit livelier.

3
out of 5 stars
The most luxurious trim offers a bunch of nice treats and the 1.8 TSI is the petrol engine of choice, but the Ambiente (which covers all the basics) offers better value.
