The 1 generation Estate 5-door list is: 1.2 MT 85 hp, 1.2 MT 90 hp, 1.2 MT 105 hp, 1.2 MT 110 hp, 1.6 MT 105 hp Gasoline, 1.6 AT 105 hp, 1.4 MT 90 hp Diesel, 1.4 DSG 90 hp Diesel, 1.6 MT 116 hp Diesel, 1.6 MT 90 hp Diesel, 1.6 DSG 90 hp Diesel, 1.6 MT 105 hp Diesel.

1 generation (2012-09-01 to 2018-01-31), including 1 generation, restyling (2017-03-01 to 2019-07-31). The first generation is listed as Estate 5-door from 2012-09-01 to 2018-01-31; the catalogue claims 37 versions for that record and lists 12 of them. The restyling of the same generation is listed as Liftback from 2017-03-01 to 2019-07-31; the catalogue claims 19 versions for that record and lists 12 of them. The two records overlap in calendar time (2017-03-01 to 2018-01-31). All first-generation and restyling versions in the data are FWD. Ground clearance in this generation is not one figure: 134 mm, 136 mm, 151 mm and 170 mm all appear.

The 1 generation Estate 5-door list is: 1.2 MT 85 hp, 1.2 MT 90 hp, 1.2 MT 105 hp, 1.2 MT 110 hp, 1.6 MT 105 hp Gasoline, 1.6 AT 105 hp, 1.4 MT 90 hp Diesel, 1.4 DSG 90 hp Diesel, 1.6 MT 116 hp Diesel, 1.6 MT 90 hp Diesel, 1.6 DSG 90 hp Diesel, 1.6 MT 105 hp Diesel.

The 1 generation, restyling Liftback list is: 1.6 MT 90 hp Gasoline, 1.6 MT 110 hp, 1.6 AT 110 hp, 1.0 MT 95 hp (0–100 11 s, top speed 187 km/h, kerb 1170 kg), 1.0 MT 110 hp, 1.4 MT 90 hp Diesel, 1.4 DSG 90 hp Diesel, 1.6 MT 116 hp Diesel, 1.4 DSG 125 hp Gasoline, 1.0 DSG 95 hp, 1.0 DSG 110 hp, and a second 1.0 MT 95 hp (0–100 11 s, top speed 184 km/h, kerb 1165 kg). Two restyling versions share the name 1.0 MT at 95 hp; they are not the same car on the numbers that are measured.

2 generation (from 2019-12-01, no end date in the data). The second generation is listed as Liftback with 4 versions, all Gasoline, all FWD, all with a 55 L tank, 170 mm ground clearance, Euro 5, and wheels 175/70 R14, 195/55 R15 and 195/55 R16. The four versions are 1.4 DSG (125 hp), 1.6 MT (90 hp), 1.6 AT (110 hp) and 1.6 MT (110 hp). For all four of these, 0–100 km/h, top speed, fuel consumption, CO2, kerb weight and gross weight are not measured.

Performance and economy (0–100, top speed, mpg)

0–100 km/h, top speed and fuel use are measured for the 1 generation and 1 generation, restyling versions listed below. For all four 2 generation versions they are not measured. CO2 is not measured unless a number is given. Consumption figures are litres per 100 km as stored; this catalogue does not convert them to miles per gallon.

Dimensions and weight

Overall length, width, height and wheelbase in metres or inches are not measured in this dataset. Tank volume is 55 L on every listed version.

Ground clearance: 170 mm on all four 2 generation versions and on restyling 1.6 MT (90 hp), 1.6 MT (110 hp), 1.6 AT (110 hp) and 1.4 DSG (125 hp). 136 mm on restyling 1.0 MT (both 95 hp cars and the 110 hp), 1.4 MT Diesel, 1.4 DSG Diesel, 1.6 MT (116 hp Diesel), 1.0 DSG (95 hp), 1.0 DSG (110 hp), and on 1 generation 1.2 MT (85 hp) and 1.6 MT (105 hp Diesel). 134 mm on 1 generation 1.2 MT (90 hp), 1.2 MT (110 hp), 1.6 MT (105 hp Gasoline), 1.6 AT (105 hp), 1.4 MT Diesel, 1.4 DSG Diesel, 1.6 MT (116 hp Diesel). 151 mm on 1 generation 1.2 MT (105 hp), 1.6 MT (90 hp Diesel) and 1.6 DSG (90 hp Diesel). The spread between the lowest 134 mm and the highest 170 mm is 36 mm.

Wheels: 175/70 R14, 195/55 R15 and 195/55 R16 on all 2 generation versions and on restyling 1.6 MT (90 hp), 1.6 MT (110 hp), 1.6 AT and 1.4 DSG (125 hp). Restyling 1.0 DSG (110 hp) is listed with 185/60 R15, 215/45 R16 and 225/40 R17. Wheel sizes for the other restyling and 1 generation versions are not measured.

Kerb and gross weight for all four 2 generation versions are not measured.

Restyling kerb / gross (kg): 1.6 MT 90 hp 1160 / 1665; 1.6 MT 110 hp 1175 / 1680; 1.6 AT 1215 / 1720; 1.0 MT (187 km/h) 1170 / 1630; 1.0 MT (110 hp) 1190 / 1650; 1.4 MT Diesel 1244 / 1704; 1.4 DSG Diesel 1265 / 1725; 1.6 MT 116 hp Diesel 1295 / 1755; 1.4 DSG 125 hp 1227 / 1732; 1.0 DSG 95 hp 1209 / 1664; 1.0 DSG 110 hp 1199 / 1659; 1.0 MT (184 km/h) 1165 / 1625.

1 generation kerb / gross (kg): 1.2 MT 85 hp 1155 / 1615; 1.2 MT 90 hp 1160 / 1620; 1.2 MT 105 hp 1170 / 1630; 1.2 MT 110 hp 1180 / 1640; 1.6 MT 105 hp Gasoline 1150 / 1610; 1.6 AT 1190 / 1650; 1.4 MT Diesel 1229 / 1689; 1.4 DSG Diesel 1250 / 1710; 1.6 MT 116 hp Diesel 1287 / 1747; 1.6 MT 90 hp Diesel 1260 / 1720; 1.6 DSG 90 hp Diesel 1280 / 1740; 1.6 MT 105 hp Diesel 1254 / 1714.

The lightest kerb in the data is 1150 kg on 1 generation 1.6 MT (105 hp Gasoline). The heaviest kerb is 1295 kg on restyling 1.6 MT (116 hp Diesel) — 145 kg more. The lowest gross is 1610 kg on that same 105 hp Gasoline 1.6 MT; the highest gross is 1755 kg on restyling 1.6 MT (116 hp Diesel). Payload as gross minus kerb is 505 kg on the 1 generation 1.6 MT (105 hp Gasoline) and 460 kg on the restyling 1.6 MT (116 hp Diesel).

Which version to choose

If the comparison is 0–100 and top speed, the restyling 1.4 DSG (125 hp, Gasoline, Robotic, 7 gears, FWD) is the measured peak: 9 s and 208 km/h, mixed 5.5 l/100 km, kerb 1227 kg. The same 1.4 DSG name in 2 generation has the same 125 hp, 92 kW, 200 Nm, 1395 cc, Turbo, Robotic, 7 gears and FWD, but 0–100, top speed and mpg are not measured there.

If the comparison is mixed fuel use among measured cars, 1 generation 1.4 MT (Diesel, 90 hp, Manual, 5 gears) is the lowest at 3.4 l/100 km and 89 g/km CO2, with 0–100 11.6 s and top speed 183 km/h. The restyling 1.4 MT Diesel is the same 90 hp and 230 Nm but mixed 3.9 l/100 km — 0.5 l/100 km higher than the 1 generation 1.4 MT Diesel — and clearance is 136 mm versus 134 mm.

If the comparison is a 110 hp Gasoline car with a Manual, restyling 1.6 MT (110 hp) is 10.3 s to 100 km/h, 195 km/h, mixed 5.9, kerb 1175 kg, 170 mm clearance, Euro 5, naturally aspirated (Boost: No), 1598 cc, 4 cylinders. Restyling 1.0 MT (110 hp) is 9.8 s, 200 km/h, mixed 4.5, kerb 1190 kg, 136 mm clearance, Euro 6, Turbo, 999 cc, 3 cylinders. The 1.0 is 0.5 s quicker, 5 km/h faster, 1.4 l/100 km lower on mixed use, and 15 kg heavier; it also sits 34 mm lower.

If the comparison is Automatic versus Manual at the same 110 hp 1598 cc Gasoline restyling tune: 1.6 AT versus 1.6 MT (110 hp) is +1.3 s to 100 km/h, −4 km/h top speed, +0.2 mixed, +40 kg kerb (1215 versus 1175). If the comparison is the 90 hp versus 110 hp restyling 1.6 MT: +20 hp, same 155 Nm, −1.1 s to 100 km/h, +10 km/h top speed, +0.1 mixed, +15 kg kerb.

If the comparison is Diesel torque, restyling and 1 generation 1.6 MT (116 hp Diesel) share 250 Nm; 1 generation 1.6 MT (105 hp Diesel) also has 250 Nm. The 116 hp restyling car is 10 s to 100 km/h and 201 km/h; the 1 generation 116 hp Diesel is 9.9 s and 198 km/h; the 105 hp Diesel is 10.6 s and 190 km/h.

If the comparison is the smallest Gasoline engine on 1 generation, the four 1.2 MT tunes (85 / 90 / 105 / 110 hp) all use 1197 cc, 4 cylinders, Turbo, FWD. Moving from 85 hp to 110 hp cuts 0–100 from 11.8 s to 9.7 s and raises top speed from 183 to 198 km/h; mixed use is 5.1 versus 4.8 l/100 km.

2 generation is the current Liftback list (no stop date). Choose 1.4 DSG if the 125 hp / 200 Nm Turbo Robotic is the target; choose 1.6 MT (90 hp) if the lowest power Manual is the target; choose 1.6 MT (110 hp) or 1.6 AT if 110 hp on 1598 cc is the target with Manual 5 or Automatic 6. Performance and mpg for those four must be treated as not measured.

Problems and reliability

Problem counts, failure rates, recall lists and reliability scores are not measured in this catalogue data. What the specs do show, and what a buyer can use as a hard filter, is the spread that is measured: Euro 4 on 1 generation 1.6 MT (105 hp Gasoline) and 1.6 AT (105 hp); Euro 5 on the 2 generation set, on several 1 generation cars, and on restyling 1598 cc Gasoline and 1.4 DSG (125 hp); Euro 6 on the 999 cc Gasoline restyling cars, the 1422 cc Diesels, and several other 1 generation Diesels and 1.2 MT tunes. Rear brakes are Drum on most versions and Disc on the five versions named in Engines and specs. Clearance of 134 mm versus 170 mm is a 36 mm difference on the same model name. Those are specification splits, not reliability verdicts.
