It also has a high bonnet line, while the square-edged hindquarters make standard SE spec rear parking sensors useful in tight urban spaces.
Its take on security consciousness, meanwhile, dictates the annoying ritual of pressing the key ‘plip’ twice to gain access to the boot, rear hatch and front passenger’s door. It’s a complaint that historically goes across the entire VW Group of Audi, VW, Seat and Skoda, and can leave irritated passengers standing outside the car at a locked door while you’re on the inside having ‘plipped’ only once, wondering why they’re not getting in.
