Best avoid a TDI then.  A 1.4 TSI 150ps might be ideal.

Interesting to see the comments on tyre wear: my previous car, Golf Alltrack, had fairly even tyre wear F&R, fronts wearing only marginally quicker.

for what it’s worth, mine is showing the same wear pattern. There’s around 1mm difference between the front and rear after 55k miles. I did swap front to rear once at around 20k miles but haven’t really bothered since due to the relatively even tyre wear. 
 

As a proportion of its mileage, my car does very little accelerating out of junctions which is where I guess a lot of the extra front tyre wear comes from (accelerating hard and cornering). 
 

Edited to add that my car is AWD
