The Volkswagen Passat is now only available as an estate!

The question is, has Volkswagen added enough updates to make it a suitable competitor for your next car? And should you choose it over other estates currently available? Let’s take a closer look…

Starting with the design, it clearly mirrors the design of other recent VW releases. We’re in the R-Line edition, which means it comes with a few updates over the standard car, such as a more aggressive black bumper and grille. It also comes with Matrix LED lights as standard, as well as an LED light bar stretching across the car. Along the side, there’s black trim around the windows, and at the back, it’s all fairly plain and neat. Nothing too exciting, but then again, nothing too annoying or fake either!

Step inside and the Passat is pretty smart. Given it’s the R-Line it comes with some Alcantara trim on the dash and even a set of sporty seats in the front. If anything, it seems like a bit much for an everyday family car like the Passat! There’s a large infotainment screen on the middle of the dash, and there’s also a digital dial screen for the driver. There’s loads of storage to be found throughout, and the centre console is super clean and minimalist as the gear selector has now moved to the steering column.

When it comes to engines, the entry-level is a 1.5-litre turbo petrol that can deliver 150hp. There are also two plug-in hybrids available. Both use the same 1.5-litre turbo, but whereas one produces 204hp, the range-topper can deliver 272hp.

The new Passat range starts from £38,500, while the range-topping R-Line trim starts from around £43,000. So should you choose it over the competition? You’ll need to stick with Mat and find out for yourself!
