NEW Volkswagen Passat Review: Sensationally sensible

The 2024 Volkswagen Passat is something of a rarity in the new car market in that it's a large family car that isn't an SUV or crossover. Of course, VW has the (much more popular) Tiguan to fulfil that role, but that doesn't mean the Passat doesn't have a certain appeal of its own.

In this CarGurus UK review, Vicky Parrott tests the new-for-2024 Passat, which is available in estate form only and is offered initially with only one powertrain: a 1.5-litre eTSI turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, fitted with 48-volt mild hybrid technology. It produces 148bhp, which is sent to the front wheels via a standard seven-speed dual-clutch DSG automatic gearbox. Plug-in hybrid versions of the Passat (with the ability to run up to around 70 miles in EV mode) will follow, as will a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine.

But how does the Passat fare as a family wagon? Is it roomy enough? What's it like to drive? Is the infotainment better than some of VW's other recent efforts? Vicky's detailed review of the 2024 Passat covers all these areas and many more. Would you consider a Passat over a Tiguan?
