The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI CR DPF 110 HIGHLINE PLUS is a roomy four-door family saloon for UK buyers seeking comfort and a boot. It sits between mainstream family cars and premium executive models, offering a traditional alternative to hatchbacks and SUVs, for family life and commuting. With its 2.0-litre diesel engine and Highline Plus trim, this Passat suits commuters, company-car users and families covering regular longer journeys. The comfortable, composed feel and efficiency-minded diesel character are key attractions; compared with Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra saloons, it is known for a restrained, more upmarket feel.
