VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI CR 170 DPF SEL DSG AUTO
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2005-11) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI CR 170 DPF SEL DSG AUTO is a spacious four-door family saloon, competing with the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia. Smart, understated styling, a generous cabin and useful boot make it a practical, grown-up alternative to a basic runabout.
With its 170-horsepower diesel and DSG automatic, this Passat suits commuters, company-car users and families making longer journeys. SEL trim brings comfort-focused appeal, while the car is valued for relaxed motorway driving, space and a refined feel. Against rivals, it is a sensible, upmarket choice, but age makes condition and service history important.
