The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2014-19) 4DR SALOON 2.0 TDI DPF SS 150 EU6 R LINE DSG AUTO7 is a large, premium-leaning family saloon, rather than a hatchback or SUV. It sits in the UK’s roomy executive-car class, offering a smart, understated alternative to the Ford Mondeo, Vauxhall Insignia and BMW 3 Series. With its efficient diesel engine, automatic gearbox and R-Line styling, it suits long-distance commuters and families who value comfortable travel, cabin space and a sizeable boot. The 150-horsepower version balances overtaking pace with sensible fuel use, while its interior and relaxed road manners make journeys feel easy. mycarcheck.com records 146 checks across 41 distinct VINs for this model in Britain.
