The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2014-19) 4DR SALOON 1.4 TSI SS 150 EU6 SE BUSINESS 6SPD is a roomy, four-door family saloon, sitting among alternatives such as the Ford Mondeo and Skoda Superb. It offers a traditional booted shape rather than a hatchback, with the understated feel buyers seek in a comfortable, polished car for family or business use. The 1.4-litre petrol engine and six-speed manual gearbox make this Passat a sensible choice for commuting and longer journeys, while its generous cabin and boot suit growing families. SE Business trim is aimed at practical comfort. It is best for drivers wanting space and refinement without moving to a larger SUV.
