The VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT (2010-15) 5DR ESTATE 2.0 TDI BLUEMOTION TECH DPF SS 170 EU5 SPORT DSG AUTO6 is a roomy, mid-sized family estate and practical alternative to an SUV, offering a long load area and comfortable seating.

The 170 diesel engine and automatic gearbox give it strong, easy-going performance, while BlueMotion technology is intended to help reduce fuel use.
