The seventh generation Passat is how an executive sedan should be. A completely redone styling draws inspiration from the Phaeton sibling besides echoing the course of technological progress. With over 17 million cars sold, no-wonder the Passat is one of the most successful automobiles in the world.

Thought to give it a shot during car shopping. It is by no means a bad car ... But it is extremely boring. Just did not get any feel on the car ... Nothing was bad but nothing was great.» Read More -
Review done on 1.8T model.» Read More
Gotten this car as a replacement for the Jetta at discounted price.
improvement of ride comfort can be felt from the moment the car moves off.
VW threw in loads of features into local this unit.
Nice family car to ferry passengers in comfort over long distance. -
Test driven the 1.8L sometime back (can search in my past review for this model).» Read More
Sometime back, went to see this 1.4L baby....it caught me by surprised that not just the features are captivating, the engine is also too...
The drive was AWESOME...a 1.4L with superb performance in strength where you can literately forgo getting the bigger capacity (save you on road tax and COE as this belongs to CAT A car).
Interior was nice, features like PARK ASSIST is something new to me which if I can't remember if the earlier 1.8L I tried does come with it...but it was accurate and good to use for parking.
Its interior is definately comparable to an others which features too and comes with the kick boot open and its good to have like electronic parking brakes, etc...
The drive was fantastic, despite many say DSG having issues on and off....but I do find the POWER in it which runs like any other 2.0L on the road.
Overtaking was soooo easy, which initially when I tried on the test roads, I slam on the throttle, it roars to life and swiftly overtakes the 2 x cars in front along the route.
Cornering had no issues too, although cannot compare to its younger sibling, the Golf which is designed to be.
Additionals like sunroof or white xenon lights are optional but costs are much more affordable, comparing to brands like Merz, BMW or even Audi.
This is a good alternative to Lexus GS series, BMW 5 Series, Audi A6s or even Mercedes E class in terms of price, capacity (which saves you on fuel and taxes, not just COE alone) and many others which serves as a spacious, comfortable and good looking family and business cars out there. -
Sold off my 523i for this machine. Although I must agree that the drive feel is different, for the price, I thought it was good. Whatever features the 523 has, the Passat has them as well (oh well, less the auto folding mirror). Front ventilation zircon cooling seats (both driver and front passenger) is awesome in hot days.» Read More
A real fuel saver (city driving of 11km / liter) and combined (13-15km/liter). What else can we ask for? 1390cc engine supporting a size equivalent to a 523i (only 5cm shorter). With the soaring fuel prices, this car is one of the answer for the need of big cars with small cars' consumption.
The Volkswagen Passat is packed with all the features you would expect from a beautifully designed, German-engineered
sedan, and a few you might not, such as a powerful TSI engine, 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox, best-in-class fuel
consumption, fatigue detection, factory fitted leather interior, electronic parking brake, hands-free park assist, easy
open sensor-controlled boot and low CO2 emissions.
From whichever perspective you view the Passat; you will detect the unmistakeable Volkswagen design. The new Passat has a stylish, straight-lined and sophisticated look. Elegant chromed fins lend added impact to the radiator grille's horizontal lines, which give the distinctive front end an air of self-assured grace. The powerfully contoured C-post forms a dynamic transition to the vehicle's tail.
Tidy, clear-cut, unfussy lines - the elegantly understated interior of the new Passat offers an ideal setting for just being you. And the top-quality, elaborately crafted materials and clearly designed instrumentation together produce a liberating feel that will make you want to do just that.
The optional 'Park Assist' system makes light work of manoeuvring into tight parking spots. The latest generation can recognise both parallel and end-on spaces, and even steers itself in multiple manoeuvres into small parallel spaces only 80 cm longer than the vehicle - and out of them again.
Ever since they were first developed, the TSI engines have been synonymous with maximum power and minimised consumption. There are four to choose from in all for the new Passat. The 122bhp TSI BlueMotion Technology version takes this engine concept to new heights, however. Its fuel consumption and emissions clearly make it stand out in the TSI range. The TSI engines are available with a choice of a 6-speed manual gearbox, or the smooth-shifting 7-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox.
