The model

Read full review

This ninth-generation VW Passat is the best yet, proving a comfortable, refined and hugely practical estate with a smart interior, plus it can make a cheap company car. If you do buy one, we think the 1.5 TSI eHybrid engine is a good choice. Mid-spec Elegance is our pick of the trim range.

The trim

See full equipment

Life trim provides plenty of equipment, including 17in alloys wheels, LED headlights, three-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, a rear-view camera, massaging front seats and ambient interior lighting.

The engine

See full engine specs

This 148bhp petrol engine uses mild-hybrid technology to bolster performance and fuel economy; the 0-62mph sprint is completed in 9.2 seconds and it officially averages more than 50mpg. It’s available only with a seven-speed automatic gearbox.
