Review
Comfortable and pretty refined: the Passat is very recommendable if you're looking for a classy executive car with more interior space than the BMW 3 Series, Audi A4 or Mercedes C-Class.

SEL is worth considering because it adds privacy glass, heated front seats, leather seats and power-folding door mirrors to the SE Nav's spec list.
Engine: 1.5 TSI EVO
With 148bhp, this 1.5-litre petrol engine is the one we'd go for to get a mix of potent performance, low company car tax (after the plug-in hybrid GTE), refinement and decent fuel economy – up to an official combined 47.1mpg
