#BestOf2017 – Volkswagen Passat

The Volkswagen Passat has been the market leader when it comes to executive sedans and the 2017 model has one-upped itself in every department. The Passat in its latest avatar is built on the versatile MQB platform and has a 2-litre turbo diesel that makes 174bhp and 350Nm  mated to a six-speed DSG gearbox. The Passat has all the bells and whistles of the VW group including nine airbags, hill start assist, auto hold, reverse camera with 360-degree view, dynamic chassis control, Nappa leather upholstery, three-zone climate control and VW’s handsfree Park Assist function. We even love the way the Passat looks with its understated design and handsome proportions.

We reviewed the Passat a few months ago. Here is the full review.
