Volkswagen Passat review by Topgear

The Volkswagen Passat is a well-behaved and well-built car with lots of room and perceived quality. But it's as boring as a three-box saloon ever was.

  • Comfort

    There's plenty of space in the Volkswagen Passat and it slips down the road quietly, and this ride is the real calling card.

    Rated 7 out of 10
  • Performance

    VW Group engines range from the 1.4-litre TSI to the 207bhp 2.0-litre Sport and 2.0-litre diesel with 167bhp. That last engine manages to sprint to 62mph in 8.6 seconds while still returning 61.4mpg.

  • Cool

    The Passat, especially with the current generation's sightly ornate styling, is pretending but not quite managing to be classy. Not a cool place to be.

    Rated 5 out of 10
  • Quality

    The old-generation Passat was famously superb in cabin quality, but this one doesn't really move the game on. Still, against increasingly over-complicated rival interiors, the Passat's classic simplicity has an appeal.

  • Handling

    The Passat's road manners are respectful but a bit dull. The basic underpinnings are related to the enjoyable Golf's, but it shows its extra weight as a numbness and slight slow-wittedness.

    Rated 6 out of 10
  • Practicality

    The Passat saloon is big and has a bigger boot, with through-load. But there's nothing here beyond class norms.

    Rated 6 out of 10
  • Running costs

    A Passat will be worth more than most mainstream rivals when you trade it in, and that will shave down your running costs. Other costs, like CO2 and long-interval servicing, are more than competitive.
