"The Volkswagen Passat Variant ticking a lot of boxes. It is noble, quiet and comfortable, at the same time while staying practical and desirable."

If you are looking're a large family combination, you could do a lot worse than the Volkswagen Passat Variant do. It is extremely practical - with more space inside than the previous version, although to be slightly smaller on the outside -. As well, and very well built as subtly handsome (at least in our eyes) inward
With respect to the rival the Passat Variant, closes the gap between modest mainstream models such as the Ford Mondeo Estate, Opel Insignia Sports Tourer , Mazda 6 Tourer and Hyundai i40 Estate and more premium offerings such as the BMW 3 Series Touring, Mercedes C-class and Audi A4 Avant.
However, in the shape of the Skoda Superb Estate Passat comes biggest problem. It is based on the same mechanical underpinnings as the VW, comes with a wider range of engines and more space and standard equipment features for less money. The Passat will hold more of their value on the used market, but.
Under the hood there is a choice of diesel engines, either 1.6 or 2.0 liters. The entry-level 1.6-liter model manages 118bhp, while the top-of-the-range twin-turbo 2.0-liter produces 237bhp and is really fast. In between there are either produce a few single-turbo 2.0-liter engines 148 or 187bhp. If you prefer not to go for a diesel, there is a plug-in hybrid gasoline-electric GTE model, which promises to be the cheapest Passat in the field to run, although it is to buy the most expensive version.
talked to the running costs when your priority then either the BlueMotion model with the 1.6-liter diesel or the aforementioned GTE ones to go for. The conventional diesel promises to 76mpg, while the CO2 emissions are fixed at 95 g / km will be assessed so that it release from the motor vehicle tax and the 19% benefit-in-kind (BiK) company car tax bracket. The GTE, but promises almost 177mpg and CO2 emissions of 37g / km, it exempt from road tax and London congestion charge and make responsible for only 7% BiK contribution. As these numbers achievable in the real world are, is quite another matter, but
There is a choice of seven different trim levels -. S, BlueMotion, SE, SE business, GT, R-Line and GTE. Our choice would be SE business because it comes with a whole load of kit. You get 17-inch alloys, an uprated 'Discover' satellite navigation system, Bluetooth, DAB radio, adaptive cruise control, tinted rear window, parking sensors (front and rear), automatic windscreen wipers, automatic lighting and some fantastic comfortable "Ergo Comfort" front seats. Combine this trim level with either the 1.6 or 148bhp 2.0-liter diesel (depending on your preference for performance or operating costs) and you have an excellent large family estate car.
Although not all the safety kit is on the Passat Variant standard, it is still considered a five star car by Euro NCAP, evaluated with a variety of airbags, a tire pressure monitoring system, ISOFIX points on the outer rear seats, a post-collision braking system, and a mandatory traction control, anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control.
We would not worry too much about the reliability, either, as even if the car is to have no concrete information for us in this area a bit too young, Volkswagen has built a reputation for quality. the vast majority of the parts on the Passat uses well proven in other cars.
