The best you will get in Volkswagen Passat is the spacious cabin and in particular generous legroom for rear seats’ occupants. Look of the car is not modern and you may be right to think of it as a drab exterior.
It has been observed in the auto market that sedans’ sale is on the decline and it has been continuous for years. So more focus shifted to SUVs but there is hope of turning around things within a couple of years.
Volkswagen is doing things in its own way by sticking to its car production and including an innovative approach to compete for the rival class of vehicles. With these endeavours, the company has managed to keep increasing its sales of units even in recent years.
But it is still lagging behind the five most preferred brands. There is no real change in 2018 model designing after the introduction of the face-lift model in 2016. That is why in appearance you would not find any pulling factor when putting in juxtaposition with close rivals.
The most noteworthy is a more powerful engine that is fuel efficient as well. You get 2.0 litre engine muscular machine that is capable of 174hp so there is an increase in output and on the other hand fuel consumption lowers.
This new fuel burner has replaced the old 1.8-litre machine. So the new option gives you more agility and better fuel economy. GT model offers 280hp with a 3.6liter VR6 engine and both models come with six-speed transmissions.
Highline, Trend-line and Comfort-line are three different packages to make this car perfectly a car of your own choice. The most costly among them ensures luxurious interior settings with leather seating.
Powerful audio system, front sports seats and power seat adjustment in eight ways for the driver to get perfect driving posture.
The other two less costly trims also offer great features like heated front and rear seats make travelling cosy for all present in the cabin. LED lights and daytime running lights are also part of these two packages.
Driver assistance package is optional and owners need to pay extra money to enjoy features part of it. You get automatic features that come into play whenever needed.
All these specifications are to make it a splendid sedan that can compete for any of the competitors in the class. Cabin upholstery colour scheme is upscale but hard to keep unblemished.
Lots of legroom for both rows inside the cabin is magnificent offer for all those searching relaxed travelling in the ambient interior. Use of hard plastic for most parts of the interior is embarrassing for the company as it takes away the lavish feel.
You can take a good amount of luggage as trunk offers 453-litre cargo space. Dual zone electronic climate control lets you enjoy different comfort levels. Infotainment system in the centre of the dashboard can be controlled on a touch screen of reasonable dimensions.
In all trim packages, smartphone connectivity is standard so you certainly enjoy your ride.”
