, including its MQB EVO platform, electric architecture and petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid drivetrains, providing it with valuable economies of scale with its equally new stablemate.
Inside, there’s an all-new cabin. The changes here are arguably even more pronounced than with the exterior. They revolve around a new-look dashboard that features a 10.25in digital instrument display with up to four different skins and a standard 12.9in or optional 15.0in infotainment display. To get under way, you hit the start button within the centre console and twist the end of the gear controller to the ‘D’ position.The changes to the interior, including a new interface and menu structure for the infotainment system, make this Passat a straightforward car to operate. There's a higher level of perceived quality, too.
The steering is accurate and nicely weighted, with eager self-centring and greater feedback than before. The changes to the suspension also bring an added degree of agility and improved body control to the handling. All this makes it a sharper and more enjoyable car to drive than its predecessor. It's easy to place on the road and get along with. Just don't expect it to be sporting or remotely athletic.
