The Autotrader expert verdict:
The Passat has carved a successful niche for itself between fleet favourites like the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia and premium-badged alternatives like the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. As such, it combines sharp styling with a high-quality interior packed to the rafters with driver-focused tech to help the miles fly by. The plug-in hybrid GTE meanwhile offers tax-friendly running costs for company drivers.
Reasons to buy:
- Sharp styling
- Stylish and tech laden cabin
- Engines to suit every taste
