“The new Passat is well built and very spacious, although it doesn’t offer quite the same amount of driving fun as either the Ford Mondeo or the Mazda6."

Mazda6 review: bit.ly/1F7Qd18 - Авто та транспорт
Bought it in 2016, first journey has been to the south of france, Collioure. 10 h for 1020 km (2 breaks, each half an hour , no refueling) and an average fuel consumption of 4.8 l/100 km. Great car, no regrets ! (2 Liter TDI, 150 hp)
Have no idea what people are going on about saying this car has a boring design. I for one thinks is looks stunning. Very classy and upmarket. Those curves and creases found in nearly every other car, which makes them all look the same, are in fashion one year and out the next. Volkswagen has a certain style about them. This design will look modern in 15 years time from now. It is very Germanic. Clean, efficient and classy. Looks like a beautiful car. Will certainly be looking at them in a couple of months time. Great review as always. This format is of course the best !
I agree look at the 2006 Honda civic the car looked too modern the design looked very futuristic , the civic looks horrible now
Firemarioflower The new superb is certainly superb. People are comparing its refinement to rolls royces, which they are probably right. I think this passat is incredibly stylish, I'm sure it is better finished in terms of material quality compared to the superb, maybe uses better sound deadening, but there are differences in build, but you really have to look for them.
Firemarioflower No idea, but i can imagine the superb is incredibly quiet, they have always been very hushed.
Oliver Newell I completely agree. great looking car.
its fuckın boring car mate dont fool yourself
is it just me or this car looks amazing ?!
It looks boring.
@@artaxerxe1 and you look like a wanker
It looks great

keep up the good work matt/carbuyer!
Truly excellent review! Thank you very much!
What I like about u guys is that u guys review car awesomely and most of these cars are present in India too so it helps us to understand the difference what we get in India and what is sold internationally .! Awesome guys keep up the work .! :)
The same happens here in Brazil, we rarely get a car with the same specs as UK or US
My dad had a 1999 1.8 turbo passat i loved it. boot space was big and in the back. he has a jag x type now and its smaller in the back
I like that you now disclose HONEST MPG figure. Keep it that way, guys.
I don't no why Passat is compared with mondeo and insignia when it is more classier.
It is compared to Mondeo and Insignia in terms of price and size
New insignia looks much better than the new passat
They're in the same class. The Passat might be classier but it also looks drab and boring.
@@BF4PF idk
@@BF4PF yeah i love vauxhall especially vectra and insignia
I would love to see the review on the updated Mazda 6 and see how it performs against the competition
Very good review as usual... Just a question, what car would you choose between c class, new Passat and new Audi A4 if you had to do 35000 mls per year?
Excellent done review.
Very good review !
Could you make please a review for Audi A6 C7 f/l ?
Thanks !
Iv had a 2.0 tdi GT Passat B8 for 5 years (iv had 6 Passats and normally keep for 3 years) it has been faultless and regularly returns 60 mpg on a run,has no squeeks or rattles and is a joy to drive
Wow, really amazing car! And great review.
Sure it is
lol all the haters... good job volkswagen, it is really great and enjoyable car. Keep up the good work :)

Insightful review as I am waiting on delivery of my new Passat! Company car
i watched this with 0.50x slow downed :) great video great car.. thanx
I got a used 2015 2.0 TDI, the previous owner sold it as it wasn't powerful enough for them after it was restricted due to emissions stuff. I've been having issues with the DPF due to it being restricted it doesn't seem to want to regenerate itself even if I thrash the crap out of it, the idle doesn't seem so good and everyone seems to be charging ridiculous amounts to do it. Other than that it is a good car. Is there somewhere that sells alternative engines for these?
The VW Passat is such a very nice car, especially of how stylish it looks!!
Just a matter of tastes, but I really like the Passat saloon instead of the estate. Lovely one. :)
nerd herd
european love estates though. They are much more suitable for long trip
I like it
@@anpham605 no way, estates are noisier
Agree
I own the new passat and it's a great great car. The interior is very good looking and has high quality materials and the exterior is just beautiful.
I have the 1.4 tsi and the fuel efficiency is about 1/12
I love it just love it.
Feels better than sitting in the small c class even tough the merc is beautiful
+sharon ben How much did VW paid you?Quality materials?are you seriosly?VW is crap and always will be.
+Lucky man please tell vw ppl to Call me and hopefully they pay me.
you seem to get more of a midlands accent day by day. i like it.
You are funny bro!
Like your analysis.
Had this car for 6days and did abt 1500miles around the UK. It was a sweet ride. Only cons is that VW fails to put cruise control in the entry level versions, my leg had to be on the turtle/accelerator the whole time. Thats sucks for a 2015 VW passat.
Looks cool
i would love a comparison between the VW passat and the skoda superb!!
best sedan ever made, no s-class no rolls royce. this is perfection
Impressive
This in auto is the one
You make me feel rich when in reality I can't afford a new pair of socks.
5:47 was the rear camera out? I saw the VW emblem flip down :D
Yeah ..I saw it too 😄
César Amalou Probably for some safety system.
Tawhid Ahmed in forward motion???
Yep, maybe for the lane departure warning?

The Passat is one of the best (if not the best) comfy cruiser, low consumption, silent inside, etc...
However in my opinion it is a very boring car. I really feel very disconnected from the road.
But that's just me :)
Anyway nowadays it's hard to go wrong with any car. Even the worst car today is a fantastic car compared to what I started with :)
So i like to drive fast... Can you feel the any power or would you suggest me this or golf 7 with the same engine? I think this is faster
It was on boring side at first, but now I want it!
As a proudly Jetta owner, I hope one day I can buy a Passat. VW is just my very first choice.
What a lovely car
I like Volkswagen Passat saloon review - Carbuyer
my Clio 1.5 diesel Extreme 2002 has automatic headlights ON too :) and rain automatic sensor ..... :P
Any idea when this New Pssat will be on US shores?
That looks like a full size Alloy spare wheel to me, not a space saver or am I wrong?
Thank you for the '179 cm tall'.
can you fit 2 large bags in the trunk?
which is the best or the strongest engine in passat? 190hp or 240hp? and what about automatic transmission is it good?does it make problems? Is it better in 4motion? So in short term, is this a such a really good car?
Why is the VW badge on the boot tilted in at 5:47 - 5:48? :D
Is passat better for family or tiguan?
Is the build quality better than the volvo s60?
Is that really a space saver spare wheel? It looks like a full size alloy wheel to me.
does he come with it!!!
Nice
How are you? Bravo! redundant wistful
I'm impressed with this car. Looks fantastic.
Benny8940 its still a vw...
5:47-5:48 Just look at the boot opening VW badge.. Just closes itself.. Funny :-)
I wish we got the Passat Estate here in the States :(
what he,s not telling you , 70 mpg on the motorway or dual carriage ways, i get 64.7 and above regular , use premium deisel fuel always, regular service it, its a nice motor. i had the cc but i found the cc to be nice but i did not need all that room and in the passat the rear seating is better in the cc its got more low down low curved roof, so thats a problem the passat is way better and roomy too, 2.0 tdi 150 bhp is teh best engine allround, great mpg. I,m very happy with mine.
I used to have a VW Passat 1.9tdi 130bhp SE 03 B5.5.
Does anybody know if the 1.4 TSI ACT will break after 100 000KM? I'm not sure if they fixed the issues or not.
Yes
If only Vw could give their engineers a few weeks practice in a Japanese - Honda/Toyota/Nissan - design bureau so they learn not to pile up parts and give components a simpler design. I would buy one.
I think everyone is obsessed with Honda Toyota Nissan.. but Vw Passat CAN compete with them.
it looks like a transformer with that front grill.
no it does not
Tadas Looks like a pasta machine slot at the front
Is this sold in the US?
Main beef with this car is the front grille and the plain centre console
I’ve got 2020 plate 1.6 vw passat saloon diesel automatic. I’ve get around 70 mpg on motorway and when I’ve filled it shell v power diesel I’ve got 80.5 mpg
Really impressive figures. I've got a 2.0 TDI 4Motion and if I drive really carefully I can "only" get about 60-65 on a motorway run; granted it is an estate which will always be less aerodynamic than a saloon, plus it has awd.
Pleas can you get avolksewagaen Passat cc
So an audi a4 or an vw passat?? both are from 2013
It just costs way more than a Camry or Accord in my country. Yeah I know Volkswagen is trying to go upmarket but it's getting a bit close to an ES 350 already. Thing is though, I'd pick this over any Lexus any day. Classy, restrained styling, really nice interior materials.
Go ahead, pick one but pls never compare any Lexus with VW. It just does not add up.
Y we dont have this car in MY ? It is so nice !
I love passat
Is DSG7 DQ200 0CW good?
Sorry Mat, what is the word the germans use for the effect of the adaptive dampers? I'm german and I didn't understand it ;-)
Ah, ok, got it from another comment. Thought you tried to use a german word ^^
Have a look at 5:45 when the car makes a turn , the boot logo goes mad
bring this to the US
5:48 boot handle goes from open to close lol
What cars do you own??
5:47 the volkswagon badge at the back (trunk opener) is stuck on the open position. Glitch??
AbdAllah Khankan that s the camera for reverse which stays like that after using just for after you hit 20kmh
@@filipbogdan4969 Is DSG7 DQ200 0CW good?
Bonza Mat!
Why no Maserati GT review ?
1:16 Also means, if you spilll something there... you're gonna go though hell to clean it. 1:24 My 2001 Jetta has that, no progress here, just getting less cheap in materials.
Would you suggest the Jetta or Passat for one man , one woman, and a newborn child?
The European spec Passat looks a lot nicer than the one built in Chattanooga
So when you buy the se version you get windscreen wipers lol ok btw I love vw
Let me know what's so quiet about that 2.0TDI engine???
@05:07 how to spell it? "the wooftyness" ?
"they have windscreen wipers.."I thought windscreen wipers were standard for every car? Always following your reviews thou'
Probably meant automatic windscreen wipers, its illegal to sell a car without wipers
😂
He was joking
Also VW please please please make a new R36
How much?
My first car decided!
at 4:05 you see an inch rimm of body metal around the window what the hell you pay for a premium interior and sheet metal frames your windows.
Tail finz Weight reduction bro.
tavi921 cheap plastic or fabric wrap may help hide the sheet metal, i dont mean to whine just seems silly for a high end car to have bare metal showing.
Tail finz well go see the boot of the new c class, the back of the seats are black metal, not fabric or plastic has any normal car from this century...
it can be a little crude but metal in a car by itself is fine. its not like seeing the sheet metal of the exterior on the inside. a good example of this is the interior of the ford ka. its like being sat in the back of a transit.
Tail finz
well the same happens on a vw up and the jornalists praised it for its built quality...
Unfortunately, as good as the Passat is, it's main rival is it's own family member, the Skoda Superb. VAG always had problems with internal canibalisation - but now it's very tough to keep the Passat far above the Superb
What happened to the rear emblem at 5:47???
André Freitas Wow! You're right !!
It's probably activating the camera, although I have no idea why.
ultrafloss492 probably 360 degree around view
That is actually rather cool, thanks!
André Freitas The rear view camera is located behind the VW emblem/badge. When you activate the camera, the emblem/badge flips open so the camera can point out backwards. You can drive with the rear view camera active if you like. At 5:47, the camera was turning off and the emblem/badge was flipping back into its natural position. That part must have been edited out from this video.
How come the Toyota Avensis isn't recommended as an alternative in the same category?
Tambo74 The Avensis is a reliable, safe and comfortable motorway cruiser, but the Mondeo and the Mazda 6 are much better in terms of engine availability and handling.
Carbuyer Better engine availability? The VW Passat only come in diesel format the Avensis has capable Diesel and petrol engines.. as for handling the Avensis is again a very capable car on any of our roads also it is a saloon just like the VW Passat, however i do acknowledge it doesn't come in a hatchback model. But saying that, the Toyota Avensis isn't quite as popular as the Ford Mondeo
Tambo74 Spend 10 minutes in a Passat and 10 minutes in an Avensis, and you'll see why it's not an alternative. It's a silly comparison. Even a Golf 7 makes the Avensis feel like a cheaper, less refined car. The quality of materials in the Avensis is laughable, I'd say the current Polo is above. Every plastic surface in the Avensis squeaks when you press on it a bit and there's that crumbly cheap plastic feel to everything.
Tambo74 Avensis looks like shit.
derbigpr500 So the top 5 cars in the same category would be? 1.Passat2. Mondeo
3. Mazda 6
4. Insignia
5. Avensis
I really rated the Avensis a bit higher personally but i haven't seen the new 2015 model yet. Have you?
Wow, Mat was so young.
How much will this costs in dollars
Yh its not like carbuyer is reviewing the VW Passat its more like they are advertising it. No negative points at all.
When is the B9 out
2023
Seems like a very well built car to me with some fine attention to detail. But it's not the sort of car you hop out of and want to look back at is it? The Mondeo has that badge. For me, this particular car would not be practical enough for me. That's where a hatch is the way to go. In Australia the price difference between the two diesel models is only $1.5k. For the base model the Mondeo is $200 darer!
They are never gonna make it look good inside, will they?
nemanja milosevic I understand what you maen. It looks like a school teachers car, all straight lines and very boring and not enough flair
pointstreet well that one is ok, but the regular and especially all black is incredibly dull
nemanja milosevic You think? I ordered mine with this trim driversplanet.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/new_passat_22.jpg
nemanja milosevicno coz they keep the good looks inside for Audis..
nemanja milosevic they will :D because this is not HighLine its ComfortLine or a Normal but if its normal IT looks like the 2014 model
Diesel engines only please. I work at Volkswagen in Australia we have the Passat here with the 1.8TSI engines
The only reason I am here is because I own a Passat. And after watching the video, I am a happy customer!
Is DSG7 DQ200 0CW good?
@@dragospahontu I have no idea what that is mate
@@shabbirw its a gearbox that is used inside the VW group.
Check engine lite on - comes as standard ))
Tornike Lobzhanidze Where did you see the check engine light?
Tornike Lobzhanidze Didn't you know? It's fitted as standard, designed to keep your mind racing and occupied whilst you experience the dullness.
at 5:46 there's a malfunction on the tailgate . mmm.... i wonder if it's German precision .
4:28 Well... that mistery is solved now, isn't it?
