Pros & cons
Volkswagen Passat B7
- Generous 586 L trunk supports road trips and family cargo needs.
- 6.1 L/100 km combined consumption is efficient for its class on long drives.
- Signals strong safety standing, adding reassurance for families.
- Offers good value in its segment around a 25,000 price point.
- Front-wheel drive in this configuration will not satisfy buyers wanting AWD traction.
- 125 hp and an 8.6 s 0-100 km/h mean it is not aimed at performance driving.
- Not positioned as a premium choice if you want upscale features and finishes.
- Five seats only—no third row for larger families.
