Passat Dsg



Review

Virtually all factory 110-140HP DSG software has a 258 ft-lb torque limiter, which is well below our Stage 1 ECU tune’s torque. The factory TDI Cup race cars have a 368 ft-lb torque limiter. DSG and S Tronic paddle shifter extensions for Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, SEAT, Porsche, Mustang, Mercedes, BMW and more. Improve shifting reach and your driving experience. Fully custom Alcantara and suede steering wheel covers for all makes and models.

Competent engines, lots of high-tech equipment and a beautifully built cabin make the Passat Estate a compelling choice. It doesn’t quite live up to the overall finish of the Audi A4 Avant, though, and isn’t as spacious as the Skoda Superb.

Even the entry-level GTE is well equipped, with 18in alloys, three-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, automatic lights and wipers, and ambient interior lighting all included. You also get an 8.0in touchscreen infotainment system with Apple Carplay/Android Auto smartphone mirroring.

The Passat GTE uses a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine paired with an electric motor to pump out up to 215bhp. Acceleration is surprisingly brisk, with 0-62mph taking around 7.6sec, but it's the low CO2 emissions and claimed electric range of 36 miles that gives this model its real appeal.
