If you are jaded of diesel engines then Volkswagen Passat is exclusively built for the diesel performance you require. The diesel only TDI 150 version is swift, agile, quiet and refined for 2015. The SE business is one of the most refined version of Passat and it has the ability to offer exceptional levels of performance and standard equipment.
The eighth generation of Passat is very much refined for performance and if you are after an executive saloon in UK then it should definitely make your short list. The German car maker has made the eighth generation model as a TDI only, which is a very good thing because you can choose from four different power outputs and transmission options from manual to automatic while drive configuration varies from two-wheel drive to all-wheel drive.
Volkswagen predicts that the mid-range TDI 150 would be the best seller, either in SE and or SE business trims. With a 2.0 litre turbo diesel engine, it is capable of producing 148bhp and manages the 0 to 62 miles per hour in just 8.7 seconds and returns 70mpg on average.
The range topper power version is a 2.0 litre 187bhp, it is faster and reliable while if you are looking for a cheaper unit than you can opt for a 1.6 litre engine. However, there is a pricey option available with 237bhp of power output and all-wheel drive with Volkswagen’s’s DSG transmission. It is a range topper.
Most of the sales volume comes from company car buyers and fleet buyers in the UK. However, it is one of the best family saloons as well.
