Steering assist at motorways speeds is a welcomed addition. Other than that the Passat remains an expensive and highly uninspiring car. The A6 Avant is barely more expensive on finance while the Skoda Superblooks better, is better equipped and cheaper!

VWSA has announced that this Facelift will not be coming to SA because nobody buys them

Have just completed 61k miles in a B8 2016 Alltrack.

not a bad car, but since it went 2 weeks ago I can remember nothing about it.

So it was a tool, not a car? That's the vw principle

Exactly. Very dull and very functional. I did keep a picture of the engine

Where's the Sedan?

 

[John Slevin]

i'm considering ordering a new Passat R-Line for 2020. I'm going with petrol and trying to decide between the 1.5 TSI (150hp) and the 2.0 TSI (190hp).

I'd appreciate any input from people with experience of both engines.

Apart from the extra power and performance of the 2.0 unit, are there any significant differences between the two? Are they similar in terms of noise, smoothness and general driving characteristics?

Thanks for any info.

The 1.5TSI is an amazingly smooth engine and is very capable. However if you want a fun engine and occasionally like driving fast then the 2.0TSI is a no brainer - especially in a large car like the Passat.

Furthermore WLPT slightly ruined the power delivery of the 1.5TSI and DSG combination.

It reminded me when the Euroncap tested a Chinese car

Huh? Something doesn't feel right in this video. Is that Passat made of butter, or what?

Holy shit @ the way the crash test dummy's head just completely misses the airbag altogether too.....(1:26) Bad luck buddy, you're dead.

 

[dalab]

It is a disaster, you can see how badly constructed it is, parts that should not be disassembled are broken down as if they were stuck with mucus, the front wrinkles like the Chinese cars of the 80', the airbag is rather a deadly trap and is laughable the way it inflates to the opposite side of the head, it looks like a birthday balloon.
It seems to be a Chinese version of the Passat ...

No, in Latin America a kind of regional NCAP was instituted to avoid this type of absurdity.
I play more for a model just for China

 

[CrunchSlaughtered]

It's the Chinese Passat, which is based on an older platform, that was not designed to withstand the small overlap crash test.
