The Volkswagen Passat has always been a little ‘Championship’ next to the ‘Premier League’ trio of executive saloons that is the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class. Like a pigeon among peacocks, the Volkswagen Passat has also traditionally been conservative in design compared with these cars – even Skoda’s Superb – but this latest model has had a few tweaks to keep it fresh. There’s a new grille design, front and rear bumpers, LED headlights across the range, new colours and alloy wheels and a sporty R-Line trim with black wheels and exterior trim. Inside things haven’t changed dramatically, so the Passat still looks and feels reassuringly solid, both in terms of design and materials. There are new trim finishes and fabrics, redesigned door cards and ambient lighting, while VW has helpfully now written Passat in large letters on the dashboard in case you’ve forgotten where you are. It’s no A4 inside, but it certainly feels higher quality inside than a Superb.
