The success of this generation of the Passat, marketed since 2010, was absolutely deserved: the car was elegant, pleasant to drive and well equipped. Only the somewhat stiff suspension had been criticized. Available in 3 and 5-door configurations, the Passat had a wide choice of engines: 1400-1600-1800-2000cc petrol and 1900-2000cc diesel in different power levels. The car went out of production in 2014.
