New Volkswagen Passat cars for sale

Running Costs

The Passat is pricier than some of its rivals, but all but the entry-level models are very well equipped. Discounts are available, but they're not as generous as those you'll find on many big-name family cars. Residual values, however, are higher than average, while insurance and contract hire rates are par for the course and the fuel economy and CO2 emissions of most versions are better than average.

An extensive range of seat and wheel adjustment means almost anyone can make themselves comfortable at the wheel, although the optional sports seats don't offer enough shoulder support. The control layout is clear and logical, and there are plenty of places to stash odds and ends.

Running Costs

The Passat is a little more expensive than its rivals, and you won't be able to negotiate as big as discount, either. It should hold its value better than most, though, and other running costs are about par for the course.
