Cheap new Passat an executive alternative


The cheap new Volkswagen Passat has arrived at UK Car Discount and offers BMW standards of quality and refinement, but at cheap, mainstream prices.

Volkswagen expect to sell about 32,000 Passats per year and hope the model will rival family cars like the Ford Mondeo, new Vauxhall Vectra and Toyota Avensis; as well as executive models such as the BMW 3-Series, Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class.

It has taken almost ten years for Volkswagen to release a new Passat, and from the outside the changes are subtle but well co-ordinated. The Passat's deep from grille and distinctive headlights give it an aggressive, purposeful stance.

Meanwhile details like the low profile front fog lamps and wing mirror mounted indicators typify Volkswagen's much vaunted attention to detail.

On the inside and a design fixation with buttons becomes immediately apparent. The Press and Drive Ignition starts the car up, while the Electronic Push Button Parking Brake stops it, leaving the centre console clear of a handbrake.

Once stopped the spacious boot can then be opened from the cabin by, that's right, the touch of a button.

The new Volkswagen Passat is available with a range of diesel and petrol engines and the manufacturer expects the majority to be supplied with TDI diesel engines.

High spec options such as keyless entry, DVD satellite navigation and a ten-speaker sound system mean that the Passat can compete with executive brands such BMW and Mercedes.

However with cheap new Volkswagen Passats now available through UK Car Discount the VW is a great low cost, no compromise alternative.
