It looks even older than that..This is a nice trim but it’s just looks like a Ford Fusion at this point in time. Way to much chrome! Who likes chrome anymore except on actual luxury cars? Especially in this trim they should really fixed the monstrous chrome grill

ImYoutubing247 that’s normal for R-line. Their actual R cars are super expensive. However even within the r-line this is such a weak version. It should at lease have a black headliner, blacked out grill, black mirror caps and flat bottom wheel

chocolatewheelchair true except previous versions of the Passat had two options, aV6 was one. It would be nice if that engine was available in this trim and the SEL/SEL premium too. Not saying it has to be a Full “R” spec’d engine

In the review I think the reviewer stated that the 2020 Passat was built on the MQB platform. I think Passats still use older generation chassis for U.S. models.

Helpful video. A Bay Area dealer has several new "leftover" 2020 SEL Premium Passats and I'm going to check one out Monday. This gives me an idea what they offer. They want $25,000 for them (fully loaded top trim). I think that's pretty good.

Volkswagen has nailed it again! Although it’s a refresh of their long running design, it’s still very handsome and very clean. This will age well and is more mature and elegant than other more daring designs on the market. As always, they really hit the nail on the head with ergonomics too, and the price point is just right. I like it, I’d seriously consider one if I were in the market!

This has a old interior and is a super low trim lol. The touchscreen is super cheap (No nav and tiny) The gauges are not even digital. It has the old style stalks for the indictor and windscreen wipers. It has the old steering wheel.

@vr6gls5 жыл бұрын
Nice looking car, although the interior looks dated already. The Passat is in desperate need of a better drivetrain. The 2.0T should be the base motor and VW should offer a VR6 turbo for the premium trim. Same could be said for the Arteon as well. A four cylinder turbo does not feel premium in this size of vehicle.

regrettable or VW concept, in continuing with the same requirements of years and not bringing innovations, hard plastics that make a lot of noise, the same year-style key that can be used by a vehicle in the $ 30,000 range, A COMPETITION IS ADVANCING! , while a VW appears to be stuck in the past, but I do not deny that the vehicle has its elegance.
