(change model)
A sturdy car with four airbags as standard, ABS, brake assist and electronic stability systems, it is built with safety in mind. Security as standard is an immobiliser and interior protection alarm.
Although there’s no hatchback in the range, this doesn’t hinder Passat’s load carrying abilities, and you’ll find it a flexible friend for stowage.
