Volkswagen keeps wagons alive with the all-new Passat Variant

▤ Summary

Thankfully, Volkswagen’s proposed (and idiotic) tiller-mounted indicator switches haven’t made their way into its newest product. Aside from the fully digital gauge cluster, the massive infotainment touchscreen features the latest MIB4 software. The gear selector is now a stalk jutting out of the steering column, decluttering the center console. Even though the Passat has a longer wheelbase and more cargo room than its predecessor, it won’t handle like a barge thanks to the DCC Pro adaptive suspension—the first such application on a Volkswagen product. Customers can also go for optional ergoActive Plus seats with a massage function targeting multiple pressure points.
