Volkswagen adds Highline variant of Passat

Volkswagen’s Passat and Passat Estate ranges have been expanded with the addition of a new Highline model. It features £1680 of extra equipment but is available at just a £500 premium over the SE model. Prices start at £20,970 for the 1.4 TSI 122PS.

Extra equipment includes a touchscreen satellite navigation and infotainment system, front and rear parking sensors, 2Zone climate control and 17-inch ‘Sao Paolo’ alloy wheels. These features come in addition to the standard equipment, which includes a drowsiness sensor.

Both saloon and estate versions of the Passat Highline are offered with a range of petrol and diesel engines, including a 122PS 1.4-litre TSI petrol, a 160PS 1.8-litre TSI petrol, a 105PS 1.6-litre TDI diesel and a 140PS 2.0-litre TDI diesel. Five- and six-speed manuals and six- and seven-speed automatics are offered. Order books are open now and some vehicles are in stock for immediate delivery.
