About the Volkswagen Passat B9
The ninth-generation Volkswagen Passat, known as the B9, marks a significant shift for the nameplate by being offered solely in the 'Variant' estate body style. Developed alongside the Skoda Superb, it sits on the updated MQB Evo platform, offering a longer wheelbase that significantly increases rear legroom and luggage capacity to 690 litres. The 2.0 TDI remains a core choice for long-distance drivers, prioritising efficiency and refined cruising over outright performance. Inside, the cabin is dominated by a new 15-inch MIB4 touchscreen interface, addressing previous criticisms of Volkswagen's digital ergonomics.
