About the Volkswagen Passat Variant (2024)
Independent spec and rating reference. No offers, no sales.
The Passat B9 appeared in late 2023 and is delivered in this market only as the Variant; the sedan was dropped. The entry engine is the 1.5 eTSI mild hybrid with 150 hp on the MQB-evo platform. WLTP consumption is 5.9 l/100km (manufacturer figure, not measured by us). Braked towing weight 1,800 kg, ample for a caravan or trailer.
In practice
Boot 690 litres, one of the largest in the D-segment. The B9 is longer and wider than the B8, which benefits the load space and rear legroom. Owners report real-world consumption that, depending on driving style, sits 0.5 to 1.5 l/100km above WLTP (public forums, limited numbers for this still-young model, not measured by us). The indicative list price rose from about 44,990 euro (reference date early 2024) to 46,990 euro now, a starting price, not an offer and not a forecast.
Points to note
The PHEV version (eHybrid) with a large WLTP electric range sits well above this entry price and is not included here. The infotainment is a large upright screen with touch controls; check during a test drive whether the controls suit you. Towing weight varies per engine, check the exact figure per version.
