Volkswagen Passat B9 (2023+) The ninth generation of the Volkswagen Passat (B9) marks a historic turning point: in Europe, it is now exclusively available as an estate (Variant), the sedan having been sacrificed in favor of the electric ID.7. Developed jointly with the Skoda Superb (with which it shares its assembly lines in Bratislava), it is based on the MQB Evo platform. 14 cm longer than the B8 (reaching 4.91 m), it offers interior space worthy of the segment above and a gargantuan boot volume (690 liters). Technologically, it corrects the ergonomic errors of the Golf 8 with the new MIB4 infotainment system (12.9 to 15-inch screen) and backlit controls. The introduction of the dual-valve DCC Pro adaptive suspension elevates it to the level of premium benchmarks in terms of comfort. Ove
Purchase Verdict The Volkswagen Passat B9 is the ultimate culmination of the thermal road estate car at Volkswagen. By focusing on the Variant body style, VW has maximized practicality. Diesel Focus: The 2.0 TDI 150 hp is undeniably the master choice for this vehicle. The EA288 evo engine has ironed out the youthful flaws of its predecessors. With the AdBlue Twin-Dosing system, it meets the strictest anti-pollution standards while offering a real-world range exceeding 1,200 km on the highway. It's an indestructible engine if used for what it was designed for: long-distance driving. If your use is predominantly urban or peri-urban, avoid the TDI (risk of DPF/EGR clogging) and opt for the 1.5 eTSI or the excellent 1.5 eHybrid if you can recharge at home. Overall, it's a highly recommendable purchase for high-mileage drivers.
