There's a buzz of excitement around the new Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TDI, which delivers a thrilling 130kW of power and completes the range of the eighth generation Passat. Its new four-cylinder engine is compact, lightweight and fuel-efficient, and has been designed to deliver greater fuel economy and sporty performance.

The 6-speed DSG powered engine reaches a top speed of 228km/h, and a zero to 100km/h sprint is achieved in a respectable 8.2 seconds. Its claimed combined cycle of fuel consumption is miserly 5.0 litres per 100km.

The range topper, Executive, has App Connect, Nappa leather seats as well as LED headlights with dynamic cornering lights and LED daytime running lights as new standard features. Furthermore, the Executive derivative is fitted as standard with R-Line Styling Package, which adds sporty front grille; front and rear grille; side skirt as well as 18- inch "Marseille" alloy wheels.

All the derivatives are only available with DSG (6-speed for 2.0 TSI and TDI; 7-speed for 1.4 TSI) transmission.

The optional convenient and functional features have been repackaged to give customers more value. The new optional features packages are: Tow Package (tow bar, trailer assist and park assist); Safety Package (Adaptive Cruise Control and Head-up display); Park Package (Keyless access, automatic boot, rear view camera and park assist); Park Package with Area View (Area view, keyless access, automatic boot and park assist); Luxury Package (Electric front seats, electric folding mirrors, DynAudio sound system, ambience lighting and 230V socket) and R-Line Styling Package (Luxury models).
