Mindful of European government and consumer indecision when it comes to the impending switch to EVs, Volkswagen has granted a stay of execution to its traditional combustion model lines. Which is why we still have a Golf as well as an ID.3, a Tiguan as well as an ID.4 and, as in this case, a Passat alongside an ID 7. The brand can't continue to invest in development of the old badges as it once did though, which is why this ninth generation Passat shares everything under the skin with the fourth generation Skoda Superb that's built alongside it at VW's plant in Bratislava, Slovakia. It also has something to do with the fact that you can only now have your Passat as an estate. You can see why Volkswagen was unwilling to let the Passat nameplate go just yet. A part of the company's line-up since 1973, it's racked up over 30 million sales. Though its days of big production volumes are over, there's still plenty here to please model line loyalists in this, the largest Passat yet.
If you've ever thought that a combination of Skoda space and practicality and Volkswagen class and quality would be ideal, then you'll like this ninth generation Passat very much. Under the skin, the fact that it's really more Skoda than Volkswagen is indicative of the way the Czech brand took the lead in the essential development of this B9-series design. But it's been packaged in a way that the Passat model line's loyal customers should like. And offers a level of cabin space that will impress them very much. A few will be disappointed that you can no longer have a Passat saloon. But the estate is the variant most would have chosen anyway. In a changing world, there's a reassuring sense of constancy about a Passat. Yes, it too has changed. But not beyond recognition.
