The ninth generation VW Passat will be available as an estate-only rival to the BMW 3 Series Touring and Mercedes C-Class Estate<\/h2>\n

The world might be moving towards SUVs, but Volkswagen isn't about to throw away 50 years of history (not to mention 30 million sales) when it comes its iconic Passat family car, and has unveiled a new ninth-generation model boasting more premium materials and an upgraded plug-in hybrid drivetrain that offers more electric range, without compromising space and practicality \u2013 which has also been boosted in this latest model.<\/p>\n

The new Volkswagen Passat will only be available as an estate, and with its sleeker looks will also now occupy the space in VW's line-up previously occupied by the Arteon Shooting Brake, and the sleeker design of this new B9 Passat shows this. The long body, sharp lines and smooth face offer a slicker look, while at the rear there's a full-width light bar as per many of VW's latest cars, such as the recently updated T-Cross small SUV. Passat is now spelled out in letters on the tailgate, too.<\/p>\n
