The freshly revised Volkswagen Passat GTE combines a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor to offer what on paper looks like it should be a great all-rounder. Rebecca Jackson puts it to the test in this CarGurus UK review to see if it lives up to expectations.

Pros
Solid build quality – feels premium
Acres of boot space
Classless image

Cons
Not exactly an exotic choice
It's priced against premium rivals
Some question marks remain over reliability

The CarGurus verdict
The Passat unquestionably has its strengths. It’s comfortable, refined, easy to live with and not expensive to run. The slight snag is that its price has crept ever upwards, which pitches it against an array of very talented competition. A Passat with a few options or one of the better engine choices, as a case in point, can easily cost as much as a BMW 3 Series or Audi A4. Consequently, buyers who want a more accessible option might be put off, while those looking for a premium executive car might judge the Passat not attractive enough.

Some will also find alternatives such as the affordable and talented Skoda Superb far more practical due to the hatchback body style, which offers up a larger and more accommodating boot opening. If you can find a Passat that meets your requirements for a sensible price, however, you’ll get a high-quality, capable and relaxing car with an appealingly premium edge.
