The new 2020 Volkswagen Passat facelift (B8 generation) made its local debut last week with less power but with an even more affordable price tag. But what else is new on the Passat? Here’s a quick comparison. The biggest change with the new Passat's line-up is that it has only one variant on sale, the 2.0 TSI Elegance, the 1.8 TSI is now discontinued. Thus, our comparison is only between the high-spec pre-facelift, Passat 2.0 TSI Highline, to the current 2.0 TSI Elegance. Up front, the new Pass

Expect the R-Line trim to come with more dark bits surrounding the exterior, 19-inch alloys, R-Line sports seats and possible digital gizmo add ons. The R-Line will be based on the sole Elegance trim with 2.0-litre turbocharged TSI engine producing 190 PS and 320 Nm of torque, mated to a 7-speed wet clutch

Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) no longer sells any Volkswagen Passat 1.8 TSI. All remaining units have been snapped up and the dealers now only carry the more powerful 2.0 TSI variant. This is most likely due to the fact that Volkswagen Malaysia is gearing up for the introduction of the updated Passat, which made it global debut earlier this year. Yes, we are confident that the new model will be much better than the current model, but expect prices to be a lot higher than the current

Volkswagen’s R-Line brothers, the Passat R-Line and Tiguan Allspace R-Line, are currently hogging most of the attention. The Tiguan Allspace R-Line has a one and a half month waiting period, and it’s easy to see why – it has the utility of 7 seats, with the firepower of a GTI under the bonnet. Both the Passat R-Line and Tiguan Allspace R-Line crosses the RM 200k psychological barrier. The former is priced at RM 203,411, the latter RM 208,553.

The D-segment sedan class of vehicles is undergoing a transformation of sorts. The people that used to buy such cars, the colloquially termed ‘uncles,’ have since migrated to SUVs. The ‘uncles’ who would have otherwise have bought a Honda Accord or a Toyota Camry, are now buying a Honda CR-V or Mazda CX-5 because today's SUVs offer comparable comfort, space, and fuel economy to a sedan, while an SUV's taller seating position is a lot easier for older drivers to get in and out of.
