2018 Volkswagen Passat 1.8 TSI Comfortline Plus DCT Transmission&Gearbox Specs

For family car buyers, practicality often takes priority over style and presence. Budget, space, comfort, and overall functionality are key factors when selecting a vehicle. But if a family car also delivers performance and driving enjoyment, that's a big bonus. The Volkswagen Passat (B8) is a D-segment sedan that meets these needs and more, excelling on long-distance drives, especially on those long balik-kampung trips.

In what seems like a blink of an eye, another year has passed and 2022 is now behind us. While we took a look at what SUVs and MPVs that will be coming soon (sedan to follow next), let’s take a look and see which cars were axed last year. Compared to 2021, last year witnessed fewer cars that were discontinued. Regardless, the departure of some of these models leave a void that may or may not be filled in the near future.

Globally, diminishing demand for sedans and the ever-increasing sales of SUVs meant that new car buyers are flocking to taller-riding SUVs instead of the traditional three-box sedan. Back in January 2022, Volkswagen announced that the sedan body style will be discontinued, leaving the wagon and Alltrack variants to carry on with the P

The B8 Volkswagen Passat sedan could well be the last generation of the nameplate we’ll ever see in Malaysia. Global sales of the Passat sedan are dwindling, and sales have been discontinued in Europe, North America, and most recently, Australia, but the wagon and Alltrack versions, which account for the majority of sales, will continue. General manager of Volkswagen Group Australia recently told GoAuto, "It's a question of diminishing demand, both locally and globally, for traditional four-door
