Thank you, now I've seen tons of options I don't have 😂
I want badly to retrofit ambient lighting system!!!! Ahhhhh I love it!! I have the same car but as a sedan.. Very nice video and amazing extras!! Wish you the best ❤️
I've ordered new passat 2020-exlusive-2.0tsi-dq381-iqlight-iqdrive-preheater. thank to this driver, now I know the difference between passat 2018 and restyle! And HE is first who showed how navigation work in drive!
I have the 2015 version, not hybrid but very nice car to drive.
This is so cool. Sad Passat is discontinued in US
Hi and thanx for the video - am in the process of finding my GTE, and your video really helps, finding the right one :)
I think I can see that your car is the first generation from 2015-2018- correct ? - is there a way to see what a car has of equipment, through the chassis number ? - in this way it could be easier to find the right car secondhand... B.r from Claus, denmark
Yes, it is the first generation model year 2017. In Sweden we have a very good site www.car.info. Here yoy can see all history and all equipment of the car and it is free! I do not know if you have anything similar in Denmark?
I also have DCC and is very nice. Autohold is a must in a car also. Mine is 240 hp diesel with 4x4
Every B8 has Autohold as a standard feature,even the manual Ones
@@amchoo_929 wow nice. Many brands don't add it as a standard
Nice, I have a 4M 190hp also full, plus heated steering wheel and back seats.
Which car is it, is it also a Volkswagen?
There good cars , but still think the steering and suspension is very vague and jerky ride.
But that's my only complaint , but I do love my b8 r line scr variant a lot , super reliable car
Great walkthrough, thanks!
Very nice presentation. Thank you.
Thank you!
I have a 2017 gte advance, it has a larger 9.2 inch screen with no buttons or dials, and I added wood trims to the dash and doors where the silver trims are. There are also sun shades built in to the rear doors which help obscure the back seat even more than the window tint.
Has your car maybe been retrofitted to the MIB2.5 infotainment system? In Sweden, MIB2 was the standard for model year 2017 and MIB2.5 for 2018.
The strange thing is that in the equipment specification for this car states that it is equipped with "3Y6 - Sunblinds, manual for the rear side windows", but I cannot find them.
@@Limito10 nope, all extras were factory options. I ordered it direct from VW.
Interior led is full RGB ;) so with VCDS you can "hack" it to full 10 color anything you want to ;)
I have VCDS and OBDeleven, which are much more user friendly to do it, but it was done after the video was made. :-)
Thinking about getting one summer next year
Nice what a nice and luxery car i love it
First review where the towbar is folded not by foot ))
Thank you very much,I've learned alot about the car from this video.I also have Webasto Parking Heater in my Passat B8 but i didn't know you could set the timer.
Nice video and car. Im also putting a GTE front bumper on mind becuse mine is a regular one and I think the GTE just looks so awesome with the LED daytime lights in the front,alot better than a R-Line if you ask me...
Nice looking car! By the looks of it, DCC is missing otherwise very equipped car. Enjoy!
Finally you found it! :-) Yes, DCC is missing, unfortunately. Too expensive to upgrade too.
Three other things that are missing from full specification are side airbags in rear seat, 230V inverter supply in rear center console and DAB radio receiver. No, I do not miss the DAB radio receiver. :-)
@Emin Tošić Dynamic Chassis Control
DCC is very nice, noticable difference
Just hope you dont have to replace it soon
amazing thank you so much
Hi Limito, a very nice car and a great review. What colour Grey is it? looks really nice. Thanks.
Thank you! The colour is Indium Grey metallic, R7H.
I dont know if thats option on GTE
But things that are missing are
Ventilated seats
Heated windscreen
IR windscreen
Heated steering wheel (which you mentioned that that wasn't option on GTE.)
Also Highlights equipment .
But overall good looking passat.
How many km can you drive on fully electric ?
Cheers
It depends very much on the speed you drive and the outside temperature. If, for example, you drive on the motorway at 120 km/h and it is in the winter when the cabin is also heated, you will perhaps reach 25 to 28 kilometres. If you keep a lower speed and it's in the summer, you'll get maybe 35 to 40 kilometres.
The later models after 2019 have a larger battery and then you will go somewhat longer.
Frumos,foarte frumos!!! Beautiful,werry beautiful!!!!
Thank you very much!
Must be nice to have nice Passats. Here in America we have some knock off.
love it .. what year is this model? tx
It is model year 2017.
I think you missed: 230V AC power plug, TV Tuner + DAB radio, Jukebox and for sedan cars, electric sunblind (back)
Yes, I wrote that in another comment: "Three other things that are missing from full specification are side airbags in rear seat, 230V inverter supply in rear center console and DAB radio receiver. No, I do not miss the DAB radio receiver. :-)"
TV Tuner I do not think was available in Sweden? Jukebox I do not know what it is?
thank you for the amazing video. what trim level is that car ? trying to find one with the features your's have but could not find any that loaded LOL. maybe i am in Spain and spaniards are too poor to fill their car up with all that tech
Good luck finding your future car!
@@Limito10 thanks.what is the trim level called :)
@@yolbulucu I do not think it is a specific trim level. At least I can not find any information about that. I just know they ticked every option available in Sweden for GTE at that time, except DCC and DAB radio.
@@Limito10 ohh i see thank you. very cool video by the way.
Not really full option, doesn't have nappa leather front seats that are heated and COOLED. And its missing seat heating in the rear. But besided that is has everything from what I could see. Definetly a great car. I have the 2020 gte in a sedan version.
heating stering wheel. heating front glass Menu climatronic function
You are missing the steering wheel heating function, which is very nice to have in cold nordic country.
Heated steering wheel was unfortunately not available on GTE model.
passat restyle has, it works terrific! grate car
And ventilated front seats and heated rear seats
full leather seats with front seat ventilation, wooden trim panels
This car has seat trim cover in Alcantara/leather Vienna and interior trim panels in aluminium.
you should get the 19 inch original Rims. its called Verona
Yes, they do look very nice!
I cant see "comfort" in driving mode... Dont you have dcc?
No, that is missing unfortunately. 🙁
Heated back seats?? Ventilated front seats?
Heated back seat or ventilated front seats were not available on GTE. Only massage on the drivers seat.
What is with DCC? That is the chassic control, you can do your Passat in the Comfort Mode or hard/Sport Mode and in te normal mode
Yes, correct.
Does it not have DAB radio as well? thus support for digital audio broadcasting, which means a radio without audible noise in Sweden, also means more channels from Swedish Radio (SR)
No it does not. DAB radio is missing.
One thing is missing that my Passat b8 have. The heated steering wheel. 😉
Heated steering wheel was no available option on GTE, unfortunately.
@@Limito10 OK. I didn't know that.
And heated rear seats. But still, great car. Congrats
@@mariuscociuba Heated rear seats were also not an available option on the GTE, unfortunately. Seems that all electric driven heating options were cancelled on the GTE. 😞
Hello, great review. Do you know if is possible to change the analog dashboard to a full digital on a 2017 GTE. Thank you
Yes it is. I have seen a lot of videos showing rebuilding to digital dashboard. Even more videos on Golf than Passat.
Where are the heat in the steering wheel.?
Heated steering wheel was no available option on GTE.
Hi there, I have the same model as you and sometimes an ‘engine management fault’ (orange code) appears on my virtual dashboard. Sometimes in appears and then it goes away. What is it in your case, if I may ask?
I haven't seen any error messages on my car. You probably have to plug in an OBD reader to read what the error code says.
@@Limito10at the 3.30 mark in your video it shows the engine error. Is that normal? Because that is what I also see with my model passat gte
@@A.Bou-nw1wp I see, I have not noticed that before! It seems to lighten up when the ignition is on but you are not running. I guess it will disappear when you start running?
NO DCC/ Predictive ACC / Rear Heating Seats / Acustic Windows. Still have alot of bells and whistles 👍
Predictive ACC was definitely not an available option in 2017 but I have installed it afterwards. See here th-cam.com/video/OJPy7gkTQyU/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Limito10. Rear Heating seats was not available on GTE. It has Acoustic windows. It was standard on GTE. No DCC correct.
@@Limito10 sorry skipped that video, pacc is an awesome feature.
I didn't know that acoustic window was standard feature. You should definetly run a small video for that feature. I have recently ordered and have them installed, what a difference!
You can have dcc feature, it may cost you around 2K €. For a fast car like this, it should make difference.
Great car anyways 🥰
No heated backseats
I don't think heated backseat or heated steering wheel is an available option on GTE. :-( Correct me if I'm wrong?
@Limito10 how many km has it driven? I am also planning to buy a used one and I'm curious what would be the range if it has driven e.g. 150 000km.
Were there any problems with the car for you or for the previous owner? I mean if there was anything more expensive changed?
What is your average el. consumption (kWh/100km) in the city and outside the city?
I would be driving a straight road to the city where 90km/h is allowed and then a bit in the city, so I think 40km would be enough.
Is the charging time really 5 hours? If i drove twice a day to the city I wonder if I will be able to charge it twice with 230V charger. I don't want to use the fast charger.
My car has gone about 70,000 km but I do not think that the battery is affected much by either age or mileage.
I have not had to change anything in addition to normal wear parts such as brakes and tires. I do not think previous owners had to change anything more expensive either.
Electricity consumption depends largely on how fast you drive and outdoor temperature. The most optimal is if it is around 20°C so that you do not need to heat or cool the cabin and drive around 70-80 km/h. Then the consumption can go down to 1.7 kWh/100 km, but if you drive on the motorway in winter, the consumption increases to about 2.8 kwh/100 km. A petrol or diesel car consumes more when you drive in the city compared to a country road, while with an electric car it is the opposite.
You can not charge more than 2,000 W with a 10 A fuse and then it takes about 5 hours to charge 10 kWh.
I do not think you can manage to drive all 40 km completely on electricity if not all conditions with temperature and speed are completely optimal and barely even. In that case, I would have opted for a model year 2019 or newer that has a slightly larger battery of 13 kWh. But it's not the whole world if you have to drive the last kilometers on petrol either, maybe?
@@Limito10 the newer ones are out of my budget. Sure it is not a problem if I drive a while on petrol, but I want to know if it makes sense to me to buy it. Otherwise I have a 2.0TSI, which consumes about 6.5l/100km. So I am thinking whether it makes sense to me to change it.
If you say in optimal circumstances it takes only 17kWh/100km, then with the 10kWh battery it could make 40 even 50km, or not? I'd drive to city at 80-90km/h and in the city it depends on traffic. On motorway I wouldn't expect it to drive purely on el.
@@igor256 I think only 8.8 kWh is used of the battery so you will never get 50 km and probably not 40 km either. I think you can count on an average of 35 km range. But even when you drive on petrol it uses the energy and charges the battery when you brake etc. and together with the fact that this is only a 1.4 liter engine, it probably comes down somewhat in consumption compared to your 2.0 TSI. I drive it quite easily at 5.5 l/100 km on petrol only and yesterday I was down to 4.7 l/100 km.
I do not know the cost of petrol and electricity where you live but here in Sweden you can estimate if you are running on petrol the cost will be:
0.55 l/10km x 2.3 EUR/l = 1.3 EUR/10 km
and on electricity:
2.8 kWh/10km x 0.11 EUR/kWh = 0.3 EUR/10 km
so you save 1 EUR every 10 km you can run on electricity.
@@Limito10 today we have petrol for 1.9EUR/l and electricity 0,20EUR/1kWh (probably less with higher consumption).
1.4l is probably more efficient, but the empty car weighs 1700kg vs. mine 1500kg.
Still not bad. If some good deal comes up, I will buy it probably.
You're right 8.8kWh is used. The new model has 13kWh and uses 10kWh.
Thanks for your comments.
@@igor256 if you drive the hybrid on mixed conditions you can get 4-4.5l/100km.
Sir I have a question I hope you can answer I don’t like plugging in to say little and waiste my time I bought this car waiting for it same like yours fully loaded I like driving as petrol and hybrid only mode can you explain how many miles can I do if I do full tank 500 miles I am in uk and which mode is the best to drive in hybrid normal gte or which one currently I have Prius so it’s automatic switches thanks
I'm not sure I understand your question correctly but the car always starts in electric mode, but you can manually force it to start in petrol mode if you like. When the battery is empty after approx. 35 - 40 km (22 - 25 miles), it automatically switches to petrol mode. The tank holds about 55 liters, if I remember correct.
@@Limito10 thanks for your reply what I meant to ask is I don’t wana use plug in want to drive just petrol and hybrid mode right what do I expect in full tank how many miles
@@Letseatbyaky With a 55 liter tank and an average consumption of 5.5 liters per 100 km gives you a range of 1000 km or 620 miles.
Oh ok thanks for the reply can’t wait excited for my car
There is no back seat heating ;) - but must be for full options ;)
I had to go back and check but could not find that back seat heating was an available option on GTE MY2017 in Sweden. Please correct if I am wrong?
@@Limito10 maybe GTE didnt have this option
@ Maybe, but it sounds wierd
This one does not have ventilated seat...
Ventilated seats were no option on GTE, model year 2017.
Anyway you can make the same video but with a skoda superb please?
Quite difficult as I do not own a Skoda Superb, unfortunately :-(
video muito bom
Is this the r line ?
R-line is not an option on GTE. The back looks like on the R-line but the front with led C-lights is unique to GTE.
Is it reliable?
I haven't had any problems whatsoever.
@@Limito10 nice
Only issues I have had are the seat base collapsing from the last owner and the boot latch failing to lock both have had to be replaced. Also have a spot of rust on my boot edge and my radio sometimes when you get in and turn on the ignition puts a loud blast of static/digital noise through the speakers. Oh and also the volume control on the radio is slightly useless as when it gets old it goes all over the place (bad quality rotary encoder at a guess) mine is a 2016 get 190 TDI.
Smart phone inductive charging over the Qi ?
Only available on MY2019 and onwards.
Does it also have dynamic indicators?
No, it does not.
Hi if you don't mind me asking what country are you from?
I'm from Sweden.
@@Limito10 I love the car im from the US and I have a 2017 us spec passat and its like night and day different
@@mrchris7277 From what I understand it is a very different model in the US. Its interior is more like the European B7 model, right?
@@Limito10 it is, its actually built in the US my profile pic is my car, its a very good car though
@@Limito10 its really interesting to compare the two to see the differences
Greqt optioned car,but what about front ventilated seats and rear Heated Seats?Did you specificaly not order them or it wasnt available...My B8 has Acoustic Glass,Heated Windscreen,Cooled and heated Front seats,Rear heated seats,auxhillay heater,but no Heated Steering wheel. I Bought mine used with only 30.000km and i was wondering why the Previous Owner didn't also upgrade to a Heated Steering Wheel since he upgraded basiclly everything else that can be cooled or Heated?Do you have any information about this since you bought yours New?Im very interested to hear. Also,you inspired me to get a GTE front Bumper For My B8,Mine is a Highline so it just has the basic front Bumper.
Thank you! My car has acoustic glass. It was standard on GTE. Heated steering wheel, heated rear seat, heated windscreen was not a possible option on GTE. I think VW may have limited the high energy consumption options on the hybrid? Good luck if you go to upgrade your front bumper.
Är det dags att byta snart? Kanske till salu? =)
Jag har egentligen inga planer på att byta till något annat i nuläget. Jag är väldigt nöjd med GTE:n och allt "lull-lull" som jag tycker är lite roligt.
@@Limito10 Kan tro det. Jag sitter och kollar begagnade GTE nu. Dom med både lane-assist och area-view verkar vara lätträknade. Har du koll på vad som krävs för att active lane assist ska fungera? För jag ser att vissa bilar har extra sido-sensorer precis brevid hjul-huset.
@@tydlig De extra parkeringssensorerna vid hjulhusen fram och bak krävs för att du ska kunna ha Park assist, att den t.ex fickparkerar själv. För att få active Lane assist måste bilen vara utrustad med kameran i frontrutan ovanför backspegeln.
@@Limito10 Toppen! Det verkar ju logiskt när du säger det. Sen är dom säkert bra allmänt vid parkering för att få extra trygghet. Men om man har area-view kanske det räcker.
@@tydlig Jo, jag värdesätter nog Area-view högre än Park assist. Dynamic light assist värdesätter jag också högt. Bekvämt att slippa fundera på att blända av i mörker och med alltid perfekt ljusbild runt mötande trafik.
Please check your video. There is no sound and no narration.
i think he want it by only text ;)
There is sound but I'm too shy to talk myself!
What are the 4 right sided blind switches for, if this Passat had all the acc's you could order.......?
In fact, I've never seen them used on the Passat B8 prior to facelift! On the facelifted model 2019, when the clock and the row of buttons under the clock were removed, some of these functions were moved to the right of the gear lever.
@@Limito10 In my 2017 Passat I have the button for heated steering wheel on the right side of the gear shift console.
@@silviutesu8044 Thanks for the info.
That same detail might be used in other VAG cars, e.g. audi or porsche and there would be some buttons there
Does audi have a similar car? So a hybrid
I think Audi has some hybrids nowdays. Audi A3, Q3, Q5, A6, A7, Q7, Q8
How long can drive with hybrid full charge ?
It depends very much on the speed you drive and the outside temperature. If, for example, you drive on the motorway at 120 km/h and it is in the winter when the cabin is also heated, you will perhaps reach 25 to 28 kilometres. If you keep a lower speed and it's in the summer, you'll get maybe 35 to 40 kilometres.
The later models after 2019 have a larger battery and then you will go somewhat longer.
Headed windshields is missing
Heated windscreen? It is not available on GTE, perhaps because you can preheat the cabin using the heater when you are connected to electricity or the heater running on petrol when not connected to electricity.
So, you don't have heated steeringwheel?
Heated steeringwheel was unfortunately not possible to select on Passat GTE.
I didn't know that. Nice car, mine doesn't have that much options, but my steeringwheel feels nice in the cold wheater😃
@@mariusdumitru5232 I agree,the Heated steering wheel is an awesome feature in Winter,but instead of the heated steering wheel i went with the Ventilated seats.But I have the Parking Heater so for me it isnt really all that necesary but I would like to get that...
How much did that cost? And how far does the battery go during nice weather?
I did not buy it new. Around 40 km. Shorter during winter time.
@@Limito10 thank you
What color is the paint?
It is Indium grey metallic, R7H.
17:00 can have it the heated steering wheel ?
Heated steering wheel was no available option on GTE.
Diesel version have it.
I see your GTE has a pre-heater. Is that a real pre-heater (standheizung) or is it pre-heating through the battery? All the GTE's here pre-heat through the battery while charging up.
How many things do you have on the car which you dont use on a daily base, since its fully equippped. :D
When the car is connected to electricity, I can heat the car in advance using the We Connect app, but I can also heat the car with the pre-heater that runs on petrol when the car is not connected to electricity.
I actually think I use most of the features and each one is good in its own way. No, I never use the seat massage. Have probably never ever tested it except when I made the video. :-)
@@Limito10 I see... So you have both, nice.
My Passat B8 2.0TDI isnt as equipped as yours, but I literaly use everything everytime I drive.
No ventilated front seats
Not available for GTE model year 2017, at least not in Sweden.
Cat got your tongue??
English is not my native language and I'm too shy to speak it in a youtube video. :-)
Endlich mal ein richtiges Auto in Schweden was? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oh and I don't like the sat nav, and how it's top down display functions , Google maps are the best , I,ll be honest I don't use vw sat nav also with the vw service on a few things you have to pay to use them , nope not doing that .
A lot of sensors for experienced drivers you don't need, there just selling gimmicks .
ALL you need is parking sensors, and no rush attitude when reversing .
Another thing for me, i don't like electric seats as I never use them if at all
And the radar can slow the vehicle down with auto braking for no reason, ie railings side of road on say 50 mph road , also don't need side mirror warning of cars on approach
There's for me I don't need them or use them
One thing I hate is auto stop , just annoying,
