Sorry folks, I meant to say Golf R for the DQ381 gearbox, not GTI. This was correctly mentioned in the previous Passat Elegance review, so you guys are absolutely right. Sorry we let that slip, it was my mistake. 🙏🏻

No worries. Cheers!
Cheers bro!
Passat, simply unbeatable in its class. What a great car.
Good job to Matthew speaking the on road performance of Passat R Line rather than on paper in 8:26. Among all car reviewers in Malaysia only you pointed out this fact.
In fact there is difference of Asian car vs European car in term of horsepower measurement. Asian car like Japanese, Korea, China etc measure the horsepower from crank (engine output only and exclude of curb weight) while European car is measure thru on wheel diagnose. On wheel diagnose counter off the curb weight of the car. For example Civic 1.5T on paper is 173ps on paper but on wheel diagnose it only get 155ps. CRV 1.5T 193ps but after on wheel diagnose it only get 142ps. Despite of CRV (2WD) having higher hp than Civic but it was 230kg heavier which slash off the on wheel output.
For European car like Passat 1.8tsi B8 180ps on paper after on wheel diagnose it get 189ps. These info get from DME tuning. Therefore this Passat R Line 190ps is accurate output on paper and on wheel at least.
If based on European car measurement Accord 1.5T on wheel should be around 160ps at best. That will be 30ps lower than Passat 190ps. Now it can be answeed why Passat is almost 1 and half sec quicker than Accord in 0-100km/h. Accord is a little bit heavier than Passat by around 40kg only.
Thanks for the info!
Today I learn
That’s something new I learnt today 💯
Thanks for highlighting the extras over the elegance and the comparison in ride comfort. Cross-shopping between the two variants.
Ride comfort in Comfort mode in R Line supposed to be smoother and comfy. I think the culprit is low profile 19" tyres. An 18" higher profile comfort tyres would definitely make a big difference. He said the R Line can't absorb potholes and big bumps..Large tyre low profile should be the issue
The interior and exterion design are superb, nice review as well.
Nice review bro! Another great car from VW! 👏🏻
Wow super elegant and comfy from exterior to interior design, Nice!
Nice review, It looks elegant! ❤️
Awesome review Matthew 👍
It really carries the best spec among its peers. What left concerns to me will be the reliability and value retention
wow!! the features is so wow!!
The best Car in the segment
100 % 🔥🔥
zzz
The most boring in the segment
Best car in the segment! VW number one 😘
Interesting review, looks elegant!
Amazing review ❤️❤️
@Matthew Tong, which would be your next car choice if u were to choose? Just curious
2:43 that's very annoying background music.
Ya, it was fine at the start but its really annoying overtime.
Give a break, dont expect them to play lullaby la.
Hope their video editing team takes note of this. The background music was so annoying that I got headaches from it and I had to mute my speakers and turn on the captions. 😂
Such great models, let's go VW!
Hey paultan can you please show us on how to use the proton link app on either the x70 or x50
The wheels are stunning
Ito yung sasakyan na pag nakita mo sa daan mapapalingon ka. Alam mong mamahalin at gnda ng quality.

Great car design by Volkswagen!
This is the best car for me nice VW
Is that a Seiko diver watch?
Volvo XC90 T5 2021 Review pls🥺
Volkswagen design looks great.
i love it!
Enough about AEB! It is really not necessary if the car's body rigidity, built quality, chassis durability, airbag deployment and crash safety development is good. Cars like the Perodua and all the Japanese cars with AEB need the tech, because they are not build to the same high standard. Paultan needs to stop promoting AEB as a necessity. Instead you guys should do more research on how a car is developed. You are still more likely to die in A Perodua or any Japanese cars with AEB, in a crash compared with a VW or Volvo. That, son is a fact!
Totally agree. VW's are far safer than all those cars with AEB and other gimmick technologies. For instance in Malaysia alone, less people die in VW's compared to cars with AEB such as Malaysian, Japanese and Korean cars. VW cars are built like a tank. You can be rest assured you are safe, as long as you drive safely!
I owned a Passat HL but I think AEB should be included since this R line hit 200k mark. In fact can install original AEB module outside which comes with ACC function for RM3k only (plug and play).
But 1 thing not many people highlight about AEB. AEB is an extra safety kit we should not over rely on it as it may not function properly sometimes. Not only for VW but other brands as well. As a driver eyes should not leave away and should act accordingly. And in Malaysia road condition if you leave a 2 cars space in highway (safety distance) there are chances others cut in. In this case AEB may sudden jam brake as it sense an object suddenly appear. If without AEB we just leave the gas pedal or slight brake to keep back safe distance.
AEB is good but sometimes can be annoying too. I install the AEB module because my intention is the ACC function.
@@alifhashim3752 cause less people buy VW's duh.
How it can close to Skoda Superb
Good video 👍
Oh no, since the host mentioned Sonata, now i am contemplating between Sonata and this!
Matt, please review Arteon r line..
Love the exterior design!
Beautiful damn
Good review, but the background music (*of the first half of the video) is very noisy and annoying.. should use more classy ambient music next time, guys..
What a nice car!
Kenapa video thumbnail kerete Hyundai Sonata? Confused
All types C charging? Amazing!
Thinking to buy r line but b7 was a nightmare to me , lack of confidence to buy volkwagen, any current owner can give advise , how about the interior quality and thr fixing , any funny sound due to the poor installation ?
DQ381 is shared with the MK7.5 R, not the GTI.
Is it quieter now per the wheel well issue sound deadening or tire roar you raised last year with the Elegance?
They sound pretty similar, actually. Tyre roar on the R-Line may be a tad better, but it's not a meaningful uplift, nor a deal breaker -- Matt.
@@paultanautonews thanks Matt you're a world class reviewer. I'm a M'sian living in the US and M'sia. You do me proud.
Nice car. Perfect investment.
great car❤️
what a great car
Hey,can i request a car?btw i want you guys to review the ford everest 2.0 bi- turbo please,thank you!
And there you have it, idea for the next video, a head-to-head😏
Exterior & Interior very pretty😍😍😍
Great car! But the prices are close to the Arteon. Although the Arteon is missing a few extra kit such as automated rear blinds, blindspot monitoring, etc., the Arteon is definitely the better looking car and it handles better (test driven both, my personal opinion).
How about throttle response and ride comfort? Arteon or Passat better?
For me i will definitely go for arteon over this passat r-line. The reason is it look better, frameless door & actually not a big different in spec & price between those car. Like you say, passat does have blind spot & rear blind but for me those thing is not really a big deal. If passat have autonomous system then it worth to go for the passat. Plus arteon have 360 camera & better speaker too. I will either go for passat elegance to save money or just go for arteon for the look because in terms of the spec there is not much of the different & both car drive well.
@@nashrulaqil4365 How is the ride comfort and refinement of Arteon? Is it nearly comfy as Camry?
@@royalprince5878 I’ve test drive the Arteon R Line. The ride is hard as it use low peofile tires.

Whoever thought to include this music deserves to be fired.
Fired? U think you're Donald Duck Trump is it?
WORDSSS 💯😂
angas ng volkswagen!
Good investment!
Nice
audi and vw my best choice
How close is this to an Audi A4?
On the interior side,it has the same long aircond vent same as the Passat too
They have to make it less premium than the b9 a4
No sun roof? Wet clutch or dry clucth?
It’s a wet clutch.
What watch are u wearing??
It’s a Seiko Sumo! Specifically the model SBDC069 😄
🙏👍👏🤲❤️💚❤️🤲👏👍🙏
🙏👍Thank you for wonderful video👍👍👍
Prepare to clear your annual leave and dealership as your frequent visits
8:10 FALSE. The local spec facelifted GTI still comes with dq250. Only the 7.5R comes with dq381
What is with the background music ? Some stone head sound editing
Why review something which VW announced its discontinuation of the passat line?
Is there even a non-VW car using VW plates here?
The background music makes me high
LMFAOOO. Same here 😂
Matt got tan line
am I the only one who is not a fan of its BGM? 😂😂😂😂
Why they all look the same over the years?
It doesn't absorb harsh impacts??? Lol so different from my test drive experience. It was really supple
Dear volkswagen Co.
I'm a volkswagen fan.
I like passat got sunroof. Why this passat R Line doesn't have a sunroof? Other than that why passat R Line doesn't have such like...No Lane Keeping Assist, No Autonomous braking system, No Auto parking...just a basic driving car only?? Lol...C'mon volkswagen...even proton X50 also got these features. C'mon Mr Volkswagen, is time to bed out and smell the coffee.
This or 320i??
Personally I will say Passat unless you concern about resale and reliability all. Warranty for BMW is about 5 years but any car no matter whatever makes will have some sort of hiccup. Parts can be sort out I believe even after warranty ends. Volkswagen, ford, Alfa Romeo have always had bad reputation in Malaysia in recent years and due to that these vehicles price In secondhand market plunge tremendously. Anyway thanks to that so that I can afford these vehicles on my driveway lol....just get it mate if you like that car, and keep a MYVI as a spare car too...
Better than bmw 5 series.
XDA auto Cruise
The poor service provided is also my bad experience

VW = Visit Workshop
@footballcoreano no problem with my old polo 1.2 tsi of 9 years besides the usual wear & tear
Do you own one?
Lol they replace the analog clock with that cheap Passat logo.
More electronics..more problems.
Vw after sales service is garbage half the time the technician don’t even know what they are doing
Latency during streaming videos from youtube or netflix is a sign of VW failured to cope with nowadays cutting edge tecnology. Go to learn from Hyundai if you still cannot resolving this matter. One more thing you never 'boast' about ADAS in your competitors because, nothing to offer here. What is your Nurburgring lap record time if you dared to publish it here?
This model will be discontinue in 2023.
Fugly 😅
VW after sales service is soo horrible. Avoid this brand.
Used to be or even is?
Dont talk nonsense. Do you own one or serviced one recently? I have a VW for the last 7 years. Excellent service and spares.
@@cleanenergyinside1921 How about your car quality and reliability? Easy to maintain? Too many hates against VW.
@@royalprince5878 Its cheaper to maintain than a Camry or Accord.
Why were you wearing a mask. Completely unnecessary as you were outdoors for a lot of this and, crucially, on your own. Ridiculous and the message you send out hinders global recovery. Think things through in future.
