It's good but it lacks a bit of 'umpf' if you feel me. It only has 150 hp. But it's more then enough for cruising and daily tasks, only weird thing I noticed is the sound.. When you accelerate it feels like you are driving a electric car, the sound you hear doesn't feel 'real' hard to explain
I'm just chosing between this one and 2.0 TDI and don't know which one. After years on diesel and now having a B8 2.0 TSI I feel very comfy with petrol engine. But 2.0 TSI is still not available (I like to have a plenty of power in backup, but I'm more let's say "ECO" kind of driver). I must order it as a company car this month, so I must now chose from these two 100 kW variants only available in my budget :D What will you recommend?
Question you need to ask yourself is 1 how many kilometers/miles will you do on a monthly basis. So that will decide if you would go Diesel or Petrol 2. If you do go for Petrol and you want to be ECO and still have enough power you should go for the Mild Hybrid it will help with the power but also being Economically. I would recommend the 1.5 TSI eHybrid with 177HP it’s more then enough and very economical! I myself drive the Golf Variant with 1.5TSI fuel economy is so good so I can imagine dailying a 1.5TSI eHybrid is just the perfect combination.
@@DrivingViews Hello, thank you for your answer. I thought about eHybrid also, but as it's technologically ahead of the basic engines, it's price is set a bit higher and it's over my budget :(
I understand! If you do a lot of kilometers then I would go for the Diesel engine, if not then go for the Petrol engine, all by all it is an amazing car! Very comfortable and luxury!
How is your feeling about 1.5 eTSI onboard the new Passat B9? Good or not?

@@DrivingViews 150 hp ? It says 177 hp on their website.
Correct, when we drove the Passat, there were only 1.5l engines at the time but now you can get 2l engines with 130kw (174HP)
@@DrivingViews This also a 1.5l engine.
