2017 Volkswagen Passat 206TSI R-Line review | CarAdvice

- What you see here is not one of those ‘bottom-of-the-line’ models you’d get from the big three German luxury car manufacturers - in fact, it’s got the same hot-four 206kW engine as the Golf R and is a true semi-prestige, value-for-money hero. This is the latest Volkswagen Passat 206TSI R-line.

I wish we got this Passat, it would definitely make a statement here in the US
don t worry, the new gorgeous arteon is going to make way to over there
Why not a TDI?
ThatGearHead it looks pretty here in Europe, saw one at the Dennish Palace very Premium looking
No way, americansike cheap cars
I picked up the wagon R-Line. Overall very impressed with a few exceptions. Go the 18" wheels if you can as those 19" wheels rock your body hard but are a delight on that rare smooth Sydney road. I've picked up an annoying vibration (turbo?) from inside the front drivers side dashboard, otherwise it's pretty quiet. Not impressed with either CarPlay or Android. In less than a year of ownership I have a blown pass side window winder motor and a rear cargo light never worked. Also, the drivers side rear door trim was not installed over the headliner correctly but this stuff will be corrected and fixed under warranty. Dreading dealing with VW Service as I heard mixed reviews. Overall very happy with the car. Not quite BMW or Audi but a bargain for what you get.
Were those issues resolved and have you experienced any other gremlins since? On face value this model looks like a lot of car for the $
hello! What camera did you shoot this with?
good job vw for beating all other cars in this class, in quality drive dynamics and practicality. But, it needs a reliability improvement!
From personally driving one for a day as a loaner car it definitely had some go
I have a 2017 r-line Passat...love it...I have been experiencing shaking when braking the vehicle at anytime... Had it checked for brakes. Routers. Idle arms...it's all in good condition.... Help! What else can it be???
Sounds like a warped disk..
Can you get James Ward to review the new VF2 SS commodore
H Maccas .9
What colour is this?
was the engine spec
the head rests in the front seats don't go all the way down, that really upsets me!
In blue and a wagon would be my pick
Whats your take on the "Dual Clutch" ? Is it a problem like the Focus one is/was? We just got rid of a Ford Focus because it's Dual clutch was a nightmare (2 clutches in 2 years.) Our new Focus with it's torque converter transmission is fantastic! I otherwise love this Passat!
Billy Sims I own this car and I would say VW has improved a lot on their DSG. VW has take seriously all the complaint about the failure previously and biw seems no more issue in their DSG
chill out on the hands
Nice.
in person them lines are legit.
I had this car since Nov, test drove an A4 Audi and with similar specs it was $93,000, no contest, everything is great except the audio quality of the sound system.
hey guy just one question, which is the fuel consumption in L/100 km at 140 km/h-150 km/h ?thank you
This will sell so much of they sold something similar here in the US
A really slow R Line?
For what it does it ticks the boxes... It's not claiming to be a sports car by any means.. and 0-60 time of 5.5secs is very good, taking into consideration the size of it... not a lot of hot hatches hit that sort of time..
best car. but now arteon looks more smashing
Seeing the nee arteon, i would rather wait than to get this. But otherwise, its a good car
Is the 206 TSI R Line that fast with 206 bhp?.
Pagan Monkey it’s 206kw
Or 276bhp
they sudnt have adopted wierd engine naming like AUDI IMO ... and sir virtual cockpit was showcased first on vw mqb before AUDIs .... and its one of the best always
Cyril Matthew most audis n VWs use the mqb platform nowadays and VW owns all that tech anyways. But if i can recall wasnt the new TT and then the new A4 the first cars to have them in Australian market??
OfficialMINIm im australiam market u may be ..iam not from there brother ... mqb platform on sedans was first introduced as a prototype in first twin turbo diesel of vw group the Passat biturbo in 2015 and phideon ..however commercially mqb passat wasnt launched in many countries ...A6 utilized it first
Yeah this has always annoyed me. "Audi's Virtual Cockpit" no...
Seb Shelley u mean naming ??
I prefer the Audi graphics over VW though
VW should bring this Passat to the US not that ugly US spec
Importing these will bankrupt VW's US division. Keep the large "ugly" shitbox appliance where it belongs.....in North America!
If you didn't realise, the one sold in Australia costs nearly $50000 USD. At that price, you can keep your $30k POS.
Omar Chakkour they leave the best in Europe and make the not so good looking ones in the US
don t worry, volskwagen is going to take the new gorgeous arteon into usa
Omar Chakkour that's available in 7 trims in the Malaysia my country and Europe the base entry level is the Trendline, the mid range the Comfortline and the top of the range Highline is a close call between first class and of course there is a lot of optional packages like the R Line, Technology Pack, Performance Tuned and Luxury + Technology
Someone tell him to stop over emphasizing words when he moves his hands.
He learned it from Trump
A M that's HUUUUUUUGE, and TREMENDOOOUS
👏👐🙌🙏
Painful
It a shame we can’t get this in America we got the cheep VW Passat mine is a 2014 🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️🙆🏽♂️
Great. now review the customer service that comes with that car.
The US version is a fine car. Quit your bellyaching fanboys. Although that blue is missing from US choices, I'd take that blue over the side crease any day!
Why did he keep comparing it to compact cars like the A4, C Class, and 3 Series in the beginning? The Passat is mid-size, not compact.
If je compared it to the A6/5-series/E-class, the price difference would have been huge. He wanted to emphasize how much more you can get for your buck.
@@mehimre9249 if he wanted to emphasize the low cost, then comparing it to the much more expensive E-Class, 5-Series etc would actually aid that goal even more!
I would prefer TDI
I find the rear slightly ugly, but defiantly a nice machine
The driving dynamics of this 206kw are not great.. it’s a cruiser,, not fun to throw in corners
The interior and exterior are just like the Amarok
My r-line looks nothing like this one.
That's what we need in the u.s.not the bull$hit we have now
doesnt matter what it has or how good it is, its a volkswagen, not a bmw or mercedes and a volkswagen will never have the prestige or cachet of those other brands...period..
6spd dsg is an old implementation no ..now its 7spd dsg +
the 6 speed is used in higher performance motors because it is wet clutch and can handle more torque that the 7 speed cannot.
Super_Slav i d k about that either ... the 6spd dsg was used in old Pq 35 implementations .... still jetta,superb diesels used it , rest are driven by 7spd dsg moreover the 2016 (latest) audi a4 Tfsi uses upgaraded 7spd dsg ...atlear thats what reviwesrs said ...it has about 350mn + torque in stock tuning
@@REPOMAN24722 there are different 7spd.
Up to 250 NM is dry, over that it's wet 7spd
@@cyrilmatthew2995 the 6spd mechatronic like to fail and are I've 1g to fix
@@dragospahontu tsnx to ford and vw for making dual clutch a nightmare .... all dsgs are designed to fail
Why are the American ones so basic?
Faster than a 370z?? Lol if you say so
In answer to your last question Tony. . . the brand.
Volkswagen "Cough cough" thanks for trying to kill me you assholes
Every time I watch youtube and see an ad that I can't piss off after 5 seconds, I go on a hunt and rubbish the advertiser...
Passat in Viet Nam: goo.gl/BHKzMs
OMG 666 LIKES!
Did the designer miss his grandpa..for him to still this vw..it looks like a irobot grandpa face..horrible...
Not my cup of tea though... Passat should be much cheaper to be attractive.
not with the insane tech it has
The only optional extra is the paranormic roof, everything else is standard and you 206kw, I will say it worth every cents and it's interior looks better than 3 series.
It is all about perception. BMW was far cheaper than MB and nowadays it is not a surprise to find BM cost more than MB, even 7 series sometimes is cost more than world best car S Class. High price perceived to be of high quality and Passat comes with high tech and quality finishes (most of them are standard, that you would dream of, from other German trio) that you would not find in the current 3 series and C class. Check the reports on the number of problems you will find in the new car, the new Passat has far fewer problems compared to other German trio. Golf used to be cheaper, as they use more quality material it is now no longer cheap and VW is selling them in large quantities.I remember buying a C class, by the time was done with the options, it ends being more than the 30% of it base price and C class base models are not attractive at all and you even pay for splitting the rear seats into 60/40.I am saying again Passat worth each and every cents.
what's not to like?
* it uses 98 Ron fuel
* Volkswagen's recent history.
* extremely poor customer service.
* there is no way Passat even compares to the competition. Way over priced.
You took the words out of my mouth. Good luck getting anything done if it really breaks.
No Way are you stupid? The 2016 Volkswagen Passat TSI Highline last year in Malaysia just compared with the Audi A4 TFSI, BMW 320i and Mercedes Benz C250. Did you know that?
No Way and it got 2nd place in that comparison the Highline with Technology Pack rocks it to first place!
American Lover but in the US they're automatically taking off $5-6k bc of their recent controversy. Easy to come in low $20,000s.
promote your business here literally no one here in europe gives a shit about the "scandal" still the most sold car in my country every year :D
