Volkswagen Passat Engines and Transmissions

Volkswagen Passat engine choices span economical petrol units and torquey diesels. A 1.6 MT Sedan with a manual gearbox and front-wheel drive suits everyday commuting, while a 1.9 AT Estate 5-door diesel with an automatic transmission eases motorway miles. Some versions, such as the 1.8 MT Sedan, add all-wheel drive for extra traction.
