Take as a basis
To begin, choose a body. Sedan is still considered the most prestigious format in Russia, although the versatility of the wagon is undeniable: its scope is much wider. It is only a pity that the extra charge for Variant is too high - from 104, 000 rubles for the Trendline and Comfortline versions to 115, 000 rubles for Highline. So we still consider the sedan to be a reasonable optimum, since its huge trunk of 565 liters can be increased due to the separately folding back of the sofa, behind which a really wide opening is found.
Deciding on the engine is much simpler: the base 122-horsepower engine of modest volume thanks to the turbocharging gives enviable characteristics - the 1.4-liter Passat goes around, for example, the more powerful 2-liter Mazda-6 or Accord - and even 161- strong 2.3-liter Mondeo. Nevertheless, it is worth recognizing that the lack of torque can be felt when fully loaded on suburban highways, when you need to quickly overtake. In addition, such a motor can only be obtained in the base Trendline, for which it is impossible to order even a small part of the small list of options that this machine is destined for.

Another thing is time-tested and more than sufficient power 152-horsepower 1.8-liter engine! A torque of 250 Nm is already available at 1, 500 rpm, making it easy and simple to control traction even in a metropolis. In addition, the not-so-impressive herd under the hood turns out to be more active than the two hundred “horses” of the 2.4-liter Accord. And this particular motor should be recognized as optimal.
Flagship 210-strong “four” TSI, endowing the “Passat” with a youthful retirement (7.6 s to 100 km / h), is the destiny of those who need a car for long march-throws with full load. But even those burnt drivers who, by the will of fate, had to transfer from a hot "lighter" of a "golf" class to a more family car, will not be disappointed in such a car. However, winning per second in acceleration to hundreds will cost too much - 362, 000 rubles.

Finally, the 170-horsepower 2-liter turbodiesel, combining (like the 210-horsepower TSI) exclusively with the automatic transmission, is a symbiosis of tremendous economy (quite real 4.5 liters per 100 km outside the city and up to 8 liters in the city) and excellent dynamics. comparable to version 1.8TSI. But all the benefits are covered by an impressive surcharge of 262, 000 rubles, which cannot be repelled by a modest fuel consumption in ten years.
It remains to choose a complete set. Already the basic Trendline, which can only be obtained with the 1.4TSI engine, is equipped with extremely bad equipment: 6 airbags, ABS, ESP, air conditioning, good “music” and power accessories, including heating of the front seats and windshield. “Comfortline” implies a surcharge of 134, 000 rubles, which in addition to the more powerful 1.8TSI engine includes 2-zone climate control, alarm, alloy wheels and many useful little things that make the car more representative and comfortable.
In principle, this particular version could be considered optimal if it were not for the modest surcharge (only 67, 000 rubles) for the top-end Highline. Only one leather interior can be appreciated with this money! And in addition to it should be a good dozen options, which by and large comes for free. We don’t consider even the fact that we won’t be able to get a “Highline” with a manual gearbox - after all, with a DSG fast-firing robot, the car does not lose dynamics at all, but at the same time it wins a little in economy. Finally, it is the “automatic” Passat that will be easier to sell second hand.
Thus, the most profitable option today is “Highline-1.8TSI, in addition to it, you will not have to order anything at all - the car is already well packed. And this turns out to be very helpful: we would not like to go much beyond 1.2 million rubles.
Volkswagen Passat, from 859 000 rubles
Recommended:
COLOR METALLIC (18 940 RUB.). Not so cheap. However, if you recall that a similar color, say, for A4 will cost almost two and a half times more expensive, then the price will seem acceptable. You can save only those who are satisfied with free acrylics: white “Candy” or dark gray “Urano”. A relatively small 5240 rubles. You can get red tornado enamel.
PACKAGE "TECHNICIAN" (53 210 RUB.).. A very favorable offer, which should not be refused. It has bi-xenon adaptive headlights with LED daytime running lights, parking sensors in a circle and individual tire pressure sensors It should be noted that a prerequisite for choosing a package is the simultaneous ordering of the Multimedia package.
PACKAGE "MULTIMEDIA" (18 060 RUB.). This is an RCD-510 MP3 radio with a color touch-screen display, a CD changer and an SD card slot, as well as a color display of the on-board computer with advanced functions. Even if the order of this package was not tied to the “Technique” we had chosen, it would still be worth taking: the basic RCD-310 with a blue display is not very well combined with the white-moon illumination of the instrument panel.
PAINT “TORNADO” (5240 RUB.). If you choose this color, then not only save in comparison with the metallic. You are guaranteed an exclusive - red "Passat" is extremely rare on the streets of our cities.
REINFORCED TONING OF REAR GLASSES (10 690 RUB.). Even factory tinting still worsens visibility at night and in bad weather. But in any case, this is better than sticking a film anyhow where, and even often for a lot of money.
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION OF THE PREMIUM PHONE (22 390 RUB.). For optimum it is not necessary. However, if you like to chat behind the wheel - order.
SIDE PILLOWS FOR REAR PASSENGERS (12 550 RUB.). We cannot discourage from such an important element of passive safety, but the Passat already has window cushions for front and rear riders. Do you need additional insurance - decide for yourself.
PACKAGE "COMFORT" (29 370 RUB.). There are grouped cruise control, sofa heating, 230 V power outlet, curtains on the rear side windows, as well as on the rear window with electric drive. Since cruise control cannot be obtained separately, those who really need it will have to order this package. However, if you often carry passengers in the back seats, the choice of such a package will look more justified.
SYSTEM OF CONTACTLESS ACCESS to the passenger compartment and engine start “Kessi” (21 150 RUB.). It’s convenient, of course, but this money is better spent on something more practical. And your soul is calmer when you unlock the doors yourself with the key.
REAR VIEW CAMERA including front and rear parking sensors / + CAR PARKING SYSTEM (36 890/51 980 RUB.). For the best option, eight sensors in the front and rear are enough, the work of which is more than informatively displayed on the color display. In addition, we ordered a profitable Technician package, and the cost of the parking sensors included in it cannot be deducted.
PACKAGE "MULTIMEDIA" FOR NAVIGATION (77 820 RUB.). This is the name of the RNS-510 system with GPS navigation, a 40 GB hard drive and the ability to watch movies on DVD. For the best option is too expensive.
ELECTRIC DRIVE OF ADJUSTMENT OF FRONT SEATS (34 490 RUB.). Already in the basic equipment of the Highline, the front seats are equipped with an electric drive for adjusting the height and tilt of the back, so there is no need for such an excess.
LEATHER “NAPPA” SALON / WITH PUNCHING AND ACTIVE VENTILATION (30 480/41 520 RUB.). Highline Alcantara and leather trim at Highline in basic equipment is an excellent option that does not require additional costs.
