<p></p><p>Hits:</p><p>1) It’s the cheapest car in India to get 9 airbags,
360-degree parking camera and massage function for driver seat.</p>

<p>2) Powerful and proven combo of engine and gearbox (177 HP + 6
speed DSG).</p>

<p>3) Even the base variant is safety laden: 9
airbags, all wheel discs, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), ESP (Electronic Stability Program), EDL (Electronic Differential Locking), TCS (Traction Control System),&nbsp;LED headlights with Adaptive Front Lighting System, auto-dimming internal and external mirrors&nbsp;and few more.</p>

<p>4) 'Air-breeze' between the side and centre AC
vents. Helps the cabin cool faster.</p>

<p>5) Feature laden! Here are some of them: Practical
sedan: Bi-beam LED headlights, Nappa leather upholstery, 60:40 split rear
seats, 4-way adjustable front armrest, extended under thigh support and
ventilation for front seats, all-black leather, 3-zone climate control,
360-degree camera (camera on all the 4 sides to get a bird’s-eye view of the
car), semi-auto parallel park assist and many more. &nbsp; </p>

<p>Misses:</p>

<p>1) It's a CBU hence expensive!</p>

<p>2) No option of petrol engine, manual transmission
or beige interiors. The latter is loved by our people. Plug-in hybrid, Passat
GTE, might come to India next year. </p>

<p>3) It's sibling, Superb, looks sportier despite
having bigger wheelbase.</p>

<p>4) The rear looks more evolutionary than
revolutionary.</p>

<p>5) Sadly, we don’t get Active Info Display (full
LCD instrument cluster like Audi's Virtual cockpit) and head-up display. Plus,
the audio system could've been better. It doesn’t get a sub-woofer or central
speaker; Superb gets the same.</p><p></p>
