New Volkswagen Passat eHybrid Match and Black Edition Trims Available to Order from 14 August

Western & Barnetts Volkswagen introduces feature-packed new eHybrid models with exceptional value

From Thursday 14 August, customers at Western & Barnetts Volkswagen will be able to order two exciting new additions to the Volkswagen Passat eHybrid lineup: the Match and Black Edition trims. These new versions replace the outgoing Life and R-Line eHybrid models, offering significantly more features at no additional cost.

The Match and Black Edition eHybrids include extra equipment worth up to £4,905 over the previous trims, giving customers even greater value. Thanks to improved residual values, monthly finance payments (via Volkswagen Financial Services) could also be lower—subject to terms and conditions.

Premium Features at No Extra Cost

Already equipped with a long list of standard features—such as wireless phone charging, massage seats, digital radio with IDA voice assistant (now enhanced with ChatGPT integration), and Park Assist Plus with memory feature—the new Passat eHybrids now go even further.

Additional features on the Passat Match eHybrid (compared to Life trim, worth £3,890):

• Metallic paint
• IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights
• 65% tinted rear windows
• Assistance pack with Area View and Emergency Assist

Additional features on the Passat Black Edition eHybrid (compared to R-Line trim, worth £4,905):

• Metallic paint
• 19-inch Leeds alloy wheels
• Panoramic sunroof
• 90% privacy glass in rear windows
• Winter package: heated front and rear seats
• Head-up display and 15-inch infotainment screen
• Assistance pack with Area View and Emergency Assist

Both trims are powered by a 1.5 TSI 204 PS hybrid-petrol engine paired with a six-speed DSG automatic gearbox, while the Black Edition is also available with a 272 PS engine option.

Impressive Electric Range & Fast Charging

Every new Passat eHybrid is equipped with a 19.7 kWh (net) battery, capable of delivering:

• 83 miles (204 PS) and 77 miles (272 PS) WLTP electric-only range
• Charging from 5% to 80% in just 26 minutes using a 40 kW DC public charger

That’s more than enough to handle most daily journeys with zero tailpipe emissions.

• Passat Match eHybrid: £44,555
• Passat Black Edition eHybrid 204 PS: £48,900
• Passat Black Edition eHybrid 272 PS: £51,420

A Legacy of Excellence

Now in its 53rd year of production, the Volkswagen Passat has firmly cemented its reputation as one of the UK’s most trusted and awarded vehicles. Since the ninth-generation model was unveiled in 2023, it has collected multiple accolades—including Estate of the Year, Tow Car of the Year, and a Safety Award at the 2025 What Car? New Car Awards.

Volkswagen continues to lead the UK market as the best-selling new car brand for four consecutive years, with 166,304 new vehicles registered in 2024 (Source: SMMT).
