  • MY2020 Passat for Australia revealed

    Just saw this: Volkswagen Passat 2020 revealed: to hit Australian dealerships in November - Car News | CarsGuide

    Looks like mainly a tech update, oh and no diesels of course

    The other day was looking at the german configurator, 206TSI has been changed to 200TSI thanks to petrol particulate filter. The article said that the 206 remains unchanged. Wonder if they will introduce the particulate filters here. Have read somewhere that Audi will not have them built in cars for Australia.

      It will be interesting to see if VWA are finally forced to introduce Carnet into Oz.

        Thanks for that link, really don't like the front on the series 2 Alltrack.

          Looks nice, but not enough to make me regret buying a 2018.

          What have they done to the analogue clock??

              I like the wheels. Look like the Cadiz from the Golf. It’s a nice evolution but I also have no regrets buying the current one

                I like it.

                Everything changes. If the <2020 models were never released, everyone would likely be saying how awesome the 2020 looks...

                but whether I like it or not is kinda irrelevant since neither my wife or I are in the market for an upgrade.

                  No CLOCK!

                  New R-Line looks bad!

                    My wife said the same thing.... our family all love it.

                    Seems it’s been replaced by a lovely hazard light button.

                      I thought people dislike the clock? I personally dislike the clock design, I wished they changed the design but now they eliminated it.

                        Yeah the clock seemed to be a real point of contention. I much prefer a nice analogue clock (to digital) and thought it was quite a classy touch - like the frameless rear view mirror - but obviously there was enough feedback that VW decided to ditch the ‘controversy’

                            Looks good but like the other posters I won't be replacing my 2018 model alltrack.
                            I think the clock is cool and everyone who rides in it notices it. Quite a talking point.

                              The loss of the clock for a blank insert and movement of hazard light switch just looks cheap, moving the switch insert from the upper dash trim to the former clock, and parking switches down to near the gear selector, looks more of a cost cutting exercise. If it saves $5per car and they make another million before the b9, it saves 5 mill. Little things like this, removal of chrome inserts in switches, reducing seating options and alloy options, discontinuing under seat drawers etc, are all little ways that VAG are achieving savings for the organisation
