2021 Volkswagen Passat 2.0 TSI R-Line review - from RM204k in Malaysia 

Sorry folks, I meant to say Golf R for the DQ381 gearbox, not GTI. This was correctly mentioned in the previous Passat Elegance review, so you guys are absolutely right. Sorry we let that slip, it was my mistake. 🙏🏻

Thanks for highlighting the extras over the elegance and the comparison in ride comfort. Cross-shopping between the two variants.

The interior and exterion design are superb, nice review as well.

Good job to Matthew speaking the on road performance of Passat R Line rather than on paper in 8:26. Among all car reviewers in Malaysia only you pointed out this fact. In fact there is difference of Asian car vs European car in term of horsepower measurement. Asian car like Japanese, Korea, China etc measure the horsepower from crank (engine output only and exclude of curb weight) while European car is measure thru on wheel diagnose. On wheel diagnose counter off the curb weight of the car. For example Civic 1.5T on paper is 173ps on paper but on wheel diagnose it only get 155ps. CRV 1.5T 193ps but after on wheel diagnose it only get 142ps. Despite of CRV (2WD) having higher hp than Civic but it was 230kg heavier which slash off the on wheel output. For European car like Passat 1.8tsi B8 180ps on paper after on wheel diagnose it get 189ps. These info get from DME tuning. Therefore this Passat R Line 190ps is accurate output on paper and on wheel at least. If based on European car measurement Accord 1.5T on wheel should be around 160ps at best. That will be 30ps lower than Passat 190ps. Now it can be answeed why Passat is almost 1 and half sec quicker than Accord in 0-100km/h. Accord is a little bit heavier than Passat by around 40kg only.

Nice review bro! Another great car from VW! 👏🏻

Nice review, It looks elegant! ❤️

wow!! the features is so wow!!

Wow super elegant and comfy from exterior to interior design, Nice!

Amazing review ❤️❤️

Awesome review Matthew 👍

Interesting review, looks elegant!

Passat, simply unbeatable in its class. What a great car.

2:43 that's very annoying background music.

@Matthew Tong, which would be your next car choice if u were to choose? Just curious

good review thanks

Such great models, let's go VW!

It really carries the best spec among its peers. What left concerns to me will be the reliability and value retention

Hey paultan can you please show us on how to use the proton link app on either the x70 or x50

The wheels are stunning

The best Car in the segment

Enough about AEB! It is really not necessary if the car's body rigidity, built quality, chassis durability, airbag deployment and crash safety development is good. Cars like the Perodua and all the Japanese cars with AEB need the tech, because they are not build to the same high standard. Paultan needs to stop promoting AEB as a necessity. Instead you guys should do more research on how a car is developed. You are still more likely to die in A Perodua or any Japanese cars with AEB, in a crash compared with a VW or Volvo. That, son is a fact!

VW my dream car 😍

nice review..

nice review VW

good review

Best car in the segment! VW number one 😘

Thank You Captain 😍😍😍😍

Gotta love the volkswagen!

Super spacious and elegantly car!

Matt how does this compares to Mazda 6 2.5L?

Ito yung sasakyan na pag nakita mo sa daan mapapalingon ka. Alam mong mamahalin at gnda ng quality.

Good video 👍

Waiting for kia forte 2021 review!❤

i love it!

simple and very classy car nice..

How it can close to Skoda Superb

Volkswagen FTW! 🥵❤️

Can do review on 2021 Arteon R line?

Always a good review BUT... Please change the weird techno tune lah! Be safe in C19 too...

Beautiful damn

Matt, please review Arteon r line..

How much downpayment for installment?

This is the best car for me nice VW

Is it quieter now per the wheel well issue sound deadening or tire roar you raised last year with the Elegance?

What a nice car!

Great car! But the prices are close to the Arteon. Although the Arteon is missing a few extra kit such as automated rear blinds, blindspot monitoring, etc., the Arteon is definitely the better looking car and it handles better (test driven both, my personal opinion).

Thinking to buy r line but b7 was a nightmare to me , lack of confidence to buy volkwagen, any current owner can give advise , how about the interior quality and thr fixing , any funny sound due to the poor installation ?

Volvo XC90 T5 2021 Review pls🥺

Great car design by Volkswagen!

great car❤️

Kenapa video thumbnail kerete Hyundai Sonata? Confused

And there you have it, idea for the next video, a head-to-head😏

Oh no, since the host mentioned Sonata, now i am contemplating between Sonata and this!

Is that a Seiko diver watch?

Volkswagen design looks great.

Good review, but the background music (*of the first half of the video) is very noisy and annoying.. should use more classy ambient music next time, guys..

Whoever thought to include this music deserves to be fired.

ganda astig

what a great car

Hey,can i request a car?btw i want you guys to review the ford everest 2.0 bi- turbo please,thank you!

Love the exterior design!

DQ381 is shared with the MK7.5 R, not the GTI.

Nice car. Perfect investment.

All types C charging? Amazing!

Nice

angas ng volkswagen!

No sun roof? Wet clutch or dry clucth?

🙏👍👏🤲❤️💚❤️🤲👏👍🙏 🙏👍Thank you for wonderful video👍👍👍

How close is this to an Audi A4?

What watch are u wearing??

Good investment!

Exterior & Interior very pretty😍😍😍

8:10 FALSE. The local spec facelifted GTI still comes with dq250. Only the 7.5R comes with dq381

audi and vw my best choice

What is with the background music ? Some stone head sound editing

Prepare to clear your annual leave and dealership as your frequent visits

Is there even a non-VW car using VW plates here?

Dear volkswagen Co. I'm a volkswagen fan. I like passat got sunroof. Why this passat R Line doesn't have a sunroof? Other than that why passat R Line doesn't have such like...No Lane Keeping Assist, No Autonomous braking system, No Auto parking...just a basic driving car only?? Lol...C'mon volkswagen...even proton X50 also got these features. C'mon Mr Volkswagen, is time to bed out and smell the coffee.

The background music makes me high

am I the only one who is not a fan of its BGM? 😂😂😂😂

Why they all look the same over the years?

Matt got tan line

It doesn't absorb harsh impacts??? Lol so different from my test drive experience. It was really supple

Why review something which VW announced its discontinuation of the passat line?

This or 320i??

Better than bmw 5 series.

XDA auto Cruise

INDIA

The poor service provided is also my bad experience

More electronics..more problems.

Lol they replace the analog clock with that cheap Passat logo.

Vw after sales service is garbage half the time the technician don’t even know what they are doing

VW = Visit Workshop

Fugly 😅

Latency during streaming videos from youtube or netflix is a sign of VW failured to cope with nowadays cutting edge tecnology. Go to learn from Hyundai if you still cannot resolving this matter. One more thing you never 'boast' about ADAS in your competitors because, nothing to offer here. What is your Nurburgring lap record time if you dared to publish it here?

VW after sales service is soo horrible. Avoid this brand.

Why were you wearing a mask. Completely unnecessary as you were outdoors for a lot of this and, crucially, on your own. Ridiculous and the message you send out hinders global recovery. Think things through in future.
