Is a VW Passat B8 Variant 1.5 TSI OPF Conceptline DSG a good city car?

VW Passat B8  Variant 1.5 TSI OPF Conceptline DSG

regular on the road in city? Here it above all depends on the vehicle dimensions, but also on comfort features such as parking assistance and connectivity.

With a length of 4773 mm and a width of 2083 mm, it is increasingly difficult to find parking spaces in German cities. Tight turns in particular are becoming a challenge. Even parking assistants are only of limited help. The turning circle of 11.7 meters makes maneuvering in tight spaces even more difficult. Appropriate parking assistants such as a 360-degree camera and parking sensors should definitely be on board.

The vehicle has electronics and assistants that make parking automatic, i.e. self-steering, if desired. Parking sensors are installed in the front and rear, and also on the sides. A rear-view camera is installed, which automatically displays the image in the infotainment system when reversing.

Rating: The dimensions of the VW Passat can make it a real problem when maneuvering space is at a premium. Parking sensors, parking assistance like self-steering systems and at least a rearview camera are all on board with this vehicle and help in tricky situations. If you move around a lot in the city and have to rely on public parking spaces, you won't do yourself any favors with this car.
