Volkswagen has added the ‘Match’ and ‘Black Edition’ trims to the Passat eHybrid range, replacing the ‘Life’ and ‘R-Line’ trims.

Extra equipment on Black Edition models is worth £4,905, but the price remains at £48,900.

All models have wireless phone charging, adaptive cruise control, a rear view camera and massaging seats.

Passat eHybrid models are powered by a 1.5-litre TSI engine coupled to a six-speed automatic direct-shift gearbox (DSG), with a 19.7kWh battery.

Power output is 204PS, however a 272PS variant is available on the Black Edition trim for £51,420.

All-electric range is 83 miles for 204PS cars and 77 miles for 272PS cars, while the battery can be charged from 5% to 80% in 26 minutes.
