Top 10 Luxury Cars in India

Passat with its sculpted look and taut surface provides an air of sophistication that leaves cars like the Skoda Superb looking distinctly pedestrian. The interiors are classy like all cars wearing the VW badge. The 16-valve, 140 bhp, 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine provides adequate punch, especially in the mid-range where the torque flows thick and fast. It comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission and an estimated fuel economy of 10/13.5 km/l (city/highway). VW has armed the Passat with a new set of clothes, better performance and features that will propel it from a mainstream European saloon to a more inspirational one. But, one innovative feature that will be appreciated by buyers in India will be the electronic parking brake. The Passat is imported directly from Germany, but after VW finally puts a factory in India together, the Passat could be made from knocked-down kits, which would lower the customs duty and hence, the current starting price that is close to Rs 23 Lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
