Volkswagen Passat was introduced into the first European markets - Generation One of this bestseller made its first appearance in 1973.
It is a fact that within the past three decades this Volkswagen has become the very image of automotive progress, representing what 'Made in Germany' means.
This image is characterised by vehicle size, drive technologies, safety features such as airbags, ABS and ESP in addition to quality details including galvanized bodies.
The best seller Passat equipped with 1.8L (160 BHP) 'TechnoBest' award winning TSI engine is now available with a 6-speed tiptronic transmission. Those who love a little more power can opt for an R36 which is equipped with 3.6L (300 BHP) with DSG.
The Passat offers an extensive comfort, function and safety equipment package. Including dual-face front airbags, side and head airbags, active crash headrests in front, ESP, central locking system, electromechanical power steering and air-conditioning system.
What happens when designers interpret a clear, logical, intuitively perceivable style with even more power, muscle and passion than ever before can be seen in the new Passat: design united with innovative technologies catapult the saloon into a sportier, more sophisticated, class-transcending dimension in the greatest evolutionary step since the series was first created.
The sixth Passat is therefore characterised by its powerful, avant-garde design. The new VW front section with its chrome medallion-shaped radiator grille and its challenging 'staring' headlights, the athletic silhouette and powerful rear section design represent the biggest design leap that has occurred since the product line was created.
Sensibly complementing highly effective passive safety elements with increasingly intelligent active safety components such as ESP and ACC (adaptive cruise control) results in Volkswagen presenting the new Passat as one of the world's safest saloons.
Volkswagen Passat is now on an irresistible offer with five years unlimited mileage extended warranty and 12 years warranty against rust perforation.
