Just what you unexpected.

You’ve probably never driven a Volkswagen like this Passat. Sure, there have been others before,
but never one like our latest expression. Never one designed in Germany specifi cally for the U.S.
market. And then built in a state-of-the-art plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Never one with
such a premium feel and still within everyone’s reach. And certainly never one that was named
the 2012

That’s the Power of German Engineering.

Within reach. Grasp the contoured, multi-function steering

wheel and your hands intuitively assume a comfortable,
natural position controlling the Passat and the entertainment
system. Believe us, it’s much harder to let go.

Everything in the balance. The balanced proportions of

the Passat are part of what gives it an elegant, premium
quality. Your eyes follow the strong character line and
continue around the whole vehicle. Kind of explains why
you can’t keep your eyes off of it.

A good blueprint. The available leather seating with Dinamica

inserts has an extremely soft texture and feels good to the touch.
And since the inserts are made with recycled materials, you’ll
feel pretty good about them too.

Design

®

You feel a draft? Not everyone can always agree on the

right temperature. That’s why the Passat has an available
dual-zone automatic climate control system, so the driver
and passenger can adjust things just the way they like it.

Design is all around us. It’s in everything we
touch. Everywhere we look. You see it in our
cars. And when you do, you realize good
design doesn’t just make a car better. It makes
life better. More enjoyable. And in the end,
an indispensable part of our lives. Take a look
around to get a better picture of what we’re
doing. All by design, of course.

Your day is filled with a lot of activities. Good thing the Passat
is filled with things that make it more comfortable. Whether
you’re running an errand downtown or just driving to the beach,
the Passat is right there with you. Step inside and you’ll find
available soft leather to soothe you. An available sunroof to let
the open sky in. And luxurious touches to make any drive even
more tranquil. The only thing you’re not comfortable with?
Getting out of the Passat.

Is there anyone happier than a Passat driver? We’d say the passengers come in a close
second, third, fourth, and fifth. Starting with the best-in-class rear legroom — that’s over
three feet for family, friends, and carpool buddies to quietly stretch out back there.* And to
make it even more impressive, there’s a whole list of available premium features to keep
that space inviting, refined, and oh so premium. Maybe you can be all things to all people.
