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.

Car of the Year.® That’s when you realize, you should never say never.

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.

front and
backseat drivers.

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.

• Best-in-class rear legroom*

• Leather seating surfaces with Dinamica inserts**

Don’t sweat the
small, medium,

Let’s face it, we all have our share of stuff. And the Passat is the perfect vehicle to handle it
without breaking a sweat. Pop open the trunk and take a look. It can fi t two sets of golf clubs,
picnic gear galore, or even a double side-by-side baby stroller. You’ll fi nd the inside of the
Passat just as accommodating. There’s space in the available backseat armrest where you can
store your iPod or notebook. And even a hidden driver’s side compartment for your sunglasses
or wallet. The Passat is one size that fi ts practically all.

Power to the people.

Power is an amazing thing. Especially when you can
share it with everybody. And when you’ve got three
great engines to pick from, there’s more than enough to
go around. Choose between the perfectly balanced
170-horsepower 2.5L, the 280-horsepower V6 for more
oomph, or the 2.0L TDI Clean Diesel for maximum
effi ciency.* They all have that perfect precision that only
comes from German engineering. And that can only
mean one thing: You’re really going to enjoy driving it.

To make the V6 engine even more exhilarating, and
to up the ante on some of the TDI models, we’ve
coupled them with the DSG® transmission with
Tiptronic® for imperceptibly fast gear changes and
seamless acceleration. We’d actually understand if
you didn’t want to share those with anybody else.

43 highway miles per gallon and up to 795 miles on a single tank*— that’s more than any other
passenger car on the road. All without sacrifi cing one bit of turbocharged performance. You
could call that better than the other fi ve cars on this chart. We would call that a clean sweep.

with the raw emotion of a live performance. Get ready
to take the show on the road.

to make concert-

Solid example. You know solid construction when you hear

it. That “thunk” the door makes when you shut it tells you
everything you need to know about the way it’s engineered.

Please use responsibly. The new VW plant in Chattanooga,

Tennessee, was built using sustainable and responsible
environmental practices. And it’s the only LEED
certifi ed auto plant in the world right now. Talk about
making a fresh start.

®

Platinum-

There’s no doubt that the Passat is the result of sound engineering. In fact, you
could say it’s all about the sound. The sounds it makes. The sounds it doesn’t
make. The sound system. And of course, the sound feeling you get when you
know you’ve made a good investment.

Sound investment. Every new Passat comes with a 3-year

or 36,000-mile no-charge scheduled maintenance plan.
We call it Carefree Maintenance. And one of the best
things you’ve ever heard.

At your convenience. With the available keyless

access-equipped fob in your pocket, simply grab the
door handle to unlock it. And once inside, simply
press the ignition button to start the car.** Don’t worry,
we’ll still let you do the driving.

Quiet, please. Diesel engines are incredibly effi cient.*

And with VW advanced engineering, this also means a
quiet ride. We all like the sound of that.

Safety

Information Provided by:

You know that German engineering you admire under the hood?
It’s actually throughout the entire car. There are more than a dozen
safety features specifi cally designed to help you prevent a collision.
And even more to help protect you in the event of one. So no matter
what happens, we’ll do our best to help keep you safe.

(

Electronic Stability Control

oversteer or understeer during an evasive maneuver by
applying corrective forces to each of the wheels. In other
words, it helps you maintain control when you need it most.

ESC). ESC helps prevent

ABS and HBA. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) helps

to keep the brakes from locking up during sudden stops
and helps you retain control over the steering during
emergency braking. Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) works
with ABS to help ensure that you get the maximum
braking power from the brake system.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). The TPMS

helps monitor tire pressure and alerts you when it is
too low. Properly infl ated tires greatly increase safety by
helping create better stability, handling, and braking in
almost all situations.

Surrounded by safety. In addition to airbags,* every

Passat has a specially reinforced safety cage complete
with anti-intrusion side beams and heat-formed B-pillars,
designed to help protect you in the event of a collision.
Surrounding that are crumple zones that provide space
and material to help cushion and absorb the impact
while the safety cage insulates you.

*Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all crash circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. **The Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS) will only activate in a collision where the airbags deploy or safety belt

pretensioners activate. Not all collisions cause airbags to deploy or safety belt pretensioners to activate. †“Top Safety Pick” based on 31 mph side-impact crash test, 40 mph frontal-offset crash test, 20 mph rear-impact test, roof strength testing, and the availability of ESC. Test performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety. For details, visit www.iihs.org. See vw.com for more information on safety features.

Intelligent Crash Response System (ICRS). After the

airbags* have deployed in the event of a collision, the
ICRS automatically unlocks all doors, disables the fuel
pump, and turns on the hazard lights.** That’s why we
call it intelligent.

2012 IIHS Top Safety Pick. The Passat is one of the

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Picks.
Actually, it’s one of nine 2012 Volkswagen models to get
their top rating. That means all nine cars scored the highest
rating in all four qualifying tests. That’s 36 instances of
superior safety.

No-charge scheduled Carefree Maintenance.

Changing your oil, rotating your tires, topping off the windshield
wiper fluid — do you remember to do all that stuff? Your car does.
Right there in your instrument panel. Both it and your dealer will let
you know when it’s time to schedule your appointment. And for
three years, or 36,000 miles, we’ve got you covered. That’s why
we call it carefree. Come by for a courtesy vehicle check within the
first 90 days, or 6,000 miles, and ask us any questions you have
while we give your Passat a basic checkup. Then, come by every
year, or 10,000 miles, for your remaining scheduled maintenance
checks. It’s that simple.

* The Volkswagen Carefree Maintenance Program covers the vehicle’s scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000

miles, whichever comes first. Coverage during the term of the new vehicle limited warranty at no additional charge. Some
limitations apply. See dealer or vehicle maintenance program booklet for details.
