Dynamic yet inviting, the 2017 Passat offers sleek
lines and refined styling, including available LED
headlights and corner-illuminating foglights, as well
as a variety of additional design cues to make you
rethink what a family car should look like. All this
while still putting the “fun” in “functional.” Enjoy.

Corner-illuminating foglights

At lower speeds, these available lights can illuminate the direction
you are turning, helping you get a more complete picture of what’s
coming ahead. You may not know what’s around every corner, but
these lights might help you see it better.

LED headlights

Turn heads and illuminate the road ahead with futuristic-looking,
long-lasting LED headlights. The Passat offers these available LED
headlights in low and high beams — 100% LED.

LED taillights

The available LED taillights on the Passat have been styled with precise
contours that perfectly flow with its design lines. The bright illumination
can also help cars behind you know that you’re applying the brakes.

For drivers.
With families.

Laser seam welding

By using the process of laser seam welding instead of spot welding,
seams on a Volkswagen are stronger and more precise. This translates
to a solidly built car.

R-Line exterior

The available Passat R-Line trim steps up the bold and sporty
attitude for even the most sophisticated drivers. With a sporty front
and rear bumper, 19" wheels, and performance design cues, you
may notice an increase in double takes.

A really happy medium.

When packing larger items for a getaway, sometimes you need extra trunk
space. Thankfully, the Passat comes with 60/40-split folding rear seats with an
available pass-through — so you can easily fit skis or golf clubs. Plus, the driver’s
seat with adjustable lumbar support is there to help keep Mom or Dad in their
comfort zone during long drives. And best-in-class rear legroom* lets the kids
have plenty of personal space (you’re welcome, kids). Introduce your family to
the Passat — a happy balance of comfort for all.

Rear seat pass-through

We thought things through. Literally. The 60/40-split folding rear
seats with available pass-through let you haul that pair of skis with
minimal disruption of passengers in the back.

Hands-free Easy Open trunk

Hands full? With your keys in your pocket, just swipe your foot under
the rear bumper and the available hands-free Easy Open trunk
unlocks and opens.

Best-in-class rear legroom*

Even the backseat has its perks. Your friends and family members
ride easy with over three feet of legroom. That’s the most rear
legroom in its class.

of available interior ambient lighting.
