Design.

01 02 04

The minute you set eye s on the Passat, your heart will beat faster. The exterior

boasts power and charisma, with the wide track widt h and low-set front end

all produc ing a strikin g appearance, givi ng a hint of the driving pleasure to

come. The gle aming chrome-plated radiator grille sur round (01) is a real

design highlight, reinforcing the stor y. The rounded in- set headlights add an

extra touch of style, with the rear lights using LED technolog y (04) for clearer,

brighter light. Add to that the confident shape of the C pi llar (02) and the

curved breakaway edge of the rear, giving real body definition, a nd the story

of aerodynamic design and sp orts performance is complete.

It’s not just aesthetic app eal where the Passat excels, however. Innovative

design is also paramoun t. Right from initial developme nt, many feature s

were desig ned to contribute to safe ty, such as the V-shaped engine b onnet,

providing integral pedestrian protection. And the greatest attentio n was given

to the smallest detail, resul ting in such speci al touches as the e legantly shaped

body-coloured door handles and door mirrors with int egrated LED in dicators

(03) and the minimal g aps between panels. With the galvanised body providing

a 12-year warranty ag ainst corrosion, it’s all testi mony to Volkswagen’s

legendary build quality and precision approach.

Interior.

The inter ior of the Passat has been carefully designed to e nsure you feel at home

as soon a s you sit behind the wheel. Mo dern trims and beautiful decor, made from

the fines t quality materials (01) , interplay pe rfectly, suffusing th e interior (05 ) with

a feeling of luxur y and calm. And it’s not simply a question of aesthet ics. Ergo nomic

design ac tually makes drivin g easier. For a start, all the controls are arrange d so that

handling becomes intuitive, take for example, the newly design ed leather trimmed

three-spoke multifunctio n steering wheel allowing cont rols of the multifunction

computer, audio syst em and optional t elephone preparation (04). T he white lit

instrumen t panel is wi thin your immediate field of vision , giving you all the

information yo u need while driv ing – from the speed of the veh icle to the

temperature outside. The electron ic parking brake with auto hold function – which

automatically holds the vehicle when you come to a stop on a hill and then releases

as you pu ll away (02), press and drive ignition (03) a nd front electric windows (06)

are also p ositioned for ease of use, a nd operate literall y at the touch of a button.

The same degree of ease and comfort can also b e found i n the seats of the Passat.

Easily adjustable a nd fitted with head restraints you’re guaranteed maximum support

whichever seat you choose . In fact, the Highline’s 6-way elect rically-adjustable

driver’s seat is surpassed only by the 12-way elect rically-a djustable seat on R36

models. B oth offer adjustment s for lumb ar support and seat back angle, enabling

you to sit back and relax, en joying the most ergonomically beneficial position for

your spine.

Generous i nterior space is another contributory factor to overall c omfort, w ith the

transverse ly mounted engine providing more room than ever before for passenger s

and luggage, and giving all occupants signi ficantly more legroom . Should you need

to transport bulky objects or luggage, the Passat offers an impressive capacity of 565

litres* (5 41 litres* on R36 models). In addition, a n ovel stowage c oncept provides

extra space in the vehicle interior, enabling y ou to store maps , sunglasses and CDs

in the do ors, front seat centre armrest on Highline and abo ve, overhead console

or centre conso le.

The RC D 310 radio/MP3 compa tible C D player with e ight sp eakers

and AUX-in socket for conne ction to an exte rnal mu ltimedia source

(e.g. iPod and M P3 player) will ensure enjoyment on any journey.

More comfort, m ore safety and, above all , more driving pleasure. That’s what you can expect from

the Passat S, where a whol e host of standard fittings prov ides everythi ng you would expect – and

more – from an extraordinary ca r. The front windows a nd heated door mir rors are electrically

operated, the boot lid opens automati cally with remo te operation, especially useful when

you’re loa ding larg e amounts of shopping, and the press and dri ve key allows you to start the

engine simply by pus hing the key. In addi tion, the rear seat backrest with its integral centre

armrest sp lits 60:40 al lowing it to b e folded down in separa te sections, ideal if you’re lo ading

up bulky items, and the four-s poke steering wheel individually adjusts to yo ur optimum driving

position. And that’s just for starters. Also fitted as stand ard is an RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible

CD player with eight spe akers and AUX-in socket for connection to an external multimedia source

(e.g. iPod and MP3 player), ‘Climatic’ semi-automatic a ir conditioning, electronic parking brake

with auto hold function and alarm wi th interior protect ion and remote central locking.

Driving the Passat S is a n even more enjoyable experience. One reason is certainly the 16 inch

‘Milwaukee’ alloy wheels with 215/55 R16 tyres, guarante eing dynamic handling and appe arance.

Another is the eye-catching interior, with its ‘Dark Rhodium’ inlaid decor and whole array of

practical stowage trays and storage compartments positione d in the doors and overhead console.

To ensure driving is not just p leasurable but also worry-free, the Passat S ben efits from many

special safety feature s, such as electro-mechanical power-assiste d steering, WO KS (whiplash-

optimised head restraints) in the front, f ront airbags with front passenge r airbag deactivat ion,

front seat side impact airbags, curtain airba gs, and an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP).

As you can see, Volkswagen have th ought of ever ything – all you have to do is concentrate on

enjoying the drive.

The BlueMotion 2 Passat b uilds over the already well equipped Passat S and, in addition,

offers impressive en vironmental credentials by intelligently refinin g existin g technology. Dynamic

lines redu ce the vehicl e’s air resistance and, comb ined with eng ineering refinements, low rollin g

resistance tyres and lowered suspe nsion help produce exceptional economy. A Start/Stop fun ction

is also fitted in plac e of the auto hold function – this automa tically stops the engine whe n the

vehicle is sta tionary and restarts it when you pull away, savin g fuel and reducing emissions.

A combination of all these refinements delive rs a package that o ffers excellent economy up

to 57.6 mpg over the Combined fuel cycle*, and the 2.0 litre TDI 110 PS engi ne, with DPF (Diesel

Particu late Filte r) fitted as standard, ensures C O

emissions are from an impress ively low 128 g/km .

The BlueM otion 2 Passat a dds a higher specification which is evident from its st ylish ext erior,

with 16 i nch ‘Sarena’ alloy wheels wit h 205/55 R 16 low rolling resi stance ty res. Internally, for added

convenien ce, there is also cruise control and a multifunction computer (Highline) which includes

visual ge ar change recommendation s for optimum fuel consumpt ion.

The multifunction comp uter (H ighline) includes visu al gear

change recommendation for opti mum fuel consum ption.
