3rd November, 2015
Volkswagen Australia has released the all-new Passat. The eight-generation
Passat sets new standards in terms of VW's design, technologies, engines and possibilities.
Exterior
The exterior of the new Passat has been built to make a design that conveys style with
contemporary finishes. The new Passat was made based on the modular transverse matrix (MQB). Its proportions were made
to be more dynamic (including lower body, longer wheelbase and larger wheels) and its overall package has been improved.
While preserving all of its functional qualities, the new Passat has gained noticeably in presence and is distinguished
by a number of external visual cues that enhance the vehicles sophisticated appearance. With the new Passat, Volkswagen
has made a sedan and wagon that both cross over into a higher vehicle class.
Interior
The interior has been developed with the aesthetics and quality to match the overall
concept. Based on several new design solutions such as a concise continuous horizontal band of air vents and advanced
technologies such as a Driving Profile Selector, App-Connect and an extremely low-profile ambient lighting strip – the
interior has a more modern and exclusive appearance than ever.
