The all new
Volkswagen Passat
The Volkswagen
Passat is set to arrive at Pulman Volkswagen in January 2015 and we can’t
wait. It’s the eighth of its generation
and is available to order now.
The New Passat
is built of the revolutionary MQB platform meaning a range of new technologies
will be available. New technologies include; Car net guide and inform – an in
car connection to the internet via a smartphone Wi-Fi spot which provides the
driver with online traffic data, news and weather which can be accessed through
the colour touchscreen infotainment system. Another new feature the Passat
boosts is traffic jam assist which brakes, accelerates and steers automatically
easing the strain for the driver in stop and go traffic. Other new features include predictive
pedestrian protection, emergency assist and trailer assist.
In addition the
new Passat benefits from a range of new efficient engines meaning a reduction
of up to 14 percent in C02 emissions. The
Passat comes in a range of diesel only engines with the entry engine being 1.6
litre unit producing 120ps and is available in a 6-speed manual gearbox and 7
speed DSG transmissions. A brand new Bi-Turbo engine coupled with a 7-speed DSG
gearbox and 4MOTION is also available, producing 240PS and with a 0-62mph
acceleration speed of 6.1 seconds.
Despite exterior dimensions marginally
smaller than those of the previous Passat, interior space is improved, with
more leg and head room, as well as increased luggage space. The interior has
been developed to match the sophisticated exterior through the use of high
quality materials and a design that creates an air of spaciousness. The new
Passat comes with high specification as standard with a dramatically styled
R-Line topping the range.
