2010 Paris Motor Show: Volkswagen unveils next generation Passat

2011 Volkswagen Passat

Volkswagen revealed the seventh generation of the Passat at Paris. It gets a fresh front grille and headlight treatment, and more chrome and new tail-lights at the rear. Interior has also been revised.

The line-up of petrol engines comprises a 1.4lt 120bhp TSI, a 1.8lt 158bhp, and a 2.0lt 207bhp TSI. The diesels are a 1.6-litre motor with 104bhp.

The new Passat will be offered with a Manual or DSG gearbox. VW says the new Passat will offer safety features normally reserved for luxury vehicles, including a “city emergency braking” function that automatically slows the car at speeds below 18mph when it senses an impending collision. A fatigue detection system will also be offered as standard on the majority of the range.
