Design

We designed the new 2016 Passat to be better than most. With

premium quality and craftsmanship in every refined detail, you’ll

find the little things make a big difference.

Interior

Leave no briefcase, bag or bongo drum behind. The new Passat

has enough room for you, your family and whatever you want to

bring with you.

Performance

A turbocharged 1.8 TSI® engine and available 3.6 FSI® engine make

sure that while the new Passat is a family car, it doesn’t have to drive

like one.

Safety

The new Passat comes equipped with a sophisticated array of

safety technology to help ensure that you, and your loved ones,

are secure.

You already know that it takes balance, dedication and flexibility to build success, both at the office and at home. But what you probably don’t know is that a car can be built on the same principles. The new 2016 Passat combines a sophisticated, professional aesthetic with practical flexibility. It’s the perfect ride for business 9 to 5 and family 24/7.

Unforgettable sophistication.

On the road. Always within reach.

There are no small technological steps here. Only giant leaps. Whether you’re rocking out on your family road trips with our available

Fender® Premium Audio System, or seamlessly connecting your favourite devices with the intuitive App-Connect – we’ve added

the kind of technology that makes every ride better.

App-Connect (Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay™, MirrorLink™)*

Connect to the things that matter most.

The intuitive interface and voice command

actions let you easily search online for

songs, directions or even your favourite

restaurant. So you’ll keep your eyes on the

road, and not on your screen.

Available Discover Media*

The new Discover Media infotainment

system combines next-generation

navigation with in-car media entertainment

and App-Connect functionality, all

controlled from its easy-to-use

6.33" touchscreen colour display.

Available rear USB port

If you want a USB port for your rear seats

– we’ve got one. Because no matter how

long or short your journey is, you should be

able to listen to your music from beginning

to end.

*Do not drive distracted.Speakers shown for information only. Actual speakers vary in shape and size.

Available Fender® Premium Audio System

The 8-speaker system will have you feeling like you’ve got the best seat

in the house. Or in this case, the best seat on the road.

Leading by design.With a silhouette that’s stylish and sleek, the new 2016 Passat is designed to turn heads and bate breath. And it does both in German-engineered spades. Striking the perfect balance between family-oriented and professional, it’s a sedan that’s as well adjusted as you are.

Available LED headlights with Daytime Running Lights (DRL)

Brand new to the Volkswagen lineup, these LED lights are

truly our best and brightest. They’re energy-efficient so you’ll

preserve your car battery while enjoying higher visibility. Look

on the bright side and you’ll see a 2016 Passat.

Chrome accents

Look polished with polished chrome

accents. They give your Passat the

sophisticated finish it deserves.

Available power sunroof

Count your lucky stars. Or just stare at

them. Either way the choice is yours.

Detailed to the last detail.There’s no need to stand on ceremony for a refined interior like this. In fact, we’d really prefer it if you’d sit. And once you’ve adjusted the available 8-way power front seats or noticed the abundant legroom available for you and your family – well, you’ll prefer to be sitting too.

Available Titan Black/Golden Oak trim

A two-toned trim package that makes

luxury more luxurious – in case there wasn’t

enough luxury already.

Available Vienna leather seating surfaces

There’s nothing like relaxing in a soft

leather chair after a long day at the office.

And now you don’t have to wait until you

get home to do it.

Ample rear legroom

Get a leg up on legroom with back seats

that let you pile in and stretch out.

Available 8-way power front seats with memory for driver’s seat

Adjust your seat to your back’s content.

(See what we did there?)

Available leather-wrapped steering wheel

Never take your hands off the wheel

again. And not just because it’s wrapped in

leather. The music, navigation and settings

are all close at hand.

Available interior ambient lighting

There’s nothing worse than bad lighting.

So we made sure to have good lighting.

It’s all business on the road.

In the new 2016 Passat, sophistication and excitement are two sides of the same smartly refined coin. With a standard 1.8 TSI® engine

and available 3.6 FSI® engine, the exact amount of “oomph” is yours to decide, but no matter what you choose, performance is always in

the palm of your eagerly anticipating hand.

Radar sensors trigger a blinking symbol on

your side mirrors that warn you when an

object enters your blind spot.

for the front seats, and side curtain airbags

for the back seats, no matter where

you’re sitting we’ve got you covered from

multiple angles.

camera installed above your licence plate

on the back of your Volkswagen, you’ll

be able to see what’s behind you when

you’re reversing.

On the safe side of safety.Because we know your most precious cargo isn’t your cargo, we fitted every new 2016 Passat with an impressive array of safety features. Your family is in good hands – or in this case, in the hands of some of the safest technology around.

Available Adaptive Cruise Control*

Adaptive Cruise Control is genius (if we may say so). It uses

sensors to detect the vehicle ahead, and then automatically

adjusts your speed to always keep you at a safe distance

without ever needing to adjust the gas or brakes.

*Driver assistance feature. Drivers must continue to perform manual checks before proceeding and pay full attention to the road.
