As soon as you set eyes on the Passat Estate, size and
space will take on a new meaning. Combining the
practicalities of an estate with the elegance of a saloon,
this exceptional car delivers power and charisma more
successfully than ever before. From the very first glance,
the Passat Estate makes a definitive statement, its wide
track width and low-set front end producing a striking
appearance, giving a hint of the driving pleasure
to come. The gleaming chrome-plated radiator grille
surround, a real design highlight, reinforces the story.
The rounded in-set headlights add an extra touch of
style, echoed through its flowing aerodynamic curves
and rear light cluster incorporating LED technology.
This is a car designed to command attention and get
results. Inside, the promise of the exterior is realised,
with innovative design delivering new levels of
functionality. Nowhere is this more apparent than
in the boot space, where stowage capacity is increased
to an impressive 1,641* litres (1,626* litres on R36
models), with the rear seats folded down.
As with any estate, flexibility and versatility are
paramount, and here the Passat Estate excels, with
a number of different options providing a wealth of
practical solutions. For example, the optional cargo
management system allows you to organise the load
area with maximum efficiency, using an adjustable
securing rail and retractable load securing strap to
create areas of varying sizes and stow items safely
and securely. So, whether you’re looking to transport
luggage, snowboards or simply some shopping, you’ll
find enough space and sufficient fixing solutions to
meet all your stowage requirements.

05. Relaxing: the cruise control system, which is
standard on all models except S, makes driving
even more enjoyable. Speed is automatically
controlled, over 19 mph, enabling you to take
your foot off the accelerator and relax.
06. Functional: the doors can be locked or
unlocked in one simple operation and the front
electric windows have a handy one-touch
opening and closing function for ease of use.
03. Easy: thanks to the press
and drive key, starting has never
been simpler.
04. Convenient: the Highline’s
multifunction steering wheel
enables you to select numerous
functions without taking your
hands from the wheel while driving.
The clearly arranged instrument
panel and controls are also located
directly within your field of vision.
Multifunction steering wheels are
standard on R Line, Highline and
R36 models.
01. High-quality: the luxurious décor
and precision workmanship ensure
an interior ambience that is both
enjoyable and relaxing.
02. Helpful: the electronic parking
brake with auto hold function
secures the vehicle easily and
reliably at the touch of a button.
It releases automatically as soon
as you pull away, preventing your
Passat Estate from rolling back
when hill starting.
The Passat Estate not only tells a story of exceptional
space and load carrying capacity, but also superb
ergonomics and interior ambience. Sit in the driving
seat and you’ll immediately appreciate its intelligent
and convenient design, with the clearly arranged
instrument panel and easily accessible controls,
enhanced by the beautifully co-ordinated, luxurious
décor. In such an environment, it’s easy to feel good.
Carefully positioned for effortless driving, the
electronic parking brake with auto hold function and
press and drive key are where you would intuitively
expect them, close at hand, with parking and starting
operating literally at the touch of a button. For the
ultimate in relaxed driving, the cruise control system
maintains a preselected speed automatically, without
having to use the accelerator – ideal for motorway
driving (standard on R Line models and above). And
with an abundance of storage space within the doors,
roof console and front seat centre armrest (optional on
S and BlueMotion 2), there is ample room to store
maps, sunglasses, CDs and more.
The story of practicality continues. Thanks to the
transversely mounted engine and spacious interior, the
Passat Estate also offers plenty of legroom for rear seat
passengers. Which means, wherever you are sitting,
front or rear, you’ll benefit significantly. Never has size
been more attractively presented, or aesthetics more
practically arranged.

The RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible CD player with
eight speakers and an AUX-in socket for connection
to an external multimedia source (e.g. iPod and MP3
player) will ensure enjoyment on any journey.
The Passat Estate S leaves nothing to the imagination, with a wealth of safety features ensuring
maximum protection and driving enjoyment. The comprehensive safety package includes such
features as an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP),
Traction Control (ASR), speed-sensitive power-assisted steering, driver’s and front passenger’s
WOKS (whiplash-optimised head restraints), and front, side and curtain airbags. Aesthetically too,
the Passat Estate S delivers, with an elegance and style that is both understated and assured.
Distinctive ‘Dark Rhodium’ decorative inserts in the dash and centre console, chrome-plated
instrument surrounds and stylish ‘Calino’ cloth upholstery combine to produce an eye-catching
image, while 16 inch ‘Milwaukee’ alloy wheels with 215/55 R16 tyres guarantee dynamic handling
and appearance. And demonstrating its immense versatility, black roof rails, storage
compartments in the roof console, doors and centre console offer a final touch of practicality.
The Passat Estate S also offers a whole host of standard fittings providing everything you would
expect – and more – from an extraordinary car. The front electric windows and electrically heated
and adjustable door mirrors provide added convenience, the tailgate unlocks automatically with
remote operation and the press and drive key allows you to start the engine simply by pushing the
key. In addition, the rear seat backrest with integral centre armrest splits 60:40 allowing it to
be folded down in separate sections, ideal if you’re loading bulky items, and the four-spoke
steering wheel individually adjusts to your optimum driving position. And that’s just for starters.
Also fitted as standard is a multifunction computer (Midline), electronic parking brake with auto
hold function, RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible CD player with eight speakers and an AUX-in socket
for connection to an external multimedia source (e.g. iPod and MP3 player), ‘Climatic’ semi-
automatic air conditioning, alarm with interior protection and remote central locking. As you
can see, Volkswagen have thought of everything – all you have to do is concentrate on enjoying
the drive.
The BlueMotion 2 Passat Estate builds over the already well equipped Passat Estate S and,
in addition, offers impressive environmental credentials by intelligently refining existing
technology. Dynamic lines reduce the vehicle’s air resistance and, combined with engineering
refinements, low rolling resistance tyres and lowered suspension help produce exceptional
economy. A Start/Stop function is also fitted in place of the auto hold function – this automatically
stops the engine when the vehicle is stationary and restarts it when you pull away, saving fuel and
reducing emissions. A combination of all these refinements delivers a package that offers excellent
economy up to 57.6 mpg over the Combined fuel cycle*, and the 2.0 litre TDI 110 PS engine with
DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) fitted as standard, ensures CO
2
emissions are from an impressively
low 129 g/km.
The BlueMotion 2 Passat Estate adds a higher specification which is evident from its stylish
exterior, with 16 inch ‘Sarena’ alloy wheels with 205/55 R16 low rolling resistance tyres. Internally,
for added convenience, there is also cruise control and a multifunction computer (Highline) which
includes visual gear change recommendations for optimum fuel consumption.

If a sleek, sporty look with a whole host of creature comforts is what you want from your
Passat Estate then the R Line will exceed your every expectation. While still comprising all
of the specification, luxury and practicality of the Passat Estate S, the R Line builds an even
more impressive look, both inside and out.
Five-spoke 17 inch ‘Monte Carlo’ alloy wheels adorn the exterior, along with body-
coloured front and rear bumpers, and additional side sills which give the car a real sporting
essence. Its distinctive exterior is completed by the front grille surround and the double
louvres finished in elegant matt chrome.
Inside, the R Line is a quiet, comfortable and luxurious interior designed to make each
journey smooth and relaxing. The leather trimmed three-spoke steering wheel with chrome
insert features handy multifunction buttons to control the radio and optional telephone
preparation, so everything you need is available at the touch of a button. You can even
control the ‘Highline’ multifunction computer, which offers useful information about your
journey such as range, fuel consumption and outside temperature, all without having to
take your eyes off the road. Cruise control allows you to select a constant speed over 19 mph,
helping you to relax on longer journeys, while the seat height and lumbar adjustment on
both front seats enable you to find the optimal position to remain comfortable until you
reach your destination. A flat tyre indicator is also included, which will alert you via a
warning symbol displayed in the dashboard, while the front centre armrest with two rear
air vents, cup holders, storage box and a handy 12V socket in the rear adds an extra touch
of comfort. Interior shown is R Line.
‘Monte Carlo’ 71⁄2J x 17 alloy wheels with 235/45 R17 tyres
create a sporty yet elegant look to the Passat Estate R Line.

The Passat Estate Highline offers the ultimate in comfort and style. Well appointed and
beautifully crafted, it offers a host of features designed to ensure total driving pleasure
whatever the length of your journey. The 6-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat with
lumbar support and adjustable backrest guarantees the best possible seating position,
while heated front seats with five preset temperature settings and a front centre armrest
add an extra touch of luxury. Sumptuous ‘Vienna’ leather* upholstery is complemented by
a leather trimmed gear knob, carpet mats, and matt chrome decorative inserts in the dash
and centre console with black or grey upholstery, (or brushed stainless steel decorative
inserts with latte or cornsilk beige leather). To ensure stress-free driving, there’s a newly
designed leather trimmed three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and multifunction
computer (Highline), providing essential information as you drive, and to help you relax
on longer journeys, cruise control will automatically maintain your desired speed above
19 mph without you having to touch the accelerator pedal.
From the outside, the Highline can be distinguished by its body-coloured front bumper
strips, chrome satin side window surrounds, chrome-plated side bump strips and rear strip,
while 17 inch
‘
Macau’ alloy wheels with 235/45 R17 tyres add a distinctive finishing touch.
With an exceptional specification that even includes a full size alloy spare wheel, what
more could you ask for?

* Please note that some parts of leather interior will contain artificial leather.

Pure sporting prowess.
Model shown is R36 with optional heat insulating tinted glass and pearl effect paint.
Two chrome exhaust tailpipes give the R36 its characteristic
rear look, a view generally enjoyed by other drivers.
12-way electrically adjustable sports seats, featuring the ‘R36’ logo
woven into the fabric, offer excellent lateral support and provide
total comfort during any journey.
Interior shown is R36 with optional RCD 510 touch-screen radio/MP3 compatible 6 CD autochanger,
telephone preparation and ‘Engine spin’ decorative inserts.
Every aspect of the R36’s luxurious interior has been modelled to meet the highest expectations. Which means
you’ll find a level of interior specification that is second to none, including front sports seats with ‘R36’ logo
and electric 12-way adjustment including memory for the driver, offering a perfect lateral fit and enough
settings to ensure a seating position tailor-made to your personal measurements. Also included are heated
front and outer rear seats, cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, heated windscreen washer jets,
electronic tyre pressure monitoring system and a multifunction computer (Highline).
In the cockpit, ergonomic design ensures controls that are clearly arranged and readily to hand, enabling
you to achieve maximum performance with the greatest of ease. The three-spoke multifunction leather
trimmed steering wheel with ‘R36’ logo and paddle shift, ensures maximum grip and comfort, while the
RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible CD player with eight speakers and AUX-in socket for connection to external
multimedia sources (e.g. iPod and MP3 player) and 2Zone electronic climate control help promote driving
pleasure and relaxation. Dark brushed aluminium decorative inserts on the instruments and centre console
continues the sporting detail, while aluminium-look pedals featuring the ‘R’ logo, white illuminated instrument
panel and door sill strips in stainless steel with ‘R36’ logo further enhance the uniquely designed interior.
Visually speaking, the Passat Estate R36 is as near to perfection as you can get. Inspired by the world
of motorsport, the R36 exhibits powerful proportions, dynamic design and sleek, aerodynamic styling.
The ‘R36’ logo on the restyled chrome-plated radiator grille, roundel surround and louvres, restyled front air
intakes, Bi-Xenon headlights, front spoiler, rear tailgate spoiler and wheel arch extensions create a powerful
road presence.
For those who love the thrill of engine power, the R36 will get your pulse racing like never before.
A light touch of the accelerator pedal is all that’s needed to take the Passat Estate R36 from 0 - 62 mph in just
5.8 seconds. It’s all due to the powerful 3.6 litre V6 FSI engine, channelling drive via a six speed Direct Shift
Gearbox (DSG) and producing a phenomenal 300 PS and 350 Nm of torque. The sophisticated 4MOTION four
wheel drive system diverts every last Nm of torque to the wheel that needs it most, ensuring greater traction
and impressive handling. Combined with sports suspension lowered by 25 mm, 18 inch ‘Omanyt’ alloys, front
and rear disc brakes (ventilated at the front) and a dynamic bodyshape, it produces a level of performance
that’s nothing short of mind-blowing. All together it adds up to one undisputed fact – the R36 is the fastest
Passat Estate on the road today. Isn’t it time you discovered the ultimate adrenaline rush? Sit in the R36 and
you’ll see life from a different perspective, where only the best is good enough. Would you expect anything less?
