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.
