The minute you set eyes on the Passat, your heart will beat faster. The exterior boasts power and charisma, with the wide track width and low-set front end all producing a striking appearance, giving a hint of the driving pleasure to come. The gleaming chrome-plated radiator grille surround (01) is a real design highlight, reinforcing the story. The rounded in-set headlights add an extra touch of style, with the rear lights using LED technology (04) for clearer, brighter light. Add to that the confident shape of the C pillar (02) and the curved breakaway edge of the rear, giving real body definition, and the story of aerodynamic design and sports performance is complete.
It’s not just aesthetic appeal where the Passat excels, however. Innovative
design is also paramount. Right from initial development, many features were designed to contribute to safety, such as the V-shaped engine bonnet, providing integral pedestrian protection. And the greatest attention was given to the smallest detail, resulting in such special touches as the elegantly shaped body-coloured door handles and door mirrors with integrated LED indicators (03) and the minimal gaps between panels. With the galvanised body providing a 12-year warranty against corrosion, it’s all testimony to Volkswagen’s legendary build quality and precision approach.

The interior of the Passat has been carefully designed to ensure you feel at home as soon as you sit behind the wheel. Modern trims and beautiful decor, made from the finest quality materials (01), interplay perfectly, suffusing the interior (05) with a feeling of luxury and calm. And it’s not simply a question of aesthetics. Ergonomic design actually makes driving easier. For a start, all the controls are arranged so that handling becomes intuitive, take for example, the newly designed leather trimmed three-spoke multifunction steering wheel allowing controls of the multifunction computer, audio system and optional telephone preparation (04). The white lit instrument panel is within your immediate field of vision, giving you all the information you need while driving – from the speed of the vehicle to the temperature outside. The electronic parking brake with auto hold function – which automatically holds the vehicle when you come to a stop on a hill and then releases as you pull away (02), press and drive ignition (03) and front electric windows (06) are also positioned for ease of use, and operate literally at the touch of a button.
The same degree of ease and comfort can also be found in the seats of the Passat.
Easily adjustable and fitted with head restraints you’re guaranteed maximum support whichever seat you choose. In fact, the Highline’s 6-way electrically-adjustable driver’s seat is surpassed only by the 12-way electrically-adjustable seat on R36 models. Both offer adjustments for lumbar support and seat back angle, enabling you to sit back and relax, enjoying the most ergonomically beneficial position for your spine.
Generous interior space is another contributory factor to overall comfort, with the
transversely mounted engine providing more room than ever before for passengers and luggage, and giving all occupants significantly more legroom. Should you need to transport bulky objects or luggage, the Passat offers an impressive capacity of 565 litres* (541 litres* on R36 models). In addition, a novel stowage concept provides extra space in the vehicle interior, enabling you to store maps, sunglasses and CDs in the doors, front seat centre armrest on Highline and above, overhead console or centre console.
* Measured in accordance with ISO 3832. VDA measuring method

The RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible CD player with eight speakers and AUX-in socket for connection to an external multimedia source (e.g. iPod and MP3 player) will ensure enjoyment on any journey.
More comfort, more safety and, above all, more driving pleasure. That’s what you can expect from the Passat S, where a whole host of standard fittings provides everything you would expect – and more – from an extraordinary car. The front windows and heated door mirrors are electrically operated, the boot lid opens automatically with remote operation, especially useful when you’re loading large amounts of shopping, and the press and drive key allows you to start the engine simply by pushing the key. In addition, the rear seat backrest with its integral centre armrest splits 60:40 allowing it to be folded down in separate sections, ideal if you’re loading up 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 an RCD 310 radio/MP3 compatible CD player with eight speakers and AUX-in socket for connection to an external multimedia source (e.g. iPod and MP3 player), ‘Climatic’ semi-automatic air conditioning, electronic parking brake with auto hold function and alarm with interior protection and remote central locking.
Driving the Passat S is an even more enjoyable experience. One reason is certainly the 16 inch
‘Milwaukee’ alloy wheels with 215/55 R16 tyres, guaranteeing dynamic handling and appearance. Another is the eye-catching interior, with its ‘Dark Rhodium’ inlaid decor and whole array of practical stowage trays and storage compartments positioned in the doors and overhead console. To ensure driving is not just pleasurable but also worry-free, the Passat S benefits from many special safety features, such as electro-mechanical power-assisted steering, WOKS (whiplash- optimised head restraints) in the front, front airbags with front passenger airbag deactivation, front seat side impact airbags, curtain airbags, and an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP). As you can see, Volkswagen have thought of everything – all you have to do is concentrate on enjoying the drive.
The BlueMotion 2 Passat builds over the already well equipped Passat 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 128 g/km.
The BlueMotion 2 Passat 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.

The Passat R Line.
If a sleek, sporty look with a whole host of creature comforts is what you want from your Passat, then the R Line will exceed your every expectation. While still comprising all of the specification, luxury and practicality of the Passat 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 to any loss in tyre pressure 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.

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 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 and rear boot 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 R36 from 0 - 62 mph in just 5.6 seconds. It’s all due to the powerful 3.6 litre FSI V6 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 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 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?

Heart-stopping.
Model shown is Highline with optional front fog lights and metallic paint.

Every journey is a special experience in the Passat, thanks to Volkswagen’s superb range of economical, high-torque petrol and diesel engines, all designed to make driving pure pleasure. The three petrol variants benefit from direct injection technology,
where the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber under high pressure, resulting in impressive performance even at low revs. The first variant is a powerful four cylinder 1.4 litre TSI engine developing 122 PS which utilises a sophisticated turbocharger,
resulting in impressive output with a smaller engine size. This engine can reach 126 mph, where the law permits, and is capable of achieving a fuel consumption figure of 42.8 mpg on the Combined fuel cycle*. The second engine available for the Passat is a 1.8 litre engine (01), again incorporating TSI technology developing a healthy 160 PS. When specified with the six speed manual gearbox, it can accelerate the Passat to 62 mph in 8.6 seconds, yet is still capable of 37.2 mpg on the Combined fuel cycle*. You could also opt for the Volkswagen’s innovative seven speed DSG gearbox, which combines the sportiness of a manual with the comfort of an automatic, characterised by its smooth gearshifts with no traction interruption. Finally, for the ultimate experience, the 3.6 litre FSI V6 4MOTION 300 PS engine, fitted exclusively to the R36, is sure to get your pulse racing as it accelerates from 0 - 62 mph in just 5.6 seconds on its way to a top speed of 155 mph (restricted), where the law permits.
The three diesel variants (02) are particularly sophisticated, mainly in terms of flexibility and fuel economy. Featuring the latest
common rail technology, these engines not only ensure excellent performance and fuel consumption but are also incredibly quiet.
First is the four cylinder 2.0 litre TDI engine with a five speed gearbox, developing 110 PS and 250 Nm of torque from just 1,500 rpm. Like most Passats, it has a 70 litre fuel tank (68 litres on R36 models), and achieves 51.4 mpg on the Combined fuel cycle*. This
engine, in conjunction with the BlueMotion 2 Passat, is capable of a top speed of 123 mph where the law permits, produces a mere 128 g/km of CO
2
yet can still achieve 57.6 mpg on the Combined fuel cycle* – a benefit that will make your next journey even more
pleasurable. BlueMotion 2 models also benefit from an engine Start/Stop function (in lieu of auto hold). When coming to a stop at traffic lights for example, you simply depress the clutch and select neutral – when the clutch is released the engine switches off and a ‘Start/Stop’ symbol illuminates on the multifunction display. In order to drive away you simply depress the clutch once again to select first gear and the engine restarts automatically. This innovative feature is just one of the many ways of contributing to the BlueMotion 2’s excellent environmental credentials.
The second diesel option, the powerful 2.0 litre TDI 140 PS engine, is available with either a six speed manual gearbox or with
Volkswagen’s revolutionary six speed automatic DSG gearbox (03). With the manual gearbox, this engine can deliver 320 Nm from just 1,750 rpm while returning a miserly 50.4 mpg on the Combined fuel cycle*.
Finally, the equally impressive 2.0 litre TDI 170 PS can accelerate the Passat from 0 - 62 mph in just 8.6 seconds yet is capable of
returning an impressive fuel consumption figure of 50.4 mpg on the Combined fuel cycle* – creating a fine balance of performance and efficiency. It is no slouch either, with a top speed of 139 mph where the law permits.
As part of Volkswagen’s continued desire to satisfy European emissions legislation, all Passat diesel engines are now fitted with
a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) as standard. This is part of the exhaust system responsible for cleaning the exhaust gases before they enter the atmosphere. In addition to converting the harmful exhaust gases in the same way as a conventional catalytic converter, the DPF uses advanced technology to reduce the emission of black smoke and soot. It filters the exhaust gases
and particles before they leave the vehicle exhaust system, resulting in a cleaner environment and less pollution entering the atmosphere. Please note, driving conditions within inner-cities and the Channel Islands may not provide optimum conditions for the use of DPF technology. Therefore, it is advised that you consider this before ordering a vehicle with DPF.
