present it! VW Passat | drive it

Thirty-seven years and more than 15 million units after the first Passat was unveiled, VW presents the seventh generation of its popular mid-sized family car.Visually, the redesigned Passat has a strong resemblance to VW's luxury Phaeton. A long list of new technical innovations move the car ever closer to the ranks of executive sedans. It's the first car in its class to offer an automatic fatigue sensor even in mid-range equipment levels, and it's the first VW model to feature an optional City emergency braking function.
