That’s thanks to shorter front and rear overhangs, which allow the passenger compartment to be stretched by 33mm. Sadly, it will not be a standard feature but a separate 6.5-inch colour display in the centre console is fitted across the range.ĭespite being shorter than the outgoing model – only by 2mm however – the new Passat offers more passenger space than before.

Inside, technology and comfort have been the main focal points, with the conventional instrument cluster being replaced by a fully configurable 12.3-inch TFT display. At the back, a Phaeton-inspired rear end houses two chrome exhaust pipes which sit flush with the rear bumper. The front end incorporates the brand’s new identity, with the three-bar chrome grille merging with the swept back headlights. With softer lines and an elegant sweeping profile, the new Passat is 14mm lower and 12mm wider than the outgoing model.
