"It's hard to find a sedan in this class (length 4868 mm, wheelbase 2803 mm, width 1835 mm), with similar technologies and qualities of such a price," said a statement from the company. This means that the volume and space for passengers in the "American" Passat will be more than the car with the same name sold to other world markets.
The appearance of the new sedan has a lot in common with the new Jetta and much less to do with the marketed in Europe Passat (although the difference between the two models is not very large).
According to the manufacturer, the technology comes from Germany, a style developed in the U.S.. In terms of technology, the underlying model of the U.S. Passat will be available with engines 2.5 liters and five-cylinder as its output is 170 hp
Another version will be diesel TDI with output of 140 hp and a third with petrol engine 6 cylinder VR6 with 280 hp power The new Passat will be sold in the U.S. in three versions of furniture - S, SE and SEL. The basic version is equipped with ESP, ABS, monitoring tire pressure, brake assist, Hill Climb Assist (assistant climb) and 6 airbags.
