Volkswagen Passat CRDi



When compared with the cars in the same range in India, Passat hashigh standard of drivability. Luxury,comfort and sophistication are the bonus points to the customer.
The new Volkswagen Passat has a design similar to a sports car. The major similarity is that Passat has a very small glass area. The body design is also similar to a sports car. The specially designed bye xenon headlamp, the chromium coated grill and the large Volkswagen logo gives Passat a good look.
Volkswagen Passat will now come equipped with the new-generation common-rail diesel engine. The traditional Pumpe Duse (PD) form of diesel injection will be replaced by common-rail systems which are now the industry standard. There are no significant changes. The price tag remains the same and there are no visual changes as well, while the engine produces a similar 140bhp. In terms of refinement, there will not be much difference between the PD and CRDI engines. However, in terms of efficiency there could be a difference which will be confirmed only by a detailed road test.

Interior
12-way Power Seat

12-way Power Seat

With the power seats, you can adjust your seat 12 different ways. That's up, down, back, forth, lumbar and everything in between with just the touch of a button. (Driver side only)

Electronic Parking Brake

Electronic Parking Brake (EPB)

No need to pull levers or push pedals to set your e-brake. Just simply press the e-brake button and they'll set themselves. Once you're ready to get going, just press the button again and the e-brake will release itself. Multi-function Steering Wheel

Multi-function Steering Wheel

The leather wrapped multi-function steering wheel in your Passat lets you control the radio without ever taking your hands off the wheel. With the sport package, Tiptronic® paddle shifters are right at your fingertips too. Can you say "happy hands"?

Next Gen RNS510 Navigation System

RNS Midline Navigation System with visual and audible commands through color center console display and through multi-function onboard computer display in instrument cluster; features touch-screen control, 30G hard-drive, SD port, and an auxiliary multimedia connector.

Exterior
Power Glass Sunroof

Power Glass Sunroof

It tilts. It slides. It's got pinch protection. And it's tinted so you don't get toasted when the sun comes out to play.

LED Technology

LED Technology

The rear markers, brake lights and turn signal lights are all illuminated using Light Emitting Diodes. LEDs illuminate instantly, they use less energy and last significantly longer than standard light bulbs. Good for safety and the environment.

Performance
Independent Suspension

Independent Suspension

Independent suspension provides handling, control and ride benefits. Since each wheel is able to pivot and be suspended separately from all other wheels, it creates a nice, smooth ride in your VW.

Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)

Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA)

Sometimes, drivers will apply the brake quickly, but without enough pressure to activate the ABS system. VW's HBA recognizes how quickly the brakes were pressed, and automatically kicks in maximum ABS effectiveness to give you maximum deceleration
Safety
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

ABS stands for the Anti-lock Brake System. It's an electronically regulated hydraulic braking system, which helps prevent the vehicle from sliding under hard braking by preventing wheel lock-up. ABS, some say it means "Always Brake Safely.



It has LED tail lamps and 16'' alloy wheels. It also posses illuminated wing mirrors. The napa leather seats,brushed aluminium finish, 3-spoke steering wheel, and 6cd-mp3 player with 8 speakers makes Passat a superb stuff. Headlamp with self cleaning facility,wipers with rain sensors, heatable leather seat, electro mechanic parking break, cruise control, park sensor, 8 airbags,ESP and ABS are the other peculiarities of Passat.
