The business-class reinvented
There are many aspects to success. Yet it’s often the everyday things that make all the difference. Like arriving relaxed at your destination – whether a business lunch or football training for the kids. The new Passat, which incidentally will only be available in the Estate version in the future, now offers you more feel-good space than ever before and impresses with its sporty design, high level of comfort and innovative technologies.

Exterior
The streamlined design of the Passat Estate gives the car an elegant profile. The front has been given a strong, broad look with a striking chrome radiator grille. The large wheels and lowered bonnet meanwhile hint towards the car’s superior driving performance. The Passat Estate’s exquisite design has already been recognised by International Forum Design, who in 2015 awarded the car a prestigious iF award in the ‘Product’ category.
LED Headlights
The lighting design has undergone a total overhaul in the Passat Estate. Apart from the attractively contoured look, the energy-saving LED headlights use reflector technology to provide light-levels similar to daylight while lasting longer than ordinary headlights. Standard from the SE Business upwards. As an additional extra, you can add dynamic cornering lights. This advanced system turns the headlights as you turn the steering wheel to light up the direction you are travelling.
Wheels
There is a wide selection of attractive wheels to go with your Passat Estate. Accentuate the elegant lines of your Passat Estate with attractive optional 16” Sepang alloy wheels. Or alternatively go for a sportier style with the 17” London wheels. But whether you prefer a sophisticated, sporty, or classic look for your wheels, you’ll find one to suit your taste.
Interior Design
The Passat Estate’s cutting-edge exterior gives way to a luxurious interior. Your Passat Estate grants your passengers generous leg-space, premium materials woven into the seats, and thoughtful extra flourishes such as the ventilation strips which run the length of the dash panel.
Pedestrian detection
Somebody running out in front of your car as you drive through town is a worry for many drivers. The risk of this unexpected surprise can be greatly reduced by your Passat Estate’s ingenious pedestrian detection system. As part of the optional driver assistance pack, sensors at the front can detect when a pedestrian is stepping onto the road and give you an audio and visual warning. At the same time, the emergency brake lets you apply maximum pressure immediately. In cases where you can’t brake in time, your Passat Estate will try to stop in order to minimise the collision (at speeds of 18mph and under).
Emergency Assist
We hope you never need it, but the optional Emergency Assist can be vitally important in the event of a medical emergency. Using the Lane Assist function your Passat Estate will recognise if the driver is not staying in their lane properly, this indicates to the system that you are not in full control of the vehicle. The car will then make audible warnings to other drivers and help bring the car to a gentle stop if the driver does not take back control of the vehicle quickly enough.
Car-Net Security & Service
Area View
The optional Area View overhead camera and Rear View reversing camera give you an almost unlimited field of vision. Images from the front, rear, and two side cameras allow you to see the area surrounding your Passat Estate by displaying on the dashboard’s touchscreen. By combining the view from all cameras you can even get a bird’s eye view of the car. Dynamic guidelines are included on the screen to allow you to more easily gauge distances between your Passat Estate and any nearby obstacles.
