Individual Passion

·         Special fittings break barriers between middle and upper class

·         Individualisation level assumes ’Phaetonic’ proportions

The new Passat generation makes a point of perfecting the possibilities of individualisation. Details like five different patterned inlays, a wider interior colour and pattern range and the uncompromising high-quality, function-guaranteed integration of info and entertainment technology are comparable to a safari through the desires and needs of today’s car drivers. They expect the best and most individual solution – at an honest price.
