The Passat Estate.

The Passat Estate points the way into the future. Its overall appearance, complete with its dynamic face, proclaims sportiness. The Passat Estate has become wider, looks substantially more muscular than its predecessor and radiates power and confidence. A captivating sight. And a car that lives up to the expectations awakened by its looks. The striking silhouette leaves a lasting impression and arouses the desire to trace it with the fingertips.

Space problems are an alien concept to the Passat Estate. Its luggage capacity of up to 1,731 litres is one of its most engaging attributes and establishes a new benchmark in its class. Whatever you wish to transport, the Passat Estate will accommodate virtually everything with ease. Not least thanks to its loading concept, which has been thought through to the last detail. For example, the configurable loading surface can be folded up to create a separate loading area, in which fragile luggage and sensitive cargo can be stored. It couldn't be more convenient.

Irrespective of whether you are sitting in the front or the rear, the Passat Estate provides top-class comfort, paving the way for that exclusive driving experience. With its generous amount of luxury-class space and its extensive range of innovations, it redefines the benchmark. The 12-way seats offer pure relaxation. The “Climatronic” system provides two-zone temperature control, which enables the temperature to be individually adjusted in the left and right side of the vehicle. And the ten-channel high-end sound system from Dynaudio offers a sound experience with concert hall quality.

The first Environmental Commendation, which has been certified by the German TÜV Nord, was awarded to the Passat, Volkswagen’s successful mid-size model. The Commendation is primarily based on the results of a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in accordance with ISO 14040/44, which covers a broad range of environmental burdens such as energy usage, emissions and others. The LCA considers not only the service life but the entire life cycle – from production and use, right through to disposal.
