New Volkswagen Passat


Volkswagen's next-generation Passat is expected to up the stakes against Germany’s luxury carmakers, with the car’s designers hoping it will be mentioned in the same breath as the BMW 3-Series, Mercedes C-Class and Audi A4.
One year after the launch of the Passat sedan will be the station wagon variant. To give the Passat some much needed panache, VW will be pulling out all the stops to make the next-generation a technological showcase, with features that should have the traditional German manufacturers feeling a little worried.
Expected to debut in mid 2011 as a 2012 model, the next-generation Passat is tipped to feature a host of new technologies, including airless tyres, a wiperless window cleaning system, and an advanced user interface. There may also be an electronic stability system with a feature that automatically offers counter-steering assistance in adverse driving conditions.
