This all-new version of UKVolkswagen's big executive car majors on tech and will be offered exclusively as an estate 😲 We've been for an early drive
We drove a near-production prototype at Volkswagen’s top-secret Ehra-Lessien proving ground near Wolfsburg, Germany.Based on an updated version of the outgoing model's underpinnings, the new Passat is larger than before and will bring some significant technical upgrades.Passat now has a much bigger battery and it's to offer a range of between 56 and 75 miles on pure electric power with the petrol engine switched off.
The Passat can also now be equipped with a slick new adaptive suspension system and ‘vehicle dynamics manager’, inherited from none other than the Volkswagen Golf GTI hot hatchback. This enables you to select between a softer ride for poor road surfaces, or a stiffer set-up that unlocks tighter body control when the mood takes you. The suspension firmness changes very quickly between modes, and the difference it makes is impressively noticeable.
But if you fancy picking up the pace, Sport mode makes the Passat feel more composed, reducing body lean in corners and adding weight to the steering to help you place it more accurately in bends.The Passat’s focus on practicality is even more obvious than before; the new version is a huge 144mm longer than the outgoing car, making for a more spacious interior. On top of that, luggage capacity is up by 40 litres to a whopping 690 litres, making this one of the biggest boots on the market.
