Due to be unveiled in July ahead of a public debut at October’s Paris Motor Show, it will once again be offered in saloon and estate guises. Plenty of advanced technologies are going to be available including a TFT screen in place of conventional instruments, LED headlights and an upgraded self-parking device that even works with a trailer attached.
For now details of the engine line-up are sparse, but a plug-in hybrid powertrain with an electric-only range of up to 31 miles (50 kilometres) has been confirmed. Also announced already is a 2.0 litre, four-cylinder, biturbo diesel engine that produces 236 bhp (177 kW / 240 PS) and 500 Nm (368 lb/ft) of torque. That output will be delivered via a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission and the 4Motion all-wheel drive system.
First UK deliveries of the new Passat are scheduled to take place in early 2015.
