INTRODUCING THE NEW 2012 VW PASSAT
When you want affordable luxury, a stylish and comfortable interior and innovative engineering at an affordable price, there has never been a better option than the brand new 2012 VW Passat.
Debuting last year at the North American International Auto Show, the brand new 2012 Passat features TDI clean diesel engine options, an integrated crash response system, remote start, and for your listening pleasure, a 9 speaker fender premium audio system. And that's just to name a few!
ENGINE/PERFORMANCE:
Drivers can choose between three engine choices and four transmissions: A 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine that makes 170 horsepower paired with a 6-speed automatic or manual transmission. There's also the 3.6-liter V6 engine with up to 280 horsepower and VW's popular DSG transmission, known as a two-clutch transmission which helps to reduce lag between shifting and making driving more fun and efficient. And of course, there's the diesel ? or TDI Clean Diesel ? putting out close to 140 horsepower while getting an impressive 43 miles per gallon!
STEERING/SAFETY
Upgrading the steering and responding to safety concerns led to a complete overhaul of the new 2012 Passat. The 2.5-liter engine Passat gets hydraulic steering assistance, while the TDI and V6 models come with electronic steering. Safety features include a new steering column designed to help protect the driver during a frontal collision, reinforced door panels to guard against side impact, front and side curtain airbags and VW's Integrated Crash Response System, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, Anti-lock brakes, and Electronic Stability Control.
GADGETS/TECHNOLOGY:
Passat buyers can choose between several entertainment systems ? a two-color display unit with AM/FM radio and CD player, which is standard on the Passat S, or the option of choosing between either the full color touch screen display, six disc CD changer, SD card reader, and an MP3 player, or adding a navigation system, 5" color display and touch screen and Media Device Interface (MDI) for MP3 players. Both options come standard on the Passat SE. Also available is Sirius Satellite Radio with a three-month free trial, and, best of all, the Fender Premium Audio System, consisting of nine speakers (including subwoofer).
The Passat also features available keyless entry and push button start as well as remote start, a new feature for the Passat that allows you to heat up the car from outside the vehicle.
