The Volkswagen Passat is a thoroughly engineered, full-sized diesel luxury sedan that offers class-leading comfort, performance, and safety. With its elegant design and stylish appearance, the Passat stands out in the crowd of luxury sedans lining the Indian market. Passat has acquired the highest rating of five-stars by the NCAP in Europe for occupant protection during crash testing.

Both variants are powered by a 2.0-litre TDl lnline-4 turbo diesel engine that generates 140 bhp. The estimated fuel efficiency is 10/15 km/l (city/highway). The estimated starting price of the Passat is Rs. 22.87 Lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
