Pre-sales of new VW Passat starts in Europe at base price of EUR 39,995
New top Volkswagen duo in the mid-sized class: with the Passat and the likewise new all-electric ID.74 , Volkswagen will offer two ultra-modern product lines in the high-volume mid-sized class in future. The new Passat is available with the complete spectrum of petrol (TSI), diesel (TDI), mild hybrid (eTSI) and plug-in hybrid (eHybrid) drive systems. With an electric range of up to 100 km and a DC fast charging function, the optimised eHybrid models bridge the gap to electric mobility – they are designed for all drivers who want to cover short and medium distances under electric power but want to complete long journeys without stopping to charge. At the market launch, the new Passat will initially be offered with engines from the particularly successful 110 kW class (150 PS). In addition to a Passat “Business” 1.5 eTSI1 (from 44,995 euros3 ), the entry-level version – the Passat eTSI1 – will also be available soon2 from 39,995 euros3 . Both are equipped with a mild hybrid drive (48-volt technology), which is used for the first time in this model series. Also on offer: a 110 kW (150 PS) 2.0 TDI5 (from 48,495 euros) with extensive standard equipment.
