Basic specification with high level of standard equipment. The new Passat can be configured in the four equipment versions Passat, Business, Elegance and R-Line. The Passat entry-level specification already includes features such as the new MIB4 display, Car2X warning system, App-Connect Wireless (Apple and Android integration), automatic air conditioning, USB-C ports with 45 W charging capacity (at the front), black roof rails and numerous assist systems. The latter include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Side Assist (lane change assist), Front Assist (Autonomous Emergency Braking), Lane Assist (lane keeping system), the oncoming vehicle braking when turning function, Park Distance Control (acoustic and visual warning signals if there are obstacles to the front and rear), Rear View (rear view camera system) and Dynamic Road Sign Display using the front camera. Also standard are LED headlights and LED tail light clusters.
Business line for frequent drivers. The Passat Variant is one of the most successful business vehicles in Europe. Volkswagen once again meets the needs of this segment with the Business equipment line. From the outside, this Passat can be recognised by premium chrome trim on the side windows, silver-anodised roof rails and chrome elements at the front and rear, among other things. In Germany, dark privacy glass is added for the rear windows. On the inside, the Passat Variant Business is characterised, among other things, by customised seat covers in ArtVelours Eco, own interior applications, partially electric seats with massage function, additional 45-watt USB-C ports in the rear and three-zone automatic air conditioner. Further assist systems additionally increase comfort and safety. These include automatic lighting control (Light Assist) and assisted driving into and out of parking spaces (Park Assist). The new IDA voice assistant is additionally standard on the German market.
Elegance and R-Line as the top versions. Volkswagen has positioned the Elegance and R-Line versions above the Business equipment line. With these specifications, the Passat Variant can be made either more stylish (Elegance) or more dynamic (R-Line), depending on preference. Compared to the Business version, both lines share additional equipment details such as the new-generation IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights and LED tail light clusters with animated turn signals, seat heating and extended seat massage (12 instead of three pneumatic massage elements), keyless locking and starting system Keyless Access, electrically operated boot lid with Easy Open/Easy Close, more comprehensive background lighting, and voice control for all markets. Both models come with the new Park Assist Plus with memory function as well as the Dynamic Light Assist main-beam control system. Sports seats with integrated head restraints are fitted in the Passat Variant R-Line. The front and rear ends of the Passat Variant R-Line have a sporty R design. Further custom features include specific 17-inch alloy wheels for the Passat Variant Elegance and 18-inch alloy wheels for the R-Line version.
R-Line Signature: The optional R-Line Signature package was developed specifically for the Passat R-Line. It individualises the exterior with features such as black 19-inch Leeds alloy wheels (with diamond-cut surfaces), specific bumper applications, black-painted and electrically folding exterior mirror housings, a roof painted in Grenadilla black metallic, a two-tone roof spoiler (body colour/black), high-gloss black roof rails, a high-gloss black horizontal strip in the dark red tail lights, privacy glass in the rear and high-gloss black trim strips on the side windows. In the vehicle interior, the Passat R-Line with Signature package is refined with details such as a headliner and roof pillar trim in black ArtVelours microfleece, special decorative inlays, ergoActive Plus seats, enhanced interior noise insulation, a heated sports steering wheel and seat centre sections (front and outer rear seats) in Puglia perforated leather.
