According to press information, there seems to be every indication that the Passat will be a very nice vehicle to drive and a superb vehicle to occupy. Built on a stretched variation of the Jetta platform, the Passat is bigger in every dimension: just over 2 inches longer and almost 3 inches wider, it will offer cavernous legroom for backseat occupants and a trunk that will compete with more expensive vehicles in terms of cargo space.
