EUROPEAN REFINEMENT AND DRIVING PRECISION HIT THE

ROAD IN THE 2010 VOLKSAGEN PASSAT SEDAN AND WAGON

HERNDON, VA. Created with todays drivers and passengers in mind, the

2010 Volkswagen Passat sedan and wagon achieve new levels of detail,

sophistication, and convenience to ultimately set the standard for todays midsize

class of cars. Developed in Germany with a design tested on the Autobahn, the

Passat sedan (starting at $26,995) and wagon (starting at $28,395) give the

chance to experience the Volkswagen brand heritage at its finest.

Exterior

The Passat carries on the Volkswagen tradition of clean lines and

comfortable proportions. At the front is a long, sloping hood that spreads to therectangular headlights that corner a wide-mouthed grilled with chrome edging

and bumper covering. The narrow turn signal indicators rest atop circular halogen

fog lamps that are set into the lower front end. The Passats profile moves to the

rear with a faint horizontal line starting along the upper portion of the front

fenders and traveling almost to the taillights, while a slightly angled chrome

accent runs from the front door on to the rear bumper. Chrome window trim

brings a touch of distinction to contrast the black lower front valance, side skirts,

and lower portion of the rear bumper.

On the sedan model, the semicircular roofline eases into the short trunk lid

before dropping down to the rectangular jeweled tail lights that house LED lamps

for superior brightness. The Passat Wagon includes an integrated roof rack and

a body color spoiler atop the rear hatch.

Both models come with 17-inch Le Mans style alloy wheels that are

wrapped in all-season tires, or can be upgraded with 18-inch Budapest wheels

that include sport suspension.

Interior

The 2010 Passat sedan and wagon welcomes drivers and passengers alike

by incorporating an array of standard interior features and functions. The front

seats are heatable and entirely adjustable a 12-way, power unit for the driver,

and an eight-way, manual unit for the passenger and are covered in V-Tex that

is available in three different colors. The leather-wrapped three spoke steering

wheel includes easy-access controls for the multimedia system, and sits before

the updated gauge cluster with performance dials and an informative,

multifunction digital display.The Passats center console houses the CLIMATIC single-zone climate

controls, and a premium AM/FM/CD stereo system with MP3 CD readability, an

in-dash, six-disc changer, eight speakers, an SD memory slot for playing WMA /

MP3, an auxiliary input for connecting portable audio players, Bluetooth

connectivity for hands-free mobile phone calls, and access to SIRIUS Satellite

Radio (complimentary service for six months).

Optional on all models is a comprehensive touch-screen navigation system

with a 6.5 high resolution display, an integrated 30GB hard drive (10GB for

navigation, 20GB for audio), WMA / MP3 audio CD playback, DVD playback, an

SD memory card slot, an auxiliary input connection, and complimentary Sirius

Satellite Radio for six months, and three months of real time traffic provided by

Sirius. A special Media Device Interface with iPodcable can be ordered as well,

allowing playback and control of iPodsand iPhonesthrough the touch-screen

navigation system. Three 12-volt auxiliary power outlets, including one in the

cargo area, finish off the Passats repertoire of connections.

Cargo space is easy to find with both the sedan and wagon models,

especially with the 60/40 folding rear seats: Approximately 14.2 cu. ft. for the

sedan, and 35.8 cu. ft. for the wagon, which can go up to 61.8 cu. ft. when the

rear seats are folded.


3/21

Engine and Transmission

The heart of the Passat sedan and wagon is Volkswagens 2.0-liter

turbocharged and intercooled four-cylinder gasoline engine. Performance-

oriented with a definitive nod to efficiency, the 2.0T power plant is stocked with

four valves per cylinder and variable timing, dual overhead camshafts, and

maintenance-free hydraulic lifters. The fully-electronic TSI direct fuel injection

system and drive-by-wire throttle control constantly monitor and adjust power

delivery, making for quick acceleration when called upon, and improved fuel

economy overall. All told, the 2.0T gives Passat drivers access to 200

horsepower at 5,100 rpm, and 207 lbs.-ft. of torque from 1,700 to 5,000 rpm.

For 2010, the Passat sedan and wagon come equipped with the cutting-

edge variable DSG

six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic

control.The DSG houses an automated dual-clutch system that engages and

disengages gears without needing a driver-activated clutch pedal. A special

computer controls the entire shifting process and provides gearshifts that are

faster and smoother than what can be experienced through a traditional

automatic or manual transmission. As the clutch for the next needed gear is

engaged, the clutch from the previous gear is instantly released, to create

performance-oriented shifts without any noticeable lagging or a drop in power.

When the driver places the gearshift lever into Tiptronic mode, the transmission

stops automated shifting, and lets the driver determine all gear changes by either

tapping of the gearshift lever up or down, or by pressing the steering wheel-

mounted shift paddles

With the DSG transmission, the Passat sedan can reach 60 mph in only

7.2 seconds from a complete stop, and continue on to an electronically-limited

130 mph top speed. Another benefit enjoyed with the DSG is improved fuel

economy that is on par with what can be experienced with a more traditional

manual transmission: EPA-estimated ratings for highway and city travel are 31

mpg and 22 mpg respectively.


4/21

Chassis and Suspension

The Passat sedan and wagon have been tuned on the German Autobahn

for a smooth ride on the straights, and finesse through the turns. An advanced

front suspension starts out with independent MacPherson struts that work in

conjunction with a stabilizer bar, resulting in flat and stable handling regardless of

the road conditions. The rear components mimic their counterparts from the front,

as a fully-independent four-link setup with telescoping shocks and a rear

stabilizer bar keeps the Passat planted to the pavement.

Both the sedan and wagon models utilize power rack-and-pinion steering

with electro-mechanical assistance, and features a tight 16.4:1 ratio for excellent

on-center feel, and easy yet precise turning at all speeds. Halting the Passat are

four-wheel disc brakes vented 312 mm rotors in the front, and solid 280 mm

rotors for the rear supplemented by an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), thateven has a special brake-wiping feature to keep the brakes clean and dry when

moisture or dust buildup is detected. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

keeps drivers in the know when there is an issue that needs attention with either

the standard 17-inch all-season tires, or the optional 18-inch versions. A

collection of other technologies continuously analyze feedback from sensors

pertaining to the engine, the road conditions, and driver input to ensure the

Passat and its passengers travel safely: Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), Electronic

Differential Lock (EDL), Engine Braking Assist (EBA) and Electronic Stability

Program(ESP).

Active and Passive Safety

The Volkswagen Prevent and Preserve Safety System is standard on the

2010 Passat sedan and wagon. A total of six airbags (dual front, dual thorax, and

dual side curtain), three-point safety belts in all five seating positions (two front,

three rear), each with emergency locking retractors, and rear-impact optimized

head restraints.

Volkswagens decision to include the previously-mentioned Electronic

Stability Program (ESP) on all 2010 Volkswagen models as standard, including

the Passat, comes ahead of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations


5/21

(NHTSA) mandate that by the 2012 model year, all vehicles produced will need

to include some form of Electronic Stability Control (ESC). According to NHTSA,

having ESC in a vehicle results in 35 percent fewer single-vehicle crashes and

30 percent fewer single-vehicle fatalities in passenger cars. Volkswagens ESP

compares the drivers intended course with the vehicles actual direction. If a

discrepancy is detected, ESP automatically brakes individual wheels and/or

reduces engine power to help maintain directional control.

Warranty

Both the 2010 Passat sedan and wagon come with 24-hour Roadside

Assistance for three years or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first), plus the

following new vehicle warranties, all as standard:

Five-year / 60,000 mile (whichever occurs first) Powertrain Limited Warranty Three-year / 36,000 mile (whichever occurs first) New Vehicle Limited

Warranty

12-year unlimited distance Limited Warranty against corrosion perforation

Like the other 2010 model year Volkswagens, the Passat sedan and wagon

are included in the no-charge Carefree Maintenance Program. Under this

program, all of the cars scheduled maintenance, as described in their

maintenance booklets, is covered for the length of the New Vehicle Warranty

three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Additionally, all current

Volkswagens, including Passat models, use synthetic oil, which, when combined

with state-of-the-art German engineering, eliminates the need for a 5,000 mile oil

change. This ultimately allows for all current Volkswagen owners to driver farther

between scheduled oil changes.
