A new medallion-shaped grille is installed on the 2006 Passat, and, in Volkswagen's words, the car's silhouette parallels "in a contemporary way its trendsetting predecessor." The Passat's brakes have a wiping feature that removes moisture on the discs. A sport suspension and Volkswagen's Adaptive Front Lighting System are optional.
Exterior dimensions have increased slightly. The wheelbase measures 106.7 inches, up from 106.4 inches, and the new Passat measures 188.2 inches long overall versus the prior generation's 185.2-inch length. Its width has grown from 68.7 to 71.7 inches. Standard wheels measure 16 inches in diameter, but 17- or 18-inch wheels are available.
Interior
Volkswagen says the five-passenger Passat's enlarged exterior translates to more interior width and legroom, especially in the backseat. Rear legroom has risen from 35.3 to 37.7 inches. New vents for the air conditioning system are installed in the rear, and the 60/40-split, folding rear seat has a pass-thru provision. Sedan owners get 14.2 cubic feet of trunk room. An electronic parking brake is installed, and the driver faces a four-spoke tilt/telescoping steering wheel. Leatherette seat trim is standard, but leather upholstery is available.
Air conditioning is standard, and models equipped with the 3.6-liter V-6 can have dual-zone automatic climate control. The standard eight-speaker CD stereo is MP3-compatible. A six-CD changer is optional in the 2.0T but standard in 3.6L models. Walnut or brushed-aluminum trim can be installed as an option in the 3.6L. A DVD-based navigation system and park assist are optional.
Under the Hood
Volkswagen's new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder develops 200 hp at 5,100 rpm and 207 pounds-feet of torque at 1,800 rpm. Either a six-speed-manual gearbox or a six-speed automatic that incorporates Tiptronic manual gear selection can work with the four-cylinder engine. The 280-hp, 3.6-liter V-6 teams only with the six-speed automatic, which includes a sport mode.
Safety
The Passat is equipped with six standard airbags, including frontal- and side-impact airbags for the front seats and side curtain-type airbags. For the first time in a Passat, rear-seat side-impact airbags are optional. All five occupants have adjustable head restraints, and the ones for front passengers are active. All-disc antilock brakes, brake assist, a tire-pressure-monitoring system and Volkswagen's Electronic Stabilization Program stability system are standard.
Driving Impressions
The V-6-powered Passat with the Sport package is quick from a standstill and responds promptly and eagerly when passing or merging. Acceleration doesn't diminish much when the turbocharged four-cylinder is teamed with the automatic, and it's offset by greater fuel economy. Exhaust sounds are satisfying, but the V-6 is a little noisy while accelerating.
An undeniably taut sport suspension yields confident control and adept steering and handling without impairing ride quality too much. Bumps are commonly felt, but not too many are troubling. The ride isn't much different in four-cylinder Passats.
Ample glass aids visibility, but the mirrors aren't as useful as some. The car's deep-set, hooded gauges almost disappear at times on sunny days. The low cowl provides good forward visibility.
Front space is ample, and the seats are indisputably firm but adequately comfortable, though the wide console is close to the driver's knee. Rear headroom is sufficient and legroom is acceptable thanks to an additional 2.4 inches in this generation of the Passat.

Volkswagen Multivan Alltrack Concept takes the luxury van life off road
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Volkswagen dug into its commercial vehicle fleet for its latest Geneva Motor Show concept, blending the versatile body of the T5 MultiVan with a luxuriously appointed interior, 4Motion all-wheel drive and a thrifty diesel powertrain.
That 177-horsepower diesel engine routes its power to the AWD system through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Based on that alone, we'd expect the Multivan Alltrack's behind-the-wheel experience to be somewhat familiar. That all-wheel-drive system and van body contribute to the 21-degree approach and 15-degree departure angles of this soft-roading MultiVan.
What wouldn't be familiar is its exquisite cabin. Volkswagen opted for a nautical theme for the concept's interior, featuring grey-blue leather seats from Poltrona Frau and a floor finished in real wood. The dark wood trim can also be found throughout the interior, running below the windows and on the dash.
Volkswagen to add 50k jobs by 2018
Thu, 04 Apr 2013Volkswagen still has its eyes set on becoming the top global automaker by 2018, and to get there, it's apparently going to need more boots on the ground. Automotive News Europe is reporting that VW is looking to increase its staff by 50,000 over the next five years - an increase of nine percent - which does not include an increase in its US dealer network.
According to the report, a majority of the growth will come from China where the automaker is also looking to double its production capacity in the same time frame. The Volkswagen Group is already expected to rival General Motors for the top sales spot in China this year, and such a rapid expansion in the region could make a good springboard for sales increases in other countries.
VW updates Scirocco with revised styling, new engines
Sun, 16 Feb 2014The Scirocco is undoubtedly one of the better-looking models in the Volkswagen lineup, but introduced back in 2008, it's now been on the market - some markets, anyway - for the better part of six years. VW is said to have an all-new replacement in the works, but before that arrives, the German automaker has announced a facelifted version with revised styling and a new engine lineup.
Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new Scirocco benefits from updated styling front and rear, high-tech exterior lighting, a revised cabin space with some throwback retro touches, some new technologies and, of course, an array of fresh wheel options ranging from 17 to 19 inches.
The updated Scirocco will be offered with a wide array of engines right from the get-go, including four gasoline options and two diesels, spanning from 125 horsepower all the way up to the 280-hp Scirocco R. The 2014 model hits European showrooms in August, but unfortunately isn't any more likely to make the transatlantic voyage Stateside than the version it replaces. Still interested? There's plenty to see in the high-res image gallery above and details in the press release below.
