Volkswagen To Launch 2011 Passat
Volkswagen India has confirmed that it will launch the new Passat in 2011. Volkswagen India has no plans to increase the localisation of the Passat and will continue to assemble the car from knocked down kits. The Volkswagen new Passat is offered in the 3 variants: Trendline, Comfortline and Highline. The Volkswagen Passat Trendline represents the entry level for the model series, while the Passat Comfortline is recommended as a comfort-oriented medium equipment level; positioned at the boundary to the upper medium class is the exclusive Volkswagen Passat Highline.
Prominent changes in the new passat includes modification in the dashboard. Its upper section, where the air conditioner vents are integrated, has a new surface texture. Chrome accents enhances the looks of the vent screens. The decorative strips in the instruments also have new and higher-end material composition; they visually separate the upper and lower areas and are now designed with a slight curvature. In the Trendline base version, “Matt Chrome” decorative inserts are used.
For the 1st time, door trims of the VolksWagen new Passat are treated with special accents. 4 other decor types are available for the Comfortline (Iridium Printed) and Highline (Brushed Aluminium). Natural Walnut and Zebrano wood accents are offered on the Passat Comfortline at extra charge and as a selection on the Passat Highline. Designed in brushed aluminium is the centre console aboard the Passat Comfortline and Highline. In line with this are the chrome bezels of the illuminated switches for lights, mirror adjustment and window lifts.
