Volkswagen Passat 2008 Overview

The Passat attempted to reinvent itself back in 2006 with a list of weak base engines. It entered 2008 with a new list of engine choices, and some carrying over, although the latest model still looks the same as the all-new Passat that debuted in 2006. A wagon called the Passat Variant has also joined the lineup. The Passat boasts generous standard content and a high-quality interior mixed with high-tech hijinks. Volkswagen has rolled out a full line of four-door sedans, ranging from 1.8-litre and 2.0-litre 4-cylinder motors, both turbocharged, to the 3.2-litre and 3.6 V6 models, the latter of which is for the body-kitted R36 model. All basic cars are front-wheel-drive, while V6 models get 4Motion all-wheel-drive. V6 models also get a dual-clutch DSG automanual gearbox, while the base cars get standard manuals and autos. All Passats come standard with the latest in safety features and electronics, including power features, front and side airbags, ABS brakes, ESP, tyre-pressure monitoring system and MP3-capable CD player. R-Line package is largely just an expensive bodykit.
