The speaker discusses the new Volkswagen Passat, the seventh or eighth generation of the model. The new Passat is more similar to the Skoda Superb than previous models, and is available as a station wagon and a liftback. It has a longer length and a larger wheelbase than its predecessor. The new Passat boasts more space, with 690 liters behind the back seat and 1940 liters in total, including the space under the floor. The speaker notes that the plug-in hybrid version has slightly less space due to its larger battery.
The interior of the new Passat has received positive reviews, with improvements in usability and quality. The dashboard has a soft plastic material that gives the impression of leather, and the screen is larger than before. The digital part of the car has been carefully designed for ease of use. The speaker mentions that the new Passat will be available in two plug-in hybrid versions, with one having 204 hp and the other having 272 hp. The battery pack of the plug-in hybrid version almost doubles the capacity for the same size, allowing the car to drive 100 km electrically.
The new Passat has a sleek, businesslike appearance. The speaker notes that the new Passat will be available at dealers sometime in February, with a German starting price ranging from 39,000 to 40,000 Euros.
