The model, which belongs to the VAG group, ride the famous MQB modular platform with a range of hybrid engines of 170 hp and a cruising range of 50 km , another engine to 1.4 liter petrol 140 hp, diesel and other more TwinTurbo 170 hp. In fact, the weight has been reduced to increase the overall performance of the model, which will reach the market in early 2014 environment.
The new Volkswagen Passat 2014 is getting closer, with a new design applied throughout this year in the German plant of the manufacturer, which has advanced the appearance of the new sedan will be produced entirely by the Volkswagen group.
Exterior and interior design
The new German sedan hit the market by 2014, with a radically new design. Just look at the front of the model, with a new mask and renewed headlights, placed on top of the bumper in a single line, without sacrificing the sharp lines that go to the outside.
However, the encouraging of the design side, while giving it a more sporty and muscular is in fact, more than a Volkswagen model. Exactly, remember the compact SUV prototype Taigun Volkswagen, which was presented last week at the Auto Show in Sao Paulo 2012. Addition, there is a return to the straight lines and original, and we found that the Volkswagen Golf VII, although in future model, the German designers have accentuated.
On the inside, the German company has announced a general improvement of the facilities and the quality of the finishes throughout the compartment, with the incorporation of the latest technology in their equipment as standard.
VAG Group Mechanics
Also, as the Golf VII, along with other models from the likes of the Audi A3, Seat Leon 2013 and Skoda Octavia, the new Passat 2014 also shares the same platform. This is the versatile multimodular platform (MQB), with capacity for various types of mechanical and architectural compositions chassis.
However, the new platform has allowed German engineers to be more daring, with some short overhangs and increased tuning with the same total length of the model. This combined with an overall reduction in weight, should allow a further reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.
Hybrid engines
Probably the new Passat 2014 present in the form of hybrid technology based on Plug-in with 170 hp and electric mode range of 50 km. Moreover, the new Passat 2014 mounts TSI petrol engines, including the 1.4-liter engine with 140 hp, the Golf VII, with a cylinder deactivation system.
While TDI diesel block, which incorporates the particle filter, is equipped with a system reduction of nitrogen oxides, to minimize polluting emissions. It seems certain, the disuse of the 6-cylinder in favor of a twin-turbo engine with power above 170 hp.
To finish, the launch of the car to the main European markets, is expected in late 2013 and early 2014. By then it will be available in Coupe and Sedan, Station Wagon, unprecedented.
