The 2010 Volkswagen Passat Sedan offers the practicality of a midsize family sedan with a little more excitement and performance then the traditional options.
The Passat delivers respectable performance because of features like a 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic, an auto-hold function (ensures the vehicle stops automatically as soon as it comes to a standstill while on a hill), and a turbocharged 2.0T four-cylinder engine with 200 hp. Other features that contribute to the great handling of the vehicle include power-assisted and vented brakes, the Anti-lock Braking System, dual-pinion power steering, MacPherson concept front suspension, and independent four-link rear suspension.
The exterior of the vehicle has a confident appeal and it also comes with equipment such as tinted glass, dual tone horns, halogen headlamps, taillights with LED technology, daytime running lights, fog lights, and power heated mirrors.
The five-passenger capacity cabin will provide ample comfort and convenience because of features like CLIMATIC air conditioning, three power outlets, a multi-function trip computer, an automatic locking feature, and a radio-frequency remote locking system. Also, you will love listening to the sounds of your personal music collection through the premium sound system, which has 8 speakers, a 6-disc CD changer, an auxiliary input, and SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
The Passat is not only comfortable to drive, but also safe because it is standard equipped with the front airbag supplemental restraint system, the side-thorax airbag supplemental restraint system, side curtain protection, head curtain airbags, and safety belts with load limiters and pretensioners (Pyrotech). Experience the comfort and style of the 2010 Volkswagen Passat Sedan at a reasonable price.
