Volkswagen Passat.

We flew to the peninsula of southeastern this country to know the model two thousand and sixteen of the Volkswagen Passat, the people of brand marketing called "New Passat".

It really is not a new car, but the aesthetic renewal of that vehicle presented in two thousand eleven, and where VW aspired to conquer the American market with this model, to the extent that he built a huge plant in the country to manufacture, located Chattanooga Tennessee.

What gives us the "New" Passat?

As you could already see it in the mechanical there is nothing new under the sun, where if we find subtle changes is in the exterior aesthetics, while hood and front fascia changed to deliver accommodate a newly designed headlights, which in certain Obviously the more faces-versions are "Full Led", grille is now more violent, and gives the Passat a "dour" gesture.

In the rear area also there are cosmetic changes, optics also altered somewhat its forms, and now also uses the "LEDs", the decklid suffered certain modifications in the lateral cuts to the largest opening and handling of objects is somewhat simpler. We found some touches of chrome on the sides, present in a small moldings.

Inside if radical changes, since aside from having a new combination of materials and colors, upholsteries find that as canvas, synthetic leather or real fur, besides forming a new instrument panel version.

Connectivity.

Today we have very clear that the "harmony" between a vehicle and our "SmartPhone" is certainly a motivator acquired, and in that area the Passat stayed behind with respect to its contenders, well since the model two thousand and sixteen and it provides the connectivity that now all desire and demand, input provides an application (called application Connect) compatible devices apple (iPhone) or the robotito (Android) and through can be administered as various applications such as Google Maps or choose from iMusic or Spotify, apart from providing the long-sought "Mirror Link" that reproduces the screen of our "thinking" phone on the panel display. Communication protocols can be via wired (USB) or via wireless (Bluetooth), and not also the technology for AUX, apart from CDs that can be played

Our first impressions.

As we discussed, the "New" Passat offers us no active improvement, always and in all circumstances is essential to manage the new versions, and if the environment is I favor to get all the juice to the motors, since better. The first part of the journey at sea level was a Passat with veteran engine 5 tubes, one hundred and seventy hp, although not bad moves in the moments boot or in committed overdo it shows that the weight ratio power is low (and that the test we did at sea level), the Tiptronic does its work in a satisfactory manner, the speed with which engage the modern DSG (Dual Clutch) makes it feel like a marathoner retired, who While it could run with dignity strenuous test, but not with the speed of the new generations.

Soundproofing is very good, and to say the passenger space and trunk area, which is among the greatest virtues of the Passat "Born in the USA" emulating the American musician Bruce Springsteen.
