Recently, the first 2012 Volkswagen Passat info, together with a number of spy images, have surfaced the web. The 2012 Volkswagen Passat, a camouflaged prototype that is, was caught on camera while testing somewhere in an alpine scenery, while towing a small trailer. Although heavily covered, the 2012 Volkswagen Passat definitely has a new front fascia and is longer and wider than the current generation model. More generous exterior dimensions mean that the next generation 2012 Volkswagen Passat will offer more interior room, luggage carrying capacity and comfort.
From what can be seen through the wraps, the 2012 Volkswagen Passat might feature a new face of VW which had its debut on the Compact Coupe revealed
this year. The rear of the 2012 Volkswagen Passat has also underwent rather significant changes, showing newly designed rear light clusters.
There are also rumors saying that the new 2012 Volkswagen Passat will employ the use of light weight materials, such as ultra thin glass.
As far as the engines go, the 2012 Volkswagen Passat will offer a range of petrol and diesel units,
and will be available at launch as a 2WD vehicle. Further down the line, the 2012 Volkswagen Passat will also be offered with the company's 4Motion all-wheel-drive version. A 2012 Volkswagen Passat R is also a possibility.
The 2012 Volkswagen Passat price and more details will be available as the carmaker releases them.
