2011 Passat as the 7th Generation model


Volkswagen has just unveiled and released details of the next generation 2011 Volkswagen Passat at the Paris Motor Show. The 2011 Volkswagen Passat takes on a more mature design, which Volkswagen says was styled on the Volkswagen Phaeton luxury car. Inside, the new Volkswagen Passat gets redesigned seats, interior door trim panels and all new dash surfaces and trimming. On the technology front, the 2011 Passat also comes with Park Assist 2 which claims to not only parallel park through the use of automatic steering, but the car can also find its way into a perpendicular car park.

Though there are not any great changes made compared to the earlier Passat, Volkswagen has christened the 2011 Passat as the 7th Generation model.

A smart new feature with which VW has equipped 2011 Passat is the Automatic Distance Control System. Rushlane expects VW to launch 2011 Passat by June 2011 in India.

The name will be announced at the car’s unveiling, and we’ve been told it will not be NMS or New Midsized Sedan.
