Volkswagen Passat Wagon
In the Passat sedan and wagon, both the 3.6-liter engine and the six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic are mounted transversely rather than longitudinally. The configuration frees up cabin space and allows for enhanced balance and smoother powertrain operation.
On models equipped with six-speed automatic Tiptronic transmissions, drivers have three options for gear changes: automatic and driver-initiated using either the gear selector or optional steering wheel-mounted shift paddles.
For cargo, the Passat sedan holds 14.2 cu. ft. in the trunk. The Passat wagon offers 35.8 cu. ft. in the rear cargo area. With the split-fold rear seatbacks lowered, cargo area increases up to 61.1 cu. ft. for carrying up to 1,228 lbs. For convenience, a 12-volt power outlet is included in the cargo area. The wagon also features a standard power-operated tailgate.
