Tires are supplied and warranted by their manufacturer. Highperformance tires are designed for optimum performance and handling in warm climates. They are not suitable for cold, snowy, or icy weather conditions. If you drive under those circumstances, you should equip your vehicle with all-season or winter tires, which offer better traction under those conditions. We suggest you use the recommended winter or all-season tire specified for your car or its equivalent. These high-performance tires also have a lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling; however, in order to avoid tire, rim, or vehicle damage, it is important that the inflation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at optimum levels. Please also remember in making your selection that, while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than other choices. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other choices. “Volkswagen “, “Passat “, “4MOTION “, and the Volkswagen logo are registered trademarks of Volkswagen AG. “Climatronic ” is a trademark of Volkswagen AG. “Side Curtain Protection ” is a registered trademark of Volkswagen of America, Inc. “FSI ” is a registered trademark and “TFSI ” is a trademark of Audi AG. “Tiptronic ” is a registered trademark of Dr. Ing. h.c.

This one will take 6.2 seconds. That’s the time it takes the Passat’s 3.6-liter, 280 horsepower, VR6 engine with 265 lb-ft of torque to hit 60 miles per hour from a dead stop. You’re probably saying “The Passat? Really? ” “Yup, and our 2.0 turbo is no slouch either, besting other more expensive ” German engineered sedans in a sprint from 0-60.* But there’s more than meets the engine with the Passat. Its 2008 refinements and state of the smart technology will leave you wide-eyed as well. Passat. Who knew? *0-60 mph times based on 2.0 TFSI 2.0 T FSI engine ­Awarded 2006 & 2007 International Engine of the Year for the 1.8-2L category, presented by Engine Technology International. Excuse the bragging. But this is a brochure. Passat. Who knew? You’re looking at the culmination of 60 years of German Engineering. At the heart of every Passat is the ultra efficient and über powerful FSI® engine. It’s 25% more fuel efficient than conventional engines because it doesn’t waste a single drop of fuel. Its straight injection system pumps fuel directly into the combustion chamber in both the Passat’s 3.6L, 280hp, VR6 and its 2.0 Turbo, 200hp, 4-cylinder engines. Less waste. Less lag time. And that means lower emissions, higher MPGs (VR6 ­ 26 HWY,** 4-cylinder ­ 29 HWY *). What’s more, the VR6 is mounted transversely to fit into the same amount of space as the 4 cylinder, creating extra legroom inside the cabin. Faster. Smarter. Bigger. By German engineering. 2.0 TFSI Engine 21 city/29 hwy* *EPA estimates for 2.0 TFSI with manual transmission 21 city/29 hwy. Your mileage may vary. **EPA estimates for VR6 with automatic transmission 17 city/ 26 hwy. Your mileage may vary. When your name is Volkswagen, you better make a pretty great wagon. Cargo room. Car go fast. The Passat Wagon comes equipped with the same powerfully-efficient FSI engines available in the sedan, but with a gaping 73.77 cubic feet of cargo space.* Room for you, your stuff and your performance hungry appetite. *cu. ft. based on rear seats folded down. Lots of cars have a button that pops the trunk open. But your Passat Wagon also has a button that pops the trunk closed. Passat. Who knew? One Touch Hatch Assist 4MOTION. Your Passat’s available 4MOTION® all-wheel drive system is like your computerized wing-man. It’s there when you want to feel some off-the-line torque and it’s ready to adjust during hazardous driving conditions too. 4MOTION constantly monitors the individual traction of each tire and makes adjustments. A tire needs less traction? 4MOTION reduces power to the wheel. A tire needs more traction.
