2016 Volkswagen Passat facelift
No word about the 2.0 TDI
After being revealed almost a month ago, the
2016
Volkswagen Passat facelift
is now available in United States from $22,440.
For this money you will be getting the base version fitted
with a 1.8 TSI engine producing 170 bhp (127 kW) and 184 lb-ft (249 Nm) of
torque sent to the front wheels via a six-speed automatic transmission. In this
configuration, the 2016MY Passat returns an EPA-estimated 38 mpg on the highway
which is 2 mpg more than the previous model year. Upgrade to the 3.6-liter VR6
engine and VW will reward you with 280 bhp (208 kW), 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) and a six-speed DSG, but in
this case the price jumps to $36,835.
Those looking for a sportier appearance can get the optional
R-Line package which makes its debut on the US-spec Passat. It increases the
starting price of the 1.8 TSI version to $23,975 and adds a more
aggressive body, a reworked rear diffuser, 19-inch rims with 235/40 all-season
tires and black accents. For an extra $775, VoA is offering an R-Line Comfort
package with leatherette surfaces, heated front seats, power driver's seat and
heated mirrors & nozzles. The 2016 Passat facelift can also be equipped with an
optional R-Line Lighting package for $1,095 and in return you'll get LED
headlights with LED daytime running lights and LED taillights.
This new model year brings Volkswagen's second generation modular
infotainment platform (MIB) with support for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and
MirrorLink. Automatic Post-Collision Braking System is also making its
debut on the 2016 Passat and will automatically apply the brakes after the
first collision is detected by the airbag sensors.
Available on order, the 2016 Volkswagen Passat facelift
US-spec is built at the company's factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
