Now available in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Volkswagen’s long-awaited restyled Passat sports a classy new look that democratizes innovation and makes the new model available for all.

To go along with the attractive new exterior, Samaco the official and 1st VW authorized dealers in Saudi Arabia  has furnished all five trim levels of its midsize sedan with a range of innovative, advanced technologies.

Being the vehicle on which Volkswagen traditionally showcases its cutting-edge technical capabilities; Passat has piled one success upon another throughout its history. The latest generation carries that tradition into the future in captivating style, with a more stylish hood, more solid grille, front and rear bumpers, as well as sleeker Xenon headlights and LED taillights.

The chrome strip adorning the truck lid adds contrast with the taillights, while the chrome trimmings add class coupled with a sense of flow.

For the interior, the new Passat not only maintains its world-class standards, but incorporates design touches that enhance the car’s status and add to its style and ergonomics, with better materials throughout the cabin, supportive sporty seats, ample legroom in the rear thanks to the longer wheelbase, the redesigned steering wheel, the two-tone dashboard, chrome fittings, and a tasteful blend of surface colors.

The new Passat is a technological tour de force, thanks to the latest infotainment systems that include touch- and gesture-operated displays, as well as USB and Bluetooth interfaces. The infotainment system works seamlessly with smartphones thanks to Android Auto and Apple CarPlay technologies. Connectivity features include the ability to load Google maps, YouTube and other apps into the center console screen. It is also possible to use the phone completely hands free for added safety on the road. In addition, there are generous helpings of convenient storage spaces and cup holders.

With its 2.5-liter engine that provides a perfect blend between performance and fuel economy, its new wheels and tires that range from 16 inches in size on the base sedan up to 19 inches on some trim levels, and keyless entry and start, the new Passat furnishes its driver with ample amounts of driving enjoyment, along with comfort and smoothness, which perfectly manifest the Passat’s ethos as the definitive traditional sedan.
