2016 Vw Passat Pics
Volkswagen has released three new renderings and a little more information about the company's upcoming "New Mid-size Sedan" (NMS), the unimaginatively codenamed Passat replacement for the U.S. A refresher: While Europeans were introduced to a reworked Passat at the Paris auto show today, we'll instead get a bigger, cheaper, and softer model specially designed for American tastes. It will fight it out in McDonald's parking lots against the likes of the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata. (One can't help but think VW's press team timed this New Mid-size Sedan announcement to eliminate the confusion engendered by the Euro Passat reveal.)
The three new computer-generated images of the NMS aren't detailed even by Paint-by-Number standards, but we can glean a little information. The long roofline and rough proportions of the doors to the rest of the car imply that VW is going to deliver on its promise that the NMS will be bigger than the Passat it replaces, more on par with the Accord sedan (which now exceeds even BMW's 5-series in length). The front fascia and rear end will be clean and simple like the newly introduced Jetta's, and—prepare for a scoop!—judging by the pictures, the NMS will offer alloy wheels. We hope that the production car will, unlike the car in the sketches, have windows one can actually see through.
More seriously, Volkswagen confirmed that the NMS is on track for a January debut at the 2011 Detroit auto show, and should go on sale in the third quarter of 2011. Volkswagen hasn't confirmed the Tennessee-built car's engine lineup yet, but we do know the company's excellent 2.0-liter turbo-diesel will be available as an option. The base price should stick close to $20,000, and the 2.5-liter inline-five also found in the Jetta (a car with which the NMS is said to share 30 to 40 percent of its parts) is expected to be the standard engine. We remain hopeful, however, that VW will also install the wonderful 2.0-liter turbocharged and direct-injected four-cylinder found in the GTI and CC, among others.
Volkswagen has said that it expects to sell 150,000 copies of the NMS per year, which would more than quintuple the number of Passats annually rolling out of U.S. showrooms.
