Volkswagen Passat
The elimination of the base trim and the top-end Execline has caused a shift in the Passat family. The diesel is still conspicuous in its absence, but the 170-horsepower, 1.8L four-cylinder engine is back. The same can't be said for the manual gearbox, however, as all trims will now come with the six-speed automatic. The Trendline+, Comfortline and Highline will feature a great deal of equipment, most notably driver warning systems and other electronic driving aids.
