Some time ago the Volkswagen Passat was the subject of attention around the world to go on the cover of a German magazine, the curious thing was that had not yet been officially released. After that time we knew nothing of this saloon, until today.
We bring you the first spy photos of the Volkswagen Passat and although it is somewhat camouflaged, we can see most of his figure. You seem to have grown more than expected, which is a much more comfortable inside even gain weight and lose velocity.
We also see that has some angular grille, LED daytime and apparently include a new engine, the 1.2 TSI as access to the range of gasoline, so he says goodbye to the V6 petrol engines.
Is said that the car will be launched at the Paris Motor Show, has also said it could reach in 2013 a hybrid version of the Passat, but for now we can not confirm any of this information.
The countdown has begun. Volkswagen is working on the Nordschleife to the first test mules of the new Golf MkVII that it still are collecting all the information possible to tune the chassis properly. The current rush the MkVI was more of a restyling fat than anything else, and although no one doubts its commercial results, it is obvious that his was an upgrade to 2.0 MkV more than a generation gap with all the letters.
Spy photos of today do not teach us any details with which we can imagine the features of the next Golf (think that although the platform is new, still have the old body), but it would be logical that Volkswagen began to leave with him the keen features that are already part of other spectrum from the Pole and to the Touareg. Not that I expect anything revolutionary if we stick with some clay model "filtered" by the mark for months. Anyway, the new Golf goes on sale in 2012, so do not take too long to see the first prototypes with the body of pre-production.
