The Passat Sedan.

The Passat sedan’s intelligent design includes a comprehensive approach to protecting you and your passengers. Active safety features, like Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP), are always ready to help you avoid dangerous braking situations. Meanwhile, impact-absorbing crumple zones surround a high-strength passenger safety cell, ensuring you and your passengers are protected at all times. Inside and out, Passat is designed with your utmost safety in mind.

The Passat sedan’s active safety systems work with you to prevent dangerous situations before they occur. The Electronic Stabilisation Program (ESP) detects accident-prone conditions and responds automatically, braking individual wheels while reducing engine power to enhance your control. If required, the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Brake Assist will automatically increase braking effect to enhance your Passat’s maneuverability.

Numerous safety enhancements converge in the Passat sedan to deliver you safely to your destination. Electronic Brake-pressure Distribution (EBD) is always ready to regulate your front and rear brake pressure ratios, ensuring the Passat sedan brakes optimally in an emergency situation. Meanwhile, Anti Slip Regulation (ASR) enhances traction control when you’re driving on loose or slippery surfaces. These features provide you with maximum control of your vehicle at all times.

Within the Passat sedan’s impact resisting passenger safety cell, numerous passive safety features enhance occupants’ protection in any situation. Three-point inertia reel seatbelts on all seats are combined with seat pre-tensioners and belt force limiters on the front seats and pre-tensioners on outer rear seats to reduce chest impact. Eight airbags (twin front, front and rear side and full length curtain) as standard ensure the force of any actual impact is fully cushioned.

When it comes to your safety, nothing beats independent assurance. Your peace of mind on the road is backed up by the Passat sedan’s five star safety rating from the stringent independent European motor vehicle safety assessors at Euro NCAP*. This unbeatable safety rating is your unbiased guarantee that yet again, Volkswagen’s safety engineers have considered every detail to ensure your constant safety.
