More convenience and safety.
New assistance, infotainment and convenience systems make individual mobility more sustainable, interconnected and communicative; they also play an active role in the driving process and make it even safer. The Passat has advanced to become a vehicle whose technologies move beyond segment boundaries. These technologies include – along with the Active Info Display and head-up display – systems such as an app-based rear seat entertainment system for tablet computers, Front Assist plus City Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection and three world firsts: Emergency Assist (stops vehicle in an emergency), Trailer Assist (assisted manoeuvring with a trailer) and the traffic jam assistant.
