Collaboration with companies, authorities, as well as small, local start-ups creates space for new concepts such as We Park (cashless parking), or We Deliver (so-called car access-based services - simple and safe access of service partners to the vehicle). At this point, Volkswagen is therefore open to specialist partners and develops new services in conjunction with them. It offers an open system that is also continuously being enhanced. Volkswagen has developed a digital platform called Volkswagen We, offering and supplying bundled mobility products in a very simple manner. With the new Passat, Volkswagen We gathers more momentum. Smartphones (compatible Samsung models) also become a mobile key for opening and starting the Volkswagen Passat.

As well as improved navigation-related services with real-time information, this encompasses new technologies and offers, music streaming services, Internet radio, the use of updatable web app technology, natural voice control enriched with online content, the seamless use of online services provided by Volkswagen We, and future cloud-based portable vehicle settings. The Passat is now permanently online as the new Infotainment system also comes with an integrated online connectivity unit (OCU) complete with SIM card as standard. App-Connect - the interface for integrating smartphone apps - offers wireless integration of iPhone apps via a wireless Apple CarPlay™ for the first time as a result. The third generation of the Modular Infotainment Matrix (MIB3) also has its début alongside the new Passat.

The new IQ.LIGHT - LED matrix headlights also enhance safety and comfort. In addition, the lane guidance with Lane Assist has been optimised with a new multifunction camera. The system improves safety during sudden evasive manoeuvres via braking intervention. It detects touch by the driver, providing an interactive interface to systems such as Travel Assist.Įmergency Steering Assist also sees its début in the Volkswagen Passat. The new Passat will be the first Volkswagen worldwide with a capacitive steering wheel. Volkswagen builds on intuitive operation and technologies that function largely automatically. Along with its assistance system, the Passat represents the most advanced version of IQ.DRIVE yet seen. The Volkswagen Passat will be the first Volkswagen that is capable of partially automated driving across practically the whole speed range (0 to 210 km/h). From now on, the technologies involved in autonomous driving will be bundled under the IQ.DRIVE label. IQ.DRIVE is the new umbrella brand for Volkswagen assistance systems.

Pre-sales will start in May 2019 in some European countries and the market launch will start from the end of August 2019 onwards (Germany).
#Passat alltr update
A major technical update sees the new Passat incorporate the latest brand innovations. One thing is certain: the 30 millionth Passat will be one of the first examples of the significantly enhanced eighth generation. After the Golf (35 million vehicles) - and ahead of the legendary Beetle (21.5 million units) - the Volkswagen Passat is one of the three most popular vehicles from Volkswagen to date.

This landmark makes it the most successful mid-size model worldwide. The 30 millionth Passat left the assembly line in spring 2019.
