Efficiency Doesn't Have to Mean Slow!
With the all-new 2012 Passat TDI, Volkswagen has found a way to couple fuel efficiency exceeding that of a hybrids, with the performance that Volkswagen owners have come to expect of their cars. Many people associate a gain of fuel efficiency with a loss of performance, but with the new Passat, you don't have to trade one for the other. Why sacrifice?!

Passat Performance
Volkswagen's all-new 2012 Passat is finally here! We finally received shipments of the redesigned Passat , and what a car! Not only is it loaded with luxury and safety features, but most people will be surprised with the available performance features in this year's vehicle.
The 2012 Passat has a heartbeat that beats to the tune of three different engine options. Most vehicles will be equipped with our famous 2.5 liter, 5 cylinder engine, producing 170 hp and 177 ft-lbs of torque. For our fuel efficient customers, the record-setting 2.0 TDI engine option is available, with an EPA estimated 40 mpg (on a cold engine with 0 miles, you may see better)! By the way, did I mention that this engine still makes 236 lb-ft of torque? Thats a lot of zip for an eco-friendly vehicle. And last, but certainly not least, is our 3.6 liter FSI VR6, pumping out a whopping 280 hp and 258 ft-lbs of torque! That should satisfy Volkswagen's heavy-footed customers.
The performance of the transmission in these cars is no joke either, with a 5-speed manual, or optional 6-speed automatic with Tiptronic for all vehicles fitted with the 2.5 liter engine. TDI vehicles will have a 6-speed manual standard, but the option to upgrade to the famous DSG gearbox exists. This DSG gearbox will be fitted to the VR6 as a standard feature, and features paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The dual clutch DSG gearbox not only gives you the same drive, and economy as a manual transmission, but also shifts gears in less than 1/10 of a second! That's faster than any human being can possibly shift a manual transmission! Oh, and did I mention that it works like an automatic for the driver?
Check out what its like living in the express lane with VW's new Passat commercial:

Test Drive the All-New 2012 Passat at Esserman International this month for your chance to win the ultimate summer BBQ grill
2012 VW Passat: All-new for 2012, the VW Passat offers a more spacious cabin but keeps the luxurious interior and affordable German engineering that car shoppers expect from Volkswagen. New features include a TDI Clean Diesel engine option, an Integrated Crash Response System (ICRS), available remote start and, on certain models, the available Fender Premium Audio System – a nine-speaker sound system that gives you the power to share your favorite song with just about everyone in the neighborhood. Or at the stop light.

“The import car built right here in America”: Motor Trend test drives the 2012 Passat
2012 Passat
We put a lot of effort into getting ready for our date, so we were glad to hear Michael say, “Many of the competitors in this class feel like a well-equipped affordable car; the Passat feels more like an affordable version of a higher-end car.” He went on to state, “While pricing has decreased compared with the outgoing Passat, standard equipment hasn’t. In short, there is now more of it.” Thanks for noticing!
Since we’ve gotten to know our new Tennessee home so well, we knew just the spot for our outing: the freeway from Chattanooga to Nashville via Lynchburg. Michael was not disappointed in our choice, writing, “The back roads on the way to Lynchburg are twisty, scenic, and ideal to test out the North American-specific platform.“ And the appeal of the TDI was not lost on him, either: “The car settles in at speed, feels confident, and hates the 65-mph limit as much as the driver does,” adding, “The engine is smooth and silent, the opposite of diesels of the past.”
But we don’t wanna give away all the details—check out the full story for yourself.
