Volkswagen is offering the Passat CC in combination with ultra-modern direct-injection engines only. The entry-level engine is a TSI system with 118 kW (160 PS) at a starting price of 30,300 euro. The next-level engine is a 147 kW (200 PS) TSI with impressive torque and fuel-consumption qualities. This vehicle version comes at a price of 32,975 euro. The most powerful petrol engine in the Passat CC range is a 3.6-litre, six-cylinder engine with 220 kW (300 PS) and with 4Motion permanent all-wheel drive as a standard feature. This vehicle version, fitted with an automatic DSG double-clutch gearbox, is available from 40,800 euro. Full story 2008 Volkswagen Passat R36 Styling Study

2011 Volkswagen Passat renderings
The Volkswagen Passat was first launched in 1973, but none of the fifth generation had anything impressive regarding their design. The only exception is the newly launched Passat CC, that brings a more attractive design. The next generation Passat will be launched in 2011, and even if everyone expected something big, it only brings small innovation regarding its design; only the front will be changed a bit. The 2011 Passat will be bigger than a current Audi A6 Avant; it will move to a more flexible modular platform and will keep the current engine line-up. Volkswagen will also bring a New Midsized Sedan (NMS) for the US and that they will introduce a complete fleet of hatchbacks across the whole model line-up.

And yet the direct-injection turbo engine in the Passat, specifically designed to run on natural gas, consumes no more than 5.2 kilograms of gas per 100 kilometres. The Passat and the Passat Estate TSI EcoFuel are due to be launched on the market around year-end.
