The new 2016 Volkswagen Passat arrives in Bahrain
Manama : Volkswagen Bahrain has announced the arrival of the 2016 Passat, with a striking new design, innovative technology and enhanced value with a starting price of just BD8,800.
The 2016 Passat is available in the Kingdom in four configurations - S, SE, SEL and Sport - and features more aggressive styling than its predecessor, with a new hood, front fenders, grille, front and rear bumpers, trunk lid and LED headlights and taillights.
Felix Miranda, Brand Manager, Volkswagen Bahrain said, “The new Volkswagen Passat has arrived in our Sitra showroom with an aggressive new design, featuring a winning combination of great features, innovative technology and a dynamic drive.”
The new exterior offers slimmer headlights, a more substantial four-bar grille, and a muscular, domed hood, with all features blending harmoniously to give the Passat a wider, more planted stance at the front end. Additionally, a new chrome strip on the trunk ensures the rear lights appear lower, enhancing the grounded appearance, while chrome on the window surrounds, bumpers, and door trim compliments the more premium nature of the design upgrade.
Inside, the 2016 Passat showcases an extensively upgraded interior, for a more sophisticated look and feel including a new steering wheel and two-tone décor panels, and refined chrome and piano black trim.
The Passat features the second-generation in-car infotainment system, also known as MIB II by Volkswagen. The system features touchscreens as standard equipment on all models. Featuring the three major smartphone integration platforms—Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink, the in-car infotainment system allows seamless integration with the vast majority of smartphones available.
The new Volkswagen Passat also offers a combination of new safety and driver assistance systems in the 2016 model. The Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, standard on all 2016 Passat models, builds on the premise that a collision is rarely a single, instantaneous action, but rather a series of events that follow the initial impact— which can cause additional collisions.
The 2016 Passat will be showcased around the Kingdom starting with the City Centre Mall starting today, followed by Seef Mall Muharraq and Ramli Mall respectively.
