The all-new Volkswagen Passat and Passat Estate models, which went on sale in the UK in January, are now available to Motability customers. A range of engine and trim options are to be offered on the scheme, and Advance Payments for Europe’s current Car of the Year start from just £999.
The eighth-generation Passat features all-new designs, technologies and engines. It establishes new benchmarks with an unladen weight that has been reduced by up to 85 kg and fuel economy figures that have been improved by up to 14 per cent. In its design and in the advanced safety, convenience and comfort features it offers, the new Passat bridges the gap between the upper medium and premium class. Four diesel engines are offered, ranging in power output from 120 to 240 PS.
Both the 1.6-litre 120 PS TDI and 2.0-litre 150 PS TDI with manual and DSG automatic gearboxes are available on Motability in S, SE and SE Business trims, and in saloon and Estate bodystyles. All Passats offer a high level of standard features with highlights including Post-Collision Braking System and mis-fuelling prevention on all; Front Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Pre-Crash system, Driver Profile Selection, Ergo Comfort seats and front and rear parking sensors on SE and above; and Discover Navigation on the SE Business.
Volkswagen offers Motability customers a wide range of cars, from the up! city car, through the Polo, Golf, Golf SV, Tiguan, Jetta, Scirocco, CC and Beetle to the Touran and Sharan people carriers. At present a number of up! and Polo models are also available with nil Advance Payment.
The brand is also looking forward to participating in in five Motability roadshows this year, starting with the One Big event at Eventcity, Manchester on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 May. This will be followed by the One Big Day events at Yorkshire Event Centre on Saturday 6 June, Westpoint in Exeter on 23 July, the Peterborough Arena on 6 August and Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire on 12 September.
Motability Operations manages the worry-free Motability Scheme for over 600,000 disabled people and their families.
