2009 PASSAT: VOLKSWAGEN’S TASTEFULLY STYLISH
MIDSIZE SEDAN OR WAGON IS MORE ACCESSABLE
THAN EVER
HERNDON, Va. — Those striving for a genuinely European-designed, engineered,
tuned and built midsize family sedan or wagon need look no further than the 2009
Volkswagen Passat.
Offering a finely honed balance of comfort, functionality, and Autobahn-honed
vehicle dynamics, the Passat — now in its sixth generation — stands out from the ever-
growing and crowded midsize car U.S. marketplace.
Inside and out, the sedan and wagon are recognized as being as sophisticated and
highly crafted. For 2009, both the sedan and wagon are offered in one trim level —
Komfort — and start at $28,300 and $29,690 respectively.
Highlights
2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine
Standard equipped ESP

rich metallic paint exterior finishes are included in the base price. New color offerings on
the sedan include White Gold and Island Gray.
The list of standard features and amenities continues on the inside and includes V-
Tex leatherette seat surfaces; heated front seats; CLIMATIC® single zone climate
control; multi-function trip computer; 12-way full power adjustable driver’s seat and
eight-way manually adjustable passenger seat; telescoping and height adjustable steering
wheel with multi-function controls; and a premium eight-speaker AM/FM/Siruis®
satellite radio (including three-month complimentary subscription service) with MP3-
readable six-disc in-dash CD-changer and personal device (e.g., iPod) auxiliary outlet.
An all-new radio navigation system, RNS510, that features a 6.5” high-resolution touch
screen display with an integrated 30 GB hard drive, Audio CD (WMA and MP3), video
DVD playback when vehicle is in park, SD memory slot, and Media Device Interface for
direct connection of USB flash drives and USB certified MP3 players is available as an
option.
For cargo, the Passat sedan holds an impressive 14.2 cu. ft. in the trunk. The Passat
wagon offers 35.8 cu. ft. in the rear cargo area. With the 60/40 split-fold rear seatbacks
lowered (standard on both models), the wagon’s cargo area increases up to 61.82 cu. ft.
For convenience, a 12-volt auxiliary power outlet is included in the cargo area (there are
three APOs in all on both models). The wagon also features a standard power-operated
tailgate hatch.
Engine and Transmission
Under the hood of both the Passat sedan and wagon is Volkswagen’s sophisticated
2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that is both efficient and sporty. The standard
powerplant uses a turbocharger and an intercooler for cool, higher-density intake air --
high-end breathing is enhanced further by four valves per cylinder with variable valve
timing. An advanced direct-injection delivery system ensures optimum fuel
consumption.
At 5100 rpm, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers 200
horsepower. Torque peaks at 207 lbs.-ft. between 1800 and 5000 rpm. With a standard
six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic® and a final drive ratio of 3.50, zero-to-
60 miles per hour is achieved in a very respectable 7.4 seconds with an electronically
governed top speed of 130-mph. Fuel economy is an EPA-estimated 29 miles per gallon
on the highway and 19 mpg in city driving.
With six-speed automatic Tiptronic transmission, drivers have two options for gear
changes: automatic and driver-initiated using the gear selector.
Chassis and Suspension
An advanced version of Volkswagen’s proven, front independent McPherson strut
architecture combined with rear multi-link system provides great driving dynamics and
produces a low tendency to allow body roll, resulting in stable and comfortable ride
quality.
For added vehicle control, the Passat sedan and wagon come standard with an
electro-mechanical (electrically assisted) power rack-and-pinion steering system with
16.4:1 steering ratio, and a four-wheel ABS anti-lock braking system with four-wheel
disc brakes and Brake Assist. The ABS includes a brake-wiping feature that keeps the
discs — sized at 312-mm on the front, and 280-mm on the rear -- clean and dry.
In addition to the anti-lock brakes, dynamic chassis controls on the 2009 Passat
sedan and wagon include Anti-slip Regulation (ASR); Electronic Differential Lock
(EDL); Engine Braking Assist (EBA); Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS); and
Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP®). All are standard equipment on every Passat
sedan and wagon.
Active and Passive Safety
Like all Volkswagens, the Passat sedan and wagon include the Prevent and
Preserve Safety System, consisting of more than 45 standard safety features. As standard
equipment, the Passat sedan and wagon include — but are not limited to -- six airbags
(dual front; dual front side thorax; and side curtains); rear-impact optimized head
restraints; front seatbelt pretensioners with load limiters for front and rear occupants; and
three-point safety belts in all five seating positions (two front, three rear) with emergency
locking retractors. Rear passenger side/thorax airbags are available as an option, as are
rear outboard safety belts with pretensioners and load limiters.
The Passat and Passat Wagon, like all 2009 Volkswagens, come standard
equipped with the Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP). This is important because the
National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has reported that ESC
results in 35 percent fewer single-vehicle crashes and 30 percent fewer single-vehicle
fatalities in passenger cars. Volkswagen is one of the only original equipment
manufacturers to provide an electronic stability control system on its entire product line
as standard equipment — ahead of the NHTSA deadline requiring vehicles in the 2012
model year to include stability control systems. ESP compares the driver’s intended
course with the vehicle’s actual direction; if ESP detects a discrepancy, ESP
automatically brakes individual front or rear wheels and/or reduces engine power as
needed in certain driving circumstances to help maintain directional control.
Warranty
The 2009 Passat sedan and wagon come with 24-hour Roadside Assistance for three
years or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first), plus new vehicle warranties including:
• Five-year/60,000 mile (whichever occurs first) Powertrain Limited Warranty.
• Three-year/36,000 mile (whichever occurs first) New Vehicle Limited Warranty
with wear and tear items and adjustments.
• 12-year unlimited distance Limited Warranty against corrosion perforation.
The Passat sedan and wagon, like all 2009 model year Volkswagens, are included
in the no-charge Carefree Maintenance Program. Under this program all of the Passat
sedan and wagon’s scheduled maintenance, as described in the maintenance booklet, is
covered for the length of the New Vehicle Warranty—three years or 36,000 miles,
whichever occurs first. Since all current Volkswagens, including Passat sedans and
wagons, use synthetic oil, combined with state-of-the-art German engineering, a 5,000
mile oil change no longer is necessary. This means that like all current Volkswagen
owners, Passat sedan and wagon drivers can drive farther between oil changes.

Electronic Stabilization Program Technology Backgrounder
All 2009 Volkswagens come standard equipped with Electronic Stabilization Program (ESP). ESP has been called the most important safety device since the safety belt and the most important safety advance of this generation. To paraphrase one auto writer, “it’s like having a guardian angel as your co-pilot.” ESP Snapshot
• Helps prevent oversteer and understeer (fishtailing). • Uses technology applied in the Stealth aircraft to keep it aloft to measure the spin
of the vehicle. • Applies computer technology to help the driver maintain control. • NHTSA research found ESC could save 10,000 lives a year.
ESC Advantage
Multiple studies from the U.S., Europe and Asia have concluded that vehicles equipped with ESC have in the range of 35 percent fewer crashes. NHTSA studies conducted specifically in the U.S. concluded that passenger cars equipped with ESC experienced a 30 percent reduction in fatal single vehicle crashes. The same study concluded that SUVs equipped with ESC experienced a 63 percent reduction in fatal single-vehicle crashes. The NHTSA research saw a reduction in crashes that also involve a rollover by more than 70 percent. The studies conducted by NHTSA and others reached similar findings when it came to reducing the incidence of crashes overall: vehicles equipped with ESC saw a significant net reduction in crashes. The agency predicts that ESC could save 10,500 lives and prevent between 168,000 and 252,000 injuries every year. That equates to more than $40 billion savings in economic losses in the U.S. alone. One independent study conducted in 2006 by the prestigious Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) concluded that ESC could prevent nearly one-third of all fatal crashes and reduce the risk of rolling over by as much as 80 percent. ESP takes advantage of the great advances in electronics that have occurred in the past 20 years to be in the vanguard of active or primary safety systems. ESP is the sum of three functions — antilock brakes that enable individual braking and control at the four comers

of the vehicle, traction control which affects acceleration, and yaw control that addresses the spin of a vehicle.
ESP is a vehicle control system comprised of sensors and a microcomputer that continuously monitors how well a vehicle responds to the driver’s steering input and selectively applies individual brakes and modulates engine power to help keep the vehicle traveling along the path indicated by the steering wheel position. If an unstable condition develops — such as a sudden evasive maneuver or going too fast through the curve of a freeway exit ramp — within a fraction of a second, ESC intervenes via engine electronics and the brake system to help align the vehicle with where the driver is pointing the vehicle.
