Volkswagen has more than just its new Atlas to go on display at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show, as the Passat GT concept will also be sharing the stage with the seven-seater SUV. The Passat GT is the work of VW’s North American engineering hub, and features plenty of styling updates to inject some pep into the sedan.
The car has been lowered by some 0.6 inches for a sportier stance, accompanied by 19-inch “Tornado” alloys, red-painted brake calipers, black window surrounds, a black roof and trunk spoiler, LED headlamps and smoked taillights.
The Passat GT also draws inspiration from the Mk7 Golf GTI (pre-facelift), adopting the black grille (with red accents and honeycomb insert), as well as new bumpers front and rear. The latter includes a set of trapezoidal-shaped exhaust and a sport muffler, which helps to give the concept a better growl.
Said noise is piped from from an untouched 3.6 litre TSI VR6 engine, which makes 280 hp and 350 Nm of torque, sent through a six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
As for the interior, VW has fitted the concept with two-tone black/grey sport seats with contrast stitching, a black headliner, piano black centre console trim, as well as carbon-fibre pattern trim for the doors and instrument panel.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
They should fire the designer. With this kind of “uncle” shape who will buy. The side panel doors have no curves. Front and rear lights very boring. Wake up and get some inspirations from Hyundai Elantra, Sonata, Honda HRV, Toyota C-HR which have plenty of protruding curves and muscles shape.
US and Europe uncle like this kind of shape la, they can sell more passats there compare to here
Front look like Biza. VW copy my P2 Biza
P2 > VW
Jangan persoal
Hello VW, I think you have miss the plot when you revealed a Passat GT for the LA show.
Most car manufacturer/tuner will take the opportunity to reveal a “Show Stopper” in the form of something special.
What is so special about this GT ??! You call a puny 280hp with 19-inch wheels something to shout about ?!
