Volkswagen also offers a further developed generation of the adaptive chassis control for its bestseller: the optional DCC Pro with two-valve shock absorbers. The more direct steering ratio and longer wheelbase of the Passat Variant have an additional positive effect on the driving characteristics.

Numerous individual measures improve the running gear of the new model: increased camber stiffness and greater lateral force steering of the four-link rear axle (increased rear axle stability and thus increased driving safety), a new electromechanical steering setup, modified anti-roll bars and shock absorbers, and adaptations for different wheel rims. New DCC Pro and integration of the Vehicle Dynamics Manager. The luggage compartment capacity is also increased by 40 litres to 690 litres (when loaded up to the height of the rear seat backrests), and even by 140 litres to 1920 litres when the rear bench seat is folded down. The new length (14 centimetres more) increases legroom by another 5 centimetres. The all-new Passat Variant is much larger than its predecessor. In addition, the multifunction steering wheel has buttons again – to make operation even easier. Volkswagen will also optionally offer a new head-up display that projects the information onto the windscreen and thus into the virtual space in front of the vehicle. Backlit touch sliders are located underneath the infotainment system display and are used to adjust functions such as the interior temperature and volume. There will also be a new 38 cm (15-inch) display as an option or depending on equipment. The new standard infotainment display measures 32 cm (12.9 inches). The Passat Variant will therefore be launched with a newly developed cockpit and new infotainment system. The new interior architecture of the Passat Variant systematically implements feedback from Volkswagen customers with the goal of making operation as intuitive as possible. These feature electrical adjustment (up to 14-way, depending on model and equipment) as well as differently configured massage and air conditioning functions. ergoActive front seats will be available as an option. Thanks to high-grade materials and effective noise insulation, the overall quality and comfort are taken to a new level.

Interior architecture has been redesigned based on a new concept.
