VW Passat FUNNY CAR COMMERCIAL

Respect to the Volkswagen Group for this creative commercial of VW Passat. Volkswagen translates to "people's car" in German. The company's current international advertising slogan is just "Volkswagen", referencing the name's meaning. Known as the New Midsize Sedan (NMS) before its unveiling in January 2011, this model was designed for the North American market, replacing the B6 Passat sedan and wagon for the 2012 model year in Canada, the United States and Mexico. It is also sold in China, alongside the Passat Lingyu and Magotan. North American, Middle Eastern and South Korean models are manufactured at its Chattanooga Assembly Plant, while Chinese market versions are built by Shanghai-VW in 2011. NAIAS 2013: VAG presented a pre-production concept Passat Performance with 1.8-litre TSI (250ps) When the 2012 hit the showrooms in late 2011, there were three engine choices: the base-model 2.5-liter five-cylinder, the 3.6-liter VR6, and the 2.0-liter TDI diesel four-cylinder (which later went on to set a new Guinness World Record.) The Volkswagen Passat won the 2012 Motor Trend Car of the Year, and in 2013, Passat TDI set a new Guinness World Record for fuel economy under the non-hybrid car category. It achieved a fuel consumption of 3.02 L/100 km (78 mpg‑US). By 2014, the Passat replaces the naturally aspirated 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine with a 1.8-liter TSI turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The turbo-charged four-cylinder made the same 170 hp (130 kW) that the five-cylinder made and saw a bump in torque by 7 lb⋅ft (9.5 N⋅m). The engine received Wards Auto Top-10 Best Motors of 2014. Facelift Volkswagen refreshed the North American Passat in 2015 for the 2016 model year with styling and technology updates. For 2016, the revamped Passat's doors, roof, and rail stampings are the only pieces shared with the outgoing model. The hood, front fenders, front and rear bumpers, and trunklid are revised. The Passat now offers optional LED headlights and taillights, a black-accented front bumper, a rear diffuser-like piece and special 19-inch wheels. The updated dashboard features the company's MIB II system (modular infotainment platform) with two sizes of touch screens available, depending on option package. These screens also will feature proximity sensors to pop up the relevant controls as your hand gets closer to the screen. The system is set to offer Volkswagen's Car-Net connectivity system, with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and MirrorLink compatibility, which allow you to seamlessly connect nearly any smartphone. The Passat refresh has automatic post-collision braking, which prevents the car from pinballing away and crashing into other objects after an initial impact, as standard on all models, as is a rearview camera. Adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning with autonomous emergency braking, a blind-spot monitor with rear traffic alert, lane-departure warning, and parking steering assist are all available depending on trim level. The 2016 Passat was planned to offer the same three engine choices featured in the outgoing car: the base-model 1.8-liter TSI turbocharged four-cylinder, the 3.6-liter VR6, and the 2.0-liter TDI diesel four-cylinder. The 1.8 T will do 38 mpg‑US (6 L/100 km) highway with the automatic transmission. Following the company's emissions scandal, VW halted sales of 2.0-liter TDI-equipped vehicles. The 2.0-liter TSI was offered in place of the TDI. North America Market: Volkswagen has announced a completely new Passat for the U.S. market that will be released in 2019 as a 2020 model. Chinese Market: Revealed on October 12, 2018, by SAIC Volkswagen, the Chinese market 2019 Passat was built on the Volkswagen Group MQB platform just like the Volkswagen Passat B8. Despite the high resemblance between the Chinese and North American Passats, they are completely different models based on different platforms. The model replaces the Volkswagen Passat NMS in China, while the European version which is called the Magotan would be sold separately. Trim levels are known as the 280TSI, 330TSI and 380TSI. 280TSI models receive the 1.4 litre EA211 engine, while 330TSI and 380TSI models receive the 2 litre EA888 engine. All models are available with 7 speed DSG gearbox as standard and pricing ranges between 184,900 yuan and 282,900 yuan (27,100 to 41,460 USD).
