Volkswagen India is in the making of next-gen VW’s Passat and its going to be launch very soon in India. A facelifted version of the car was recently spotted on test outside Pune, and since it was discountinued. This is a pretty clear indication that the carmaker is serious about continuing in the D2-segment of the Indian car market in spite of the poor demand. The Passat will onle be offered with a Petrol variant and it will feature an updated exterior design. The feature list will also be longer on the new model, compared to to the previous one. The Passat’s biggest competitor is actually the Superb, and what makes life difficult for it is that the more spacious Skoda undercuts it by a fair margin.
