Volkswagen Passat BlueTDI sedan and wagon

Paris Preview: Volkswagen Passat BlueTDI sedan and wagon
Volkswagen will be debuting a new BlueTDI version of the mid-sized Passat at the upcoming Paris Motor Show. The BlueTDI Passat uses the same 2.0L common rail injected turbodiesel as the new U.S.-spec Jetta TDI. However, unlike the smaller Jetta which can meet NOx reduction requirements with a lean NOx trap, the Passat uses a urea injection system. The result is a slight bump in output from 140 to 143 hp while fuel consumption is reduced from 42 mpg (U.S.) on the existing Passat sedan to 45.2 mpg (U.S.) on the EU combined cycle. The Variant wagon version with BlueTDI now manages 42.8 mpg (U.S.). The urea injection SCR system allows the Passat to meet 2014 EURO VI emissions requirements when it goes on sale in Europe in early 2009. We likely won't see a diesel in a mid-sized VW in the U.S. until the next-generation replacement starts production in Tennessee sometime in early 2011.

manual transmission would be nice option in US
I would think by how popular manual transmission is on the Jetta TDI that they might offer it on the Passat also...especially if it is built in US

Well, with the Jetta finally being allowed the 6spd in the US, I hope VW allows people to at least order a MT Passat TDI. Maybe they'll surprise us and just give us the manny version from the get-go.

I was told, by the VW salesman who I purchased my 06 Jetta from, that the new Passat TDI will be available in MY2010 and the window sticker will have the highway MPG at 50. Has anyone else heard the same???

FOC...therealbigred said:
Why would a car that is 300lbs heavier than the Jetta, has a larger cross sectional area than the Jetta, has the same drag coefficient as the Jetta, and has the same diesel engine as the Jetta get 10 mpg better on the highway than the Jetta.therealbigred said:
Also, both platforms share the 2.0T engine, and the Passat gets worse mileage than the Jetta Wolfsburg or Sportwagen SEL, as expected.
Prediction: EPA 27 city, 38 highway for the DSG.

The reason I drive an '05 Jetta today. I wanted the Passat, but I just couldn't live with the AT....Bayou_Flyer said:
50 mpg...c'mon.
Salesman....someday I'll be able to buy my car like my books....I go online, and UPS drops it off three days later!

Are you guys saying that a new car salesman would make an erroneous claim in an effort to sell cars?
I find that hard to believe.

I don't remember where i read it but somewhere I was reading Urea is alot more efficient compared to the system the jetta has because the engine can be tuned better emits more crap and the SCR urea cleans it all up, so it might be true.jvance said:

I heard we're getting a TDI Tiguan first from Vw in all their concept forms and at the auto shows, and from numerous dealers, and now apparently we're not. You can't believe anyone anymore. They're practically teasing us with the candy in front of our little hands while we scream and yell. Next year Next Year.therealbigred said:

VWoA should move forward on a Passat CC TDI platform with a 3 liter 6 cylinder turbo power plant to compete with the potent BMW 335d.
The Passat CC has some of the best lines I have seen on a VW sedan.

Personally, I'd snap up the wagon in a minute...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I just spotted a Passat Wagon with BlueTDI badging and Manufacturers plates here in Phoenix .. hope that's an indication of plans to bring it over

speaking of strange vehicles, i've seen it few days in a row here in Los Angeles a truck, i wouldnt call it Pick UP truck, it reminded me a bit of HUMMER H1 but if it was cut as a pick up. i dunno if that makes any sence. it was all wrapped in black cloth *(or whatever it is they use to wrap test cars)
steering wheel was on the right, and it had enough equipment and all kinds of little diplays to make it look like a small Jet Fighter plane.
if i see it again ill try to snag a picture.

Phoenix is where I once spotted some test VWs in 2000, they were too small to ever make it over here. I hope your sighting is because they're bringing it!

The CC is a beautiful car! To be honest, lack of a TDI in the Passat was a major factor in why I went elsewhere and got a 335d.candrews4tdi said:

Cool. I am retiring my 20-year old Nissan pickup (too much work to pass inspection in September).RomanL said:

The Passat is no more for the US. March was the last month for dealers to order them. The New Midsize Sedan to be built in Tennessee will replace it. The CC remains though. VW tests a lot of non-US models in Arizona that we'll never see.

The New Midsize Sedan is still nameless, and rather than uncork some hard to pronounce off-the-wall name (read: Tiguan, Touran, Toureg), they might just call it a Passat.tiguando said:
Perhaps VW just uses Arizona and California for hot weather testing of vehicles destined for other hot weather markets. VW engineers would rather travel to Arizona than India, Africa, etc...

I am certainly NOT holding my breath. I'm just holding on to my two Passat TDIs until a truly better drivetrain is marketed here. I can pay for a whole lot of maintenance cheerfully until then.....

the urea additive is expensive. MB is using it in all their 09+ ML320 Bluetecs - a buddy who drives a lot has one and has to pay an extra $150 or so each inspection.
