VW Passat Highline Plus
Volkswagen is adding a new equipment-heavy model to its Passat range.
The Passat Highline Plus offers more kit than the Passat Highline, the trim level which replaced the SE in February 2008. The Highline Plus gains chrome grille surround and louvres, Bluetooth telephone connectivity with touchscreen adaptor, as well as Volkswagen's RNS 310 satellite navigation unit.
The RNS 310 unit is a CD-based satellite navigation system with integrated radio and MP3-compatible CD player. It has touchscreen operation with a five-inch colour screen for ease of use and visibility, an SD card reader, plus aux-in slot for connection to external multimedia devices. This new system will shortly become available on other Passat models, priced at £795.
The Highline Plus commands a premium of just £750 over the standard Highline with prices starting at £20,515 for the 2.0-litre TDI 110 PS.
The Highline Plus is available to order now, ready for deliveries in January.
