Automotive Design, Production Cars 22 May 2014

Volkswagen has released a set of design sketches that preview the 8th generation Passat (Europen spec), showing an design that adopt sthe brand’s current DNA.

Following the usual design philosophy of the VW Group, the design previewed by the sketches is rather evolutionary.

Compared with the sketches created for the current model back in 2010, the new images showcase a sleeker, lower stance and a surface treatment that uses more angular lines – something already seen in the recent T-ROC and CrossBlue Coupe concept cars.

Among the new features are the new grille and the headlights with twin square light units in place of the round ones of the current generation – a styling element shared with the current Golf VII.
