This was a surprise, but I can not quite understand why this concept. Is it to show the future Passat R-Line? To publicize the new engine? No idea, but the car looks good.
The concept has a new engine from the EA888 family with 1800cc, 250hp, and will replace the 2.5liter inline-5 later this year in the U.S.A. It also has 19inch Luxor wheels, a redesigned front bumper with honey-comb inserts, HID headlamps and LED tail lamps equal to the ones in the Chinese market Passat.
