Wolfsburg - Following the international unveiling of the new Passat at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2005, the Passat is making its first appearance in Asia: from 28 April Volkswagen's new mid-class saloon will be on show at the Seoul Motor Show 2005 - its launch in Asia will follow in July.

While the launch in Asia is fast approaching, the new Passat has been available to customers in Germany and most European countries since early March - since then this equally practical as elegant saloon with the new Volkswagen face has been on the roads of Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland.

The second stage of the European launch started in early April in Spain, Portugal, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland and Poland. The third stage followed in late April with Greece, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, and Croatia. In total the Passat has already been launched in 20 countries in Europe.
