The 2012 Volkswagen Passat has already earned itself a 2012 Motor Trend "Car of the Year®" award, and now it's proving itself worthy in the realm of safety. More specifically, we here at Platinum Volkswagen are pleased to announce that the mid-size entry from our favorite German automaker recently took home a perfect five-star crash safety rating from the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration (NHTSA).

While the experienced team here at 340 West Old Country Road Hicksville, NY 11801 would like to pretend to be surprised, we know that Volkswagen puts more engineering, technology, and high-end assembly techniques into the production of vehicles like the Passat, as well as the Volkswagen Touareg, Eos, and Tiguan each year. In other words, the new Volkswagen lineup is changing for the better each day, and we can't get enough of it!

Of course, aside from its build quality and safety, there's quite a bit more about the Passat that drivers in the greater Hicksville area and beyond can enjoy knowing. For instance, the vehicle is constructed in a Platinum LEED-certified facility, and it was painted using America's first waterless paint process. Furthermore, the Volkswagen Passat is checked for its quality a total of ten times during its production.

From quality to safety, there's no area where the Volkswagen Passat doesn't shine. Want ot learn more about it? Feel free to contact us online or by phone at (888) 693-5057.
