The new 2012 Volkswagen Passat is now available to drivers in the Myrtle Beach area, through East Coast Volkswagen located at 8756C Hwy 17 ByPass S Myrtle Beach, SC 29588. Just as Volkswagen says, it truly is, "...the highest common denominator...with more premium standard features than its competitors."1.
Among the state-of-the art safety advancements integrated into the redesigned Volkswagen Passat are an Intelligent Crash Response System, tire pressure monitoring system, ABS with HBA, crash-optimized front end, and electronic stability control. Not surprisingly, it passed the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) crash tests with A+ aptitude and has effectively earned the distinguished title of IIHS Top Safety Pick.
On the 2012 Volkswagen Passat sedan's performance in the roof strength portion of the test, IIHS reports, "The roof of the Passat withstood a force equal to 6.3 times the car's weight..."2 This score actually exceeds governmental roof strength standards by four-point-eight points!
Beyond the roof strength segment of the test, the redesigned 2012 Volkswagen Passat demonstrated similar outstanding performance. Like any IIHS Top Safety Pick, it also earned top, "good" ratings in the IIHS front, side, rear and rollover crash tests.
East Coast Volkswagen would like to note that this isn't the first time the Volkswagen Passat has been named an IIHS Top Safety Pick. The previous-gen 2009 and 2010 models also received the distinction, underlining the fact that safety is standard, rather than a novelty in the Volkswagen lineup.
