BlueMotion Technologies in the all-new Passat.

Optimized gear ratios:

The Manual and DSG transmissions are optimized for longer ratios, early upshifts and delayed downshifts for increased energy efficiency. Another example of how smart technology in the new Passat helps you drive smarter.

Auto start-stop:

Whenever you stop at a red light or in a traffic jam, the new Passat's engine is automatically turned off when you take your foot off the clutch. And incase of the DSG transmission, when you take your foot off the accelerator. Then, when you depress the clutch again, (or the accelerator in the DSG) the engine restarts automatically. In the process, you automatically save precious fuel.

Brake energy recuperation:

Every time the car brakes, kinetic energy is converted into electricity and stored in the battery. Which means, just the act of braking recharges the battery. Now, the more you brake, the further you can go.

Gear shift indicator:

This feature in the new Passat prevents energy loss while shifting gears. It does this by recommending the optimum time for you to shift a gear. The result is a most satisfying fuel efficiency
