ANCAP Safety Report (PDF)

The Passat CC was introduced in Australia during 2009. This ANCAP 5-star rating applies to the diesel variant of the Passat CC.

The diesel left-hand-drive European Passat sedan model was tested by Euro NCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page. Volkswagen provided evidence to ANCAP that the Passat CC with diesel engine can be expected to provide comparable protection to the sedan tested by Euro NCAP.

Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side curtains are standard equipment. Antilock brakes (ABS) with electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), emergency brake assist, daytime running lights and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats. A reversing camera is available. Pretensioners are fitted to all seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. There is no centre rear seat.
