The Passat was introduced in Australia during 2006. This ANCAP 5-star rating applies the diesel sedan and wagon variants.

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 wagon 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, and electronic stability control (ESC) are also standard. Intelligent seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats. Pretensioners are fitted to all outboard seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. A three point seat belt is fitted to the centre rear seat. This provides better protection than a two point seat belt.
