Facelifted Passat will steal cues from Arteon

Not surprisingly, Volkswagen plans to update its Passat sedan shortly, three years after it was launched.

Like the Passat CC, the Arteon is basically a four-door coupe version of the Passat, even if it does differ in many significant ways. The most significant is the exterior design which is why VW will update the Passat with similar looks to the Arteon up front as well revisions at the rear.

The facelifted Passat is expected to make its debut later this year with VW boss Herbert Diess, saying that it is already "on the starting blocks." – BD Motor News
