2021 Passat has the following hidden features: 1. Exterior: The bumper has been adjusted, adopting the same style as the Passat New Energy version, with no significant changes in other aspects. 2. Interior: As a mid-cycle facelift model, the 2021 Passat still retains the design of the previous version. In terms of configuration, it comes standard with front dual airbags, front side airbags, front and rear head air curtains, EPB, auto hold, ESP, and other equipment to ensure vehicle safety. 3. Powertrain: It is equipped with three powertrain options: 1.4T and 2.0T (high and low power). The 1.4T version delivers 110kW (150Ps) and 250N·m of torque, paired with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The 2.0T low-power version delivers 137kW (186Ps) and 320N·m of torque, while the high-power version delivers 162kW (220Ps) and 350N·m of torque. Both 2.0T powertrains are matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
The 2021 Passat indeed has some hidden features that aren't detailed in the manual, as I discovered during my time driving it. For example, the sensitivity of the automatic wipers can be adjusted—setting it higher in light rain prevents constant wiping, making it more convenient and safer. The turn signals can also be configured to flash a set number of times (5 or 3 flashes with a tap), which is especially handy for lane changes on highways. There's also a delayed light-off function that keeps the lights on briefly after parking at night, eliminating the need to use a phone flashlight. Activating these is straightforward—just access the engineering menu via the infotainment system. These small tweaks enhance the driving experience, and I recommend giving them a try. Additionally, there's an option for automatic mirror folding, which folds the mirrors when locking the car for added security and convenience. Overall, these features allow for personalized settings that are quite practical for owners.
