The brakes
The front and rear disc brakes are configured for
excellent deceleration under braking. New,
larger brakes will therefore be used in the new
Passat depending on engine type.
Front disc brakes
280 x 22 mm
288 x 25 mm
312 x 25 mm
Rear disc brakes
245 x 16 mm
256 x 22 mm

Bosch 5.3 anti-lock braking system
The new Passat still has a Bosch 5.3 anti-lock
braking system with ESP. This system allows the
driver to maintain control over the vehicle at all
times, even in critical driving situations.
