It's been a minute since we caught a next-gen long-roof Volkswagen Passat out and about. This test vehicle caught the eye of our spy photographer in the chilly north, and yes, it's still wearing the hide-in-plain-sight stickers that make it look like the current model. Of course, we know this is really the new B9, but beyond that, this particular prototype looks downright mean.
Perhaps it's the dark window tint on a white wagon, which frankly always looks good. Maybe it's the winter setting, providing a stark contrast to the black windows and trim on this test vehicle. The Passat estate looks long, low, and rather aggressive slicing through the snow. Our spy sources do tell us the next-gen model will be longer and wider, though by exactly how much is still unknown. The wheelbase is stretched out, too, and in these images, it comes across as a sleek, sporty estate with handsome proportions.
