Compared to the previous Passat, the new model was about 3 inches longer in wheelbase, 4 inches longer overall, and about an inch wider and taller. The new look reflected the crescent-form styling that had first been seen in sedans from Audi. The GLX added leather upholstery, a Monsoon sound system and 5 spd tranny.
