There are many reasons to buy a Passat Estate and its impressive sales figures should come as no real surprise. I\u2019m unable to cover all of them here, so I\u2019ve boiled them down to 3 areas: comfort, practicality and technology. In terms of comfort, you get a refined, familiar and spacious cabin. It\u2019s here where the difference in quality over the more budget friendly options from Vauxhall<\/a> and Ford<\/a> are more apparent. Furthermore, it\u2019s incredibly quiet on the road with minimal engine noise and stable handling even at higher speeds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As it\u2019s an estate car, practicality also ranks highly on its scorecard. At the rear, you simply need to wave a foot under the bumper to open the electric tailgate to be greeted by 650L of boot space for your dog to hop into. Volkswagen\u2019s estate is also not as tall as some of the other vehicles recommended in this series. As a result, there\u2019s certainly less of a leap for your canine friends to make from the ground. In the boot you\u2019ll find plenty of practical cubby holes perfect for storing pet toys, leads and treats!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Lastly, the Passat is loaded with the latest driver assistance technology to keep you and your passengers safe. What VW calls the \u2018Proactive Passenger Protection System\u2019<\/em>, is able to prepare the vehicle for a possible collision in advance. It does this by detecting when the car is in a potentially dangerous situation based on longitudinal and latitudinal acceleration. This includes tightening the seat belts and closing passenger windows to improve safety during a collision. All of this tech, as well as the standard VW safety equipment will make you feel more secure when travelling with your dogs.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you\u2019ll be travelling with dogs in your Passat Estate, you\u2019ll want to protect your car from any damage that may affect its resale value, such as stained upholstery and scratched paint. This is where Travall\u2019s range of premium vehicle accessories, designed specifically for the Passat Estate come in. The Travall Guard<\/a> prevents excited dogs from breaking into the passenger area and harming the interior, or worse themselves. Additionally, the Travall Divider<\/a> works seamlessly with the guard to separate the boot into two distinct areas. This is great for keeping dogs away from precious cargo and preventing items from moving around during transit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n On the subject of luggage, adding a Travall Protector<\/a> reduces the likelihood of scratching the paintwork on the rear bumper as you load the boot with heavy items, or your pooch climbs aboard. To complete the range of products available for the Passat Estate, the Travall Liner<\/a> is essential for the journey home after muddy walks through the woods or around the park. Simply remove the liner and hose it down to get rid of any paw prints and keep your boot clean no matter the weather!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here at Travall we\u2019re always on the lookout for the best dog friendly cars to keep both you and your pets happy as you enjoy life\u2019s journey.
