The Volkswagen Passat is a serial of large family cars manufactured and marketed past the German automobile manufacturer Volkswagen since 1973, and now in its 8th generation. It has been marketed variously every bit the Dasher, Santana, Quantum, Magotan, Corsar and Carat. The successive generations of the Passat carry the Volkswagen internal designations B1, B2, etc.

A "iv-door coupé" variant of the Passat was released in the North American market in 2008 as the Passat CC, which was and then renamed to Volkswagen CC.

In January 2022, Volkswagen debuted some other Passat model, internally designated Volkswagen New Midsize Sedan or NMS, that would be manufactured at the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant.^[1] SAIC-Volkswagen also manufactures the Passat NMS in its Nanjing factory. The Passat NMS is sold in the Due north America, Due south Korea, China, and Heart Eastward. The separate B8 Passat model entered production in Europe in 2022, based on the MQB platform.

In 2022, the Passat NMS program was split into 2 as the N American one connected existence produced on an older platform while the Chinese Passat moved on to the MQB platform, meaning that Volkswagen currently markets three models of the Passat globally. The North American Passat was phased out for the 2022 model year.^[ii]

B1 (Typ 32; 1973) [edit]

VW Passat Variant LS 1980 (Commonwealth of australia)

The first generation Passat launched in 1973 in two- and four-door sedan and three- and five-door versions. Externally all four shared styling by Giorgetto Giugiaro. The first generation Passat was a fastback variant of the mechanically identical Audi 80 sedan, introduced a year earlier. A five-door station wagon was introduced in 1974, which in North American markets was sold as an Audi Fox. In Europe, the Passat was equipped with 2 rectangular, two circular 7-inch, or four circular v.5-inch headlights depending on specification. The Passat was i of the well-nigh modern European family cars at the fourth dimension, and was intended as a replacement for the ageing Volkswagen Type three and Type 4. The only other European cars of its size to feature front-wheel drive and a hatchback were the Renault 16 and Austin Maxi.

The Passat originally featured the four-cylinder OHC 1.3-litre (55 PS (40 kW; 54 hp)) and 1.v-litre (75 PS (55 kW; 74 hp)/85 PS (63 kW; 84 hp)) petrol engines besides used in the Audi lxxx—longitudinally mounted with front-cycle drive, in Audi tradition, with either a four-speed manual manual or three-speed automatic. It had a MacPherson strut front suspension with a solid beam/ringlet spring setup at the rear.

The SOHC 1.5-litre was enlarged to i.6-litre in August 1975 with unchanged power ratings and slightly college torque ratings. In July 1978, the Passat Diesel became available, equipped with the VW Golf's ane.five-litre diesel (50 PS (37 kW; 49 hp)), followed in February 1979 past the Passat GLI with a fuel-injected version of the ane.half dozen-litre engine.

The range received a facelift in 1977 (launched 1978 exterior Europe) with revised interior and revised exterior with repositioned indicators and depending on model, either four round or two rectangular headlights.

In North America, the car was marketed every bit the Volkswagen Dasher. The three-door hatchback, four-door sedan, and a station wagon model launched in N America for and during the 1974 model twelvemonth. Sole available engine was a carburetted one.5-litre inline-four developing 75 hp (56 kW) (or 70 hp (52 kW) in 1975), supplanted from model year 1976 by a Bosch fuel-injected i.6-litre 4 78 hp (58 kW). North American cars were equipped with unmarried DOT standard headlights.

In 1978, the Dasher received a facelift along the lines of the European Passat, with quad sealed beam headlights and large polyurethane covered bumpers. The trim was likewise upgraded and the ride softened. 1979 saw the introduction of the ane.5-litre diesel engine, which produced just 48 PS (35 kW) in the 1,130 kg (two,490 lb) car. 0–100 km/h time for the Diesel was 19.4 seconds, 6.2 seconds slower than the gasoline (petrol) engine. All gasoline engines were dropped for Northward America in 1981, in preparation for the next generation.

In Brazil, the Passat B1 was produced from June 1974 until 1988. Since the Audi eighty was non marketed in Brazil, the Passat received the Audi's dissimilar front end-end handling after a facelift for 1979. Originally with a i.5-litre engine, during its long life cycle many improvements from the B2 platform were afterwards introduced, like its 1.6 and 1.viii-litre engines, a Brazil-specific face up-lift in 1985, and a five-speed gearbox. A sports version, named Passat TS 1.6 and later Passat GTS ane.8 Pointer was as well introduced.

B2 (Typ 32B; 1981) [edit]

The second generation Passat launched in 1981. The platform, named B2, was once again based on the respective version of the Audi 80, which had been launched in 1978. The B2 Passat was slightly longer. In addition to the Passat hatchbacks and Variants (estate/wagon), there was also a conventional three-box saloon, which until the 1985 facelift was sold equally the Volkswagen Santana in Europe. In the U.s., the Passat/Santana was sold every bit the Volkswagen Breakthrough, available in iii-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, and a wagon model, simply the five-door hatchback was never sold at that place and the iii-door hatchback was dropped later on less than 2 years. The 4-wheel bulldoze Syncro wagon version was introduced in Oct 1984, initially only with the more powerful five-cylinder engine.

The Passat/Santana was also produced and commercialized in Communist china, Mexico, Southward America and South Africa, too. In Mexico, information technology was marketed from 1984 to 1988 as VW Corsar and Corsar Variant (the 4-door saloon and 5-door wagon, respectively). In Argentina, from 1987 to 1991 as the VW Carat. In Brazil, the railroad vehicle model was badged VW Quantum. The Passat saloon and estate were produced in South Africa for the local market place until 1987.

Similar the previous generation, the B2 Passat was mainly sold with four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. Unlike its predecessor, however, top-of the line versions received five-cylinder Audi or VW engines of ane.9–2.ii litres. The 5-cylinder version was sold in the US every bit the Quantum GL-v. In addition to iv- and five-speed manuals and three-speed automated gearboxes, the Passat/Santana was besides available with the VW concern's interesting 4+E transmission. This, also called the "Formel E" had a peculiarly high top gear, which combined with a freewheeling mechanism, provided better gas mileage. An automatic end/showtime was also bachelor in some markets. The four-wheel-drive organization used in the Passat Variant Syncro shared the mechanics of the Audi eighty and not the Volkswagen Golf game Syncro. The Syncro'due south bottom plate was virtually entirely different, requiring a transmission tunnel, a relocated gas tank and no spare tire well (to brand room for the circuitous rear axle assembly). Only the more than popular estate was reengineered. Syncro was as well available in the North American market place, just with the five-cylinder engine.

In 1985, the range received a slight facelift, consisting of new, larger bumpers, interior retouches, a new front grille and new taillights on the hatchback versions. The three-door hatchback was discontinued, while the Santana nameplate was dropped in Europe. The saloon'southward forepart was at present the same as the hatchback and estate. The North American version, however known every bit the Quantum, gained European-manner blended headlamps.

On 31 March 1988, production concluded (although Syncro models continued in production until June) with three,345,248 built in Deutschland. World product totaled approximately iv.5 million units.

B3 and B4 (Typ 35i; 1988) [edit]

Volkswagen Passat B3 sedan (Europe)

Volkswagen Passat B4 Variant (U.k.)

The third generation Passat was introduced in March 1988 in Europe, 1990 in North America, and 1995 in Southward America. The lack of a grille fabricated the car'southward forepart styling reminiscent of older, rear-engined Volkswagens, such as the 411, and also doubled as a modernistic styling trend. The styling was adult from the 1981 aerodynamic (cd 0.25) Auto 2000 concept motorcar.^{[3] [four]}

At the time, it was the first transverse engine layout Passat to be built on a Volkswagen-designed platform, rather than sharing ane with an Audi saloon. The car, although designated B3 in Volkswagen's platform nomenclature, was based largely on the A platform every bit used for the smaller Golf model, simply was stretched in all directions, and therefore had no connection with the B3 series Audi 80, launched two years earlier. Many components are shared straight between these vehicles. This generation of Passat was sold equally a four-door saloon or a five-door estate, with the Passat not being sold as a hatchback from this betoken onwards. It was marketed under the Passat proper name in all markets; in North America, this was a first.

The fuel-injected petrol engines gave better performance and refinement than the carburettor units previously used. They were mounted transversely, and the floorpan was engineered to take Volkswagen's 'Syncro' four-wheel drive system. Engine options were the 2.0-litre 16-valve engine in the GL model, 1.8-litre engine in the CL model (not available in North America, all CLs, GLs, and GLSs had the 2.0 16v), The 1.8 8v 112 bhp Pb engine from the Golf GTi was also used in the Passat GT model. Volkswagen's new 2.eight-litre VR6 engine (too used in the Golf and Corrado) in the GLX/GLS model (introduced in 1991 in Europe and 1992 in North America), and the G60 engine (only available on the Syncro model in Canada for the N American market). The VR6 engine gave the superlative-of-the-range Passat a peak speed of 224 kilometres per hour (139 mph). The 1.9-litre and the one.6-litre diesel engine were besides available as options.

1993 facelift (Passat B4) [edit]

The B3 Passat was heavily facelifted in 1993, and despite being designated B4, it was non an all-new model. The facelift revised external trunk panels except for the roof and glasshouse, with most obvious exterior change seeing the reintroduction of a grille to lucifer the way of the other same-generation Volkswagen models of the era, such equally the Mk3 Golf and Jetta. The interior was mildly updated and included condom equipment, such as dual front airbags and seat belt pretensioners, although the basic dashboard design remained unchanged. The grille was introduced to give the forepart end a more aggressive advent, as the previous model looked too 'passive'.

The auto was available with a Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel fuel engine – an inline 4-cylinder i.9-litre turbodiesel, generating 66 kW (90 PS; 89 bhp) at three,750 rpm and 210 N⋅1000 (155 lbf⋅ft) of torque at ane,900 rpm. It carried a United states of america EPA fuel efficiency rating for the sedan of 45 miles per United states gallon (5.2 L/100 km; 54 mpg_‑imp) highway. Combined with a 98 litres (21.6 imp gal; 25.nine Usa gal) 28 litres (6.2 imp gal; 7.4 Us gal) reserve option fuel tank, the B4 TDI wagon had an 1800+ km (1200+ mi) range on a single tank of fuel. The B4 TDI wagon saw less than 1,000 sales in the US during its 1996 to 1997 lifespan.

B5 (Typ 3B, 1997) and B5.5 (3BG; 2001) [edit]

An all-new Passat, based on the Volkswagen Grouping B5 platform, was launched in February 1997 in Continental Europe and the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, and 1998 in North America. Its PL45 platform was shared with the first-generation "Typ 8D" Audi A4, which was unveiled two years earlier, and saw a return to the Passat sharing its longitudinal engine layout platform with Audi's equivalent model for the first fourth dimension since the second-generation (B2) Passat of 1981, which shared its platform with the second-generation "Typ 81" Audi 80/Audi xc (the A4 is the successor to the Audi 80 line).

The Passat introduced a new pattern language,^{[ commendation needed ]} first seen on the Concept ane concept car, for the latest generation of Volkswagens, such as the Mk4 Golf, Bora and Polo Mk4. Aerodynamic piece of work gave the B5 Passat a coefficient of elevate of 0.27 (saloon model).

The motorcar featured a fully independent four-link front suspension; and a semi-independent torsion beam for forepart-cycle-bulldoze models or a fully independent suspension on the 4motion 4WD models. 4WD was introduced in 1997 as an pick for the 1.eight-litre, 2.8-litre V6, one.9-litre TDI, ii.0-litre TDI and 2.v-litre V6 TDI engines, using a second-generation Torsen T-2 based 4WD system to minimise loss of traction. The 1.8-litre petrol engine in the Passat and Audi A4 has a lower oil capacity than transverse applications of the same engine (4.6 U.s.a. quarts (4.4 l) in transverse, four.iii US quarts (four.1 l) longitudinal), and may suffer from oil sludge problems as a outcome, if not changed at regular intervals with fully constructed oils. Four manual options were available: a 5-speed manual manual, a half dozen-speed manual transmission (codename 01E), a 4-speed automatic transmission and a 5-speed automated manual with tiptronic.

The one.six-litre petrol engine had been dropped past 1999, leaving the ane.8-litre twenty-valve as the entry-level engine.

2001 facelift (Passat B5.five – Typ 3BG) [edit]

The B5.five Passat began production in tardily 2000, with styling and mechanical revisions, including revised projector-optic headlights, bumpers, tail lights, and chrome trim.

A four.0-litre W8 engine producing 275 PS (202 kW) was introduced in 2001 in a luxury version of the car that included standard 4motion all-wheel drive.^[5] This engine was intended to be a test bed for Volkswagen Grouping'southward new W engine technology, which would later make an appearance on the W12 in the Phaeton, Audi A8, and Bentley Continental GT, and the W16 engine in the Bugatti Veyron. The engine was discontinued in 2004.

The B6 debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2005, and launched in Europe in the summer of 2005 for the 2006 model year. Unlike its predecessor, the B6 Passat no longer shared its platform with Audi's equivalent model (the Audi A4). Based on a modified version of the Mk5 Golf'south PQ35 platform (PQ46), the B6 featured a transverse rather than longitudinal engine layout of its predecessor, like the previous B3 and B4 generations, which were related to the A2 (Golf) platform. The PQ46 platform provided increased torsional rigidity.

The transverse-engine layout of the iv-cycle bulldoze version, marketed as 4motion, dictated a switch from the Torsen eye differential of the B5, to the Haldex Traction multi-plate clutch. The change to the Haldex system also changes the handling closer to a front-bicycle drive car. Compared to the Torsen, the Haldex can direct torque more unequally to the front wheels (from 100:0 to fifty:50 front-to-rear bias), thus providing a wider bias range than the 75:25 to 25:75 of the B5 Passat. Haldex is a reactive-blazon system, behaving as a front end-wheel-drive vehicle until slippage is detected, at which bespeak upwardly to a maximum of 50% of the torque can exist transmitted to the rear axle. Come across the Audi-related quattro (iv-cycle-bulldoze organisation) article for more data.

Fuel Stratified Injection is used in every petrol engined version of the Passat, ranging from ane.iv to 3.6 litres (the 1.six-litre DOHC tin can reach 100 km/h (62.i mph) in xi.4 seconds, and 200 km/h (124.3 mph) for manual transmission versions), but the multi-valve 2.0-litre Turbocharged Straight Injection (TDI) diesel is the most sought later version in Europe (available in both 140 PS (103 kW; 138 hp) and 170 PS (125 kW; 168 hp) variants). In the US market place, a 200 PS (147 kW; 197 hp) 2.0-litre turbocharged I4 is the base engine, or a 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) 3.6-litre VR6 engine equally the upgrade, with six-speed manual (only available on the base 2.0-litre turbocharged model) and automatic transmissions. Every bit of the 2009 model year, the VR6 engine and 4motion option were no longer available in the US on the Passat sedan and wagon, but are available on the Passat CC.^[6]

In February 2008, the 2.0 FSI was replaced with the new Audi-developed ane.8-litre TSI engine and 6-speed automated transmission. The i.8-litre T is rated at 160 PS (118 kW; 158 hp) and 250 N⋅one thousand (184 lbf⋅ft) and accelerates from 0–100 km/h in viii.6 seconds, reaching a superlative speed of 220 km/h (136.7 mph). At the same time the 2.0-litre TDI engine from the Audi range, incorporating common rail injection technology superseded the existing 2.0 litre TDI units. The common track technology uses less fuel and is quieter in operation. This engine is part of the wider Volkswagen Group policy for engine sharing.

The Passat Manor won overall winner of Applied Caravans Towcar of the Year Awards 2008 for its array of towing features such every bit its Trailer Stability Programme.

In Asia, the PQ46 Passat was released by FAW-VW as the Magotan, after Volkswagen's other joint venture Shanghai Volkswagen had decided to continue using the B5 platform for the Passat and the Passat Lingyu (long-wheelbase Passat).^[7] Since August 2022, the carriage version of Passat B6 will exist offered in Asia, which is a fully imported model. But this motorcar is simply chosen Volkswagen Variant in China, in order non to refer the name "Passat" or "Magotan".

Sectional to Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand was a limited edition Passat R36, which featured a three.6-litre V6 engine. This version of the Passat put out 300 hp, and featured dual frazzle tips, an ambitious front bonnet, and All Wheel Drive.

Passat CC [edit]

The CC ("Comfort Coupé")^[8] is a 4-door coupé version of the Passat. It debuted at the 2008 Due north American International Auto Show in Detroit. Originally aimed at competing with the similarly styled Mercedes CLS, the Passat CC intends to be more stylish and luxurious than the previously released Passat B6. In the US, the name Passat was dropped, and the car was beingness sold equally just CC.^[ix] Some options specific to the CC include hands-free parking, lane-difference prevention, intelligent cruise control, and adaptive suspension. Engines offered in the CC mirror those of the regular Passat, with options of the base 2.0 litre turbocharged iv-cylinder, or the optional three.half-dozen-litre VR6, which includes 4-movement all-wheel drive.

The Chinese-made CC was released by FAW-VW on 15 July 2022. 2 engine options are provided: i.viii litre T and 2.0 litre T.^[x]

Volkswagen facelifted the Passat CC in late 2022 for the 2022 year, with styling updates akin to those of the larger Phaeton. For the updated model, Volkswagen has dropped the Passat proper noun for all markets, now matching the Volkswagen CC branding used since 2008 in Northward America.^[11]

The B6 Passat was facelifted by Klaus Bischoff and Walter de Silva^[12] and was unveiled at the Paris Motor Testify in September 2022. Although designated "B7" by VW enthusiasts, the motorcar is non an all-new model. The facelift resulted in new external body panels except for the roof and glasshouse, with the prominent changes to the grille and headlights. Overall summit and width dimensions are unchanged from the B6 Passat, while length increases by 4 mm. New features include Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC), Dynamic Calorie-free Assist glare-free loftier beams, a fatigue detection organization and an automatic "city emergency braking" system.^[13] It arrived at dealerships in January 2022.

The interior featured minor detail changes from the B6, although the basic dashboard design remained unchanged.

In Republic of india, the B6 version is likely to be replaced with the B7 version. The new model will be exclusive to the Indian market, and at least 100 mm longer than the European B7.^[14]

In Cathay, the FAW-VW-built Magotan will also be replaced by a long-wheelbase version of the Passat B7. The new model will be exclusive to the Chinese market place, and at to the lowest degree 100 mm longer than the European B7.^[fifteen] Engines bachelor for Magotan B7L are ranging from 1.4-litre T, i.eight-litre T to two.0-litre T, a special-developed EA390 3.0-litre VR6 FSI^[16] engine is opted for the top model.

In Malaysia, Volkswagen Global had authorised DRB-HICOM for assembly in the Pekan facility commencement 2022. The Passat was the best-selling model of Volkswagen Malaysia in 2022 and 2022.

In October 2022, Volkswagen presented at the 2022 Tokyo Motor Show the Passat Alltrack. The Passat Alltrack bridges the gap between the rider VW range and the SUV range comprising the Tiguan and Touareg. The Passat Alltrack was aimed at competing with Subaru Outback, which created a new market niche. They (Alltrack & Outback) both bear resemblance in ride height and external body kit.

The Passat Alltrack has raised footing clearance from 135 to 165 mm which improves approach bending from 13.v to 16 degrees, departure angle from 11.9 to 13.half dozen degrees and ramp bending from 9.five to 12.viii degrees when compared to the standard Passat wagon. Passat Alltrack is the only VW in the passenger range to offer 4Motion with off-road driving plan, the off-road system works in conjunction with the ABS, electronic differential lock (EDL), DSG & loma descent aid arrangement to control the vehicle in an off-road expedition.

The engine range of the Passat Alltrack consists of two 2.0 litre TDI with outputs of 103 kW/140 hp & 125 kW/170 hp and 2 petrol engines, i.8-litre producing 118 kW/160 hp and ii.0 litre TSI producing 155 kW/207 hp. The TDI models come standard with BlueMotion Technology packages with Stop/Showtime organisation and battery regeneration mode for recovering braking energy. The ii lesser powered engine variants 2.0 litre TDI and one.8-litre TSI are only available in front end wheel drive format with a manual 6 speed transmission. The rest of the range with 4Motion has a 6 speed DSG automated manual manual, except the 2.0 litre TDI with 103 kW/140 hp has an option of six speed transmission.

In 2022 at the New York Motorcar Evidence, VW showed a Passat Alltrack with 2.0 litre TDI 125 kW/170 hp under Alltrack Concept nameplate to guess response for a future marketplace in the off-road wagon segment.

DARPA driverless edition [edit]

A driverless version of the Passat Wagon finished second in the 2007 DARPA Urban Claiming.^[17] In spring 2022, Swiss telecommunications company Swisscom tested the driverless Volkswagen Passat on the streets of Zurich.^[18]

B8 (Typ 3G; 2022) [edit]

Volkswagen Passat (B8) SE sedan

Volkswagen Passat (B8) Highline Variant

The eighth generation model of the Passat was introduced in November 2022 in Continental Europe and in Jan 2022 in the Britain as a four-door saloon and estate. Following other Volkswagen Group passenger vehicles such every bit the Volkswagen Golf Mk7, it is based on a stretched variant of the MQB platform, a modular car construction platform designed for transverse, front-engined cars. To reduce weight, lightweight materials such as aluminium and vacuum-formed steel accept been utilised.^[19] According to the chairman of the board of Volkswagen, Martin Winterkorn, the B8 is "a premium car without the premium price", indicating that the Passat nameplate was moved to the modest auto segment, equally opposed to the previous generation models that were conceived as large family cars,^[20] although some machine journalists have criticised this strategy since information technology effectively puts the Passat in competition with the Audi A6.

The Passat was introduced with a great number of advanced commuter-help systems, including a semi-automatic parking arrangement, emergency driver assistant, which will automatically take command of the vehicle if the driver has suffered a medical emergency, autonomous cruise control organization for highway speeds upwardly to 210 km/h, a standoff avoidance system with pedestrian monitoring and variable ratio steering marketed as "progressive steering" which will adapt the steering gear ratios in relation to the current speed.^[21]

The engine line-up of the Passat B7 was re-introduced with this generation with slightly increased ability outputs, variable displacement for the one.4-litre TSI petrol engine and two selective catalytic reduction (SCR) diesel engines, with i beingness twin-turbocharged. A plug-in hybrid, the Passat GTE,^[22] with an updated bombardment pack from the Golf GTE and Audi A3 Sportback e-tron is scheduled for launch in mid-2015 in the U.k. with sales commencing in 2022.^[23]

Led by new primary of pattern Walter de Silva and VW's acquisition of coachbuilder Bertone, the 2022 Passat won the 2022 European Automobile of the Year award.^{[24] [25]}

The Passat B8 continues to exist sold in Red china under the proper noun Magotan; this version has an lxxx mm longer wheelbase.

Other versions [edit]

Passat Lingyu (China; 2005–2011) [edit]

Volkswagen Passat Lingyu (pre-facelift)

The Passat Lingyu is a restyled version of the kickoff generation Škoda Superb for the Chinese marketplace. Manufactured by SAIC Volkswagen, the Passat Lingyu was introduced in 2005, succeeding the Passat B5. The car was designed by Istanbul-born car designer Murat Günak.^[26] In 2009, a facelifted version was introduced as the Passat New Lingyu (Xinlingyu).^{[27] [28]} Production lasted until 2022 and replaced by the Passat NMS.

Volkswagen built 20 examples of a fuel-cell Passat Lingyu in mid-2008 to be presented at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.^[29]

Passat NMS (Due north America and Prc; 2022–present) [edit]

The Passat branches off into two models starting from 2022, the i being the global model sold in Europe and right-manus drive markets, and in Red china as the Magotan, and the other known equally the Passat NMS that is built for the North American and Chinese marketplace. This model is more than downscale compared to the European Passat to attain a lower cost indicate in order to penetrate the mainstream mid-size sedan market.^{[30] [31]} The Passat NMS model was split again in 2022 as the Chinese version moved on to the MQB platform, while the North American model connected to be produced higher up the old platform, equally the pass up of the sedan market in North America has deterred further investments of a MQB-based Passat for the region.

Get-go generation (2011) [edit]

Volkswagen Passat (kickoff generation pre-facelift, United States)

Known as the New Midsize Sedan (NMS) before its unveiling in Jan 2022, this model was designed for the Due north American market, replacing the B6 Passat sedan and wagon. At its introduction, the Passat NMS was part of Volkswagen Group's strategy to sell over 800,000 vehicles per year in the North American marketplace. The Passat NMS is marketed in the North America, Southward Korea, Middle Eastward,^[32] and China, with no plans for a wagon/estate version. North American, Center Eastern and South Korean models are manufactured at its Chattanooga Assembly Constitute.^[33]

In China, the new model is built by SAIC-Volkswagen in its Nanjing factory^[15] and is marketed every bit a more upscale model with some interior and outside differences to the Northward American model, such as forest-trimmed steering cycle, rear air vents, and LED accented headlights. Information technology was sold alongside models such as the long-wheelbase version of the European Passat known every bit the Magotan and a B5 Passat-based Passat Lingyu.^{[34] [35]}

2d generation (North America; 2022) [edit]

Volkswagen Passat (second generation, United States)

A new Passat for the Due north American market was released in 2022 as a 2022 model. The 2022 Volkswagen Passat NMS was completely redesigned except for the platform and powertrain featuring revised exterior styling. Every metal stamping in the exterior was replaced, except the roof stamping. It is equipped with added standard safety and technology features, which include a suite of standard driver assistance technologies, and a 6.33-inch glass-covered touchscreen infotainment arrangement with next-generation VW CarNet 4G LTE in-vehicle telematics. The second generation is still powered past a 174-horsepower, 2.0-liter TSI I4 gasoline engine and six-speed automated manual from the first generation. Following the 2022 model year, Volkswagen discontinued the Passat in Northward America due to tiresome sales.^[36]
