The latest Volkswagen Passat is available in Europe only as a station wagon, but in China it can be bought with a sedan body.
In Europe, new Passat sedans have not been produced since 2019, so fans of this concept should look in the direction of Škoda Superb, Audi A4 or Volkswagen Arteon. In the USA, the production of this Passat will be stopped in 2022, but in China, where the Volkswagen Santana sedan was the best-selling model for several years, the life of the Passat in the sedan body is continue with the new Passat Pro.
The new Passat Pro is slightly larger than the European Passat station wagon, that is, it reaches 5.00 m (+8 cm) in length, and the wheelbase is also 3 cm (2.87 m) longer. Depending on the configuration, the weight of the sedan is 1580-1680 kilograms. The range of engines is not as numerous as the station wagon range, in fact including only two petrol units with a volume of 1.5 and 2.0 litres. They develop 158 and 217 hp, in each case combining automatic transmission and front wheel drive.
The Volkswagen Passat Pro will have its first official appearance soon. The model will be produced for the Chinese market together with Volkswagen’s partner SAIC, creating an alternative to another mid-class sedan – Magotan. The latter is also created in collaboration with a local company, in this case with the Chinese automotive concern FAW.
