Volkswagen Passat, it is fitting to say that it is a benchmark in the joint venture mid-size car market! In January this year, the Passat sold 22,313 vehicles per month, which was higher than the sales of the same level of Magotan and Accord and Camry models. The 2024 Passat will be available in a total of 11 configurations, offering 14t and high and low 2There are three power versions with 0T, and the price range is 18190,000-24330,000 yuan, currentlyChengduRegional Offer 2About 70,000 yuan (specific discounts are subject to local dealers**). The actual model we took at the store this time is the 2024 330TSI Star Elite Edition, and the guide price of the new car is 20590 thousand. Compared with the brother model Magotan, is the Passat worth buying?
Compared with the current Magotan's more business-oriented styling, the appearance of this starry version of the Passat is younger and sportier, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young people. If you want to be mature and stable, you can choose the business version model. The front face of the Star version of the model is treated with a large area of blackening, and the front face of the business version of the model has more horizontal silver decorative strips; It can be seen that this generation of Passat wants to attract users of different ages through different front face styles. Matrix headlights are only available on models above the 380TSI luxury version, and there are also adaptive high and low beams, headlight steering, and 10-color ambient lighting in the car.
The length, width and height of the Passat are 4948x1836x1469mm, and the wheelbase is 2871mm. The car is 82mm longer than the Magotan and although the wheelbase of the two cars is the same, the Passat is more slender in terms of visual effect. The taillights adopt the current popular through-type design, with rich horizontal lines, and the rear level is relatively clear.
Sitting in the car, although the Passat and Magotan are brother models, the interior adopts different design styles. The Passat's instrument panel is tilted to the driver's side, while the center console is high enough to see the screen without the driver having to look down. It should be noted that the screen size of the Elite Edition models is 8 inches, 9The 2-inch screen is only available on models from the 380TSI Luxury Edition. This set of car machine system with Internet of Vehicles function, support Apple carplay, carlife mobile phone interconnection, to meet the daily use of no pressure. One thing that I think the Passat is worth optimising, the door handles are made of hard plastic, while the Magotan is made of leather.
In terms of space, as a benchmark model in medium-sized cars, the rear space of the Passat should be praised, which is much larger than the rear row of the Accord, Teana, and Camry. The configuration level of this car is not low, front and rear reversing radar, reversing image, full-speed adaptive cruise, panoramic sunroof, electric adjustment of the main and auxiliary seats, heating and ventilation of the front seats, and the co-pilot boss key are all standard.
In terms of power, take this 330TSI model as an example, 2The 0-liter low-power engine has a maximum power of 137 kW (186 PS) and a maximum torque of 320 Nm, and is mated to a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. There's not much to talk about in the power part, whether it's 14t or high and low power 20T, which is available on the current Magotan model. Of course, as a mid-size car, 1.The 4T power version is not recommended personally, the reason is very simple, the power response of the middle and rear sections is slightly weak, and it is often necessary to wait 1-2 seconds to feel the power output when overtaking, and it is recommended to consider 2 when running at high speed0T model.
In terms of chassis, the Passat also adopts a front MacPherson rear multi-link independent suspension structure. Although it is a sibling model to the Magotan model, the Passat feels more comfortable when driving, and the damping of the shock absorbers is not stiff through speed bumps or potholes, and it does not feel bumpy when sitting in the back. The steering force of the steering wheel is still a strong electronic flavor, fortunately, the directivity is more accurate, and the head of the car can respond quickly when turning the direction slightly, and at the same time, when running at high speed, the steering force will become heavier when the speed increases, and there will be confidence in changing lanes and overtaking.
Final Summary:
In the hearts of many people, the Passat has always had the image of an official car, and for the older generation, the Passat is a representative model of a medium-sized commercial vehicle. The current Passat is available in two different styles of front ends, and its audience is no longer middle-aged consumers, and the appearance of this Starry Sky Edition model can be recognized by young people. Although the interior layout is relatively simple, it is more durable and will not feel outdated after a long time. With spacious rear space and soft seats, it is suitable for both home and business.
