    Vehicle Overview

    Volkswagen introduced the fourth generation of the Passat lineup in 1996. It was a revolution in design and features compared to its predecessor. As a result, many people considered it the best Passat of all times.

    While most Volkswagen vehicles were built with a transverse-mounted engine, the Passat was built on a different platform, with a longitudinally mounted powerplant. It was an unusual decision, but it paid off. It was not only a dependable vehicle but also comfortable, trustworthy, and, with the right options, a competitor for premium vehicles.

    Volkswagen decided to introduce a vehicle with round shapes, curved lines, and angular headlights in the full bio-design era. A game of lights and shadows made this vehicle look attractive even though its details were somehow bland. The curved greenhouse sported a third, small, triangular window behind the rear doors. The corner-mounted taillights flanked the trunk lid opening with their red lenses at the back, apart from the white reversing lights.

    On the inside, the carmaker placed a dashboard with a curved design. The instrument cluster resembled the same shape as the car’s greenhouse. At the same time, a tall center console separated the front bucket seats. The bench was wide enough for three passengers at the back, but the tall tunnel that crossed the car from front to rear limited the legroom for a middle occupant.

    Under the hood, Volkswagen offered something for everyone. It started with a 1.6-liter gasoline-powered engine that was relatively weak for this heavy vehicle. But since the diesel-powered versions already gained traction on the market, Volkswagen decided to install an extensive choice of them, with either a front or an all-wheel drive system.
