The reason why Accord, Camry and Tianlai Three Musketeers can occupy the top sales volume in the domestic mid-size car market, and their appearance focuses on young and fashionable design styles, which is the reason for attracting young consumers to place orders. As the most popular German brand in the domestic market, Volkswagen also has Passat and Magotan, but there is a big gap between sales and these three Japanese cars. However, from the perspective of recent sales, the Passat sold 13,729 vehicles in a single month in November this year, and the gap between sales is narrowing. Of course, this is also inseparable from the design level, after all, this time Passat provides two sets of design styles, which truly shows the strength of "all ages".
The price range of the 2022 Volkswagen Passat is 179,900-250,900 yuan, and the average discount in the terminal market is currently around 10,000 yuan, and the price is basically the same as that of Accord and Camry. If the price alone can attract consumers, it is obvious that the advantage of natural sound will be better. Therefore, the advantages of Passat are reflected in the larger seating space, richer and more diverse configurations, and the creation of a sense of luxury. In addition to the lowest models, such as the main co-pilot position electrical adjustment, seat heating, co-pilot boss key are equipped, the mid-to-high model even adds front seat ventilation /massage, and the main driver's seat memory function, compared with the horizontal competitors, the Passat has a richer comfort configuration.
At present, the car buying group is mainly young users, which shows that it is very appropriate for Passat to provide two sets of front face styles, which can meet the aesthetic needs of users from different angles. Taking the starry sky version as an example, the front grille net adopts a dot matrix design, the lower bracket is supplemented by a black honeycomb trim panel, the two sides are symmetrical C-type chrome strips, and the lower bar is embellished with horizontal chrome strips, while creating a young atmosphere, the entire front of the car still gives people a mature and stable visual effect. The light strip of China Net further improves the recognition, after all, the only joint venture medium-sized car with a running light at the same price is the Passat. The slender lines on the side with the 18-inch rim also appear more atmospheric, the through-type taillights and headlights form a distant echo, the light cavity structure is complex, and the lighting effect is comparable to that of luxury cars.
Inside the car, the mid-term redesign of the Passat interior did not follow the latest design concept compared to the shape; the center console was still designed with an asymmetrical, biased driver's seat. Most of the materials are soft materials, and the inside of the glove box is supplemented with plush materials, combined with the white stitching of the seat and the edge of the soft material, which will naturally give people a delicate visual feeling. The size of the central control screen is 9.2 inches (the low-end model is 8 inches), support Apple CarPlay, Baidu CarLife mobile phone interconnection, although the built-in car networking function, but the car machine system needs to be upgraded when still need to go to the after-sales department to solve. The 10.2-inch full LCD dashboard takes into account a good display effect, and the functions that can be displayed are also rich. There may be shortcomings in comparing horizontal competitors, but in terms of visual perception, Passat does do do it advanced enough, what do you think?
If the Rear Space of the Accord is spacious enough, the back space of the Passat is definitely comparable to that of an Executive Class car. The length and width of the body are 4948/1836/1469mm, and the wheelbase is 2871mm; taking the body of the experiencer as an example (180cm 75kg), sitting in the rear legroom is more than 3 fists, the head space is nearly 1 fist, and the panoramic sunroof expands the field of view, and the leather seat takes into account the comfort. Of course, the bulge of the central floor is also a clichéd problem, and under the premise of full capacity, the middle passengers naturally need to split their legs to ride. The sound insulation and quietness of the car are good, and the mid-to-high models also have manual sun blinds, which is a rare configuration of horizontal competitors.
In terms of power, the Passat has three sets of power combinations, which are 1.4T and 2.0T high and low power. 1.4T + 7 fast dry type dual clutch, this set of power specifications in Langyi, Bora, Sagitar are equipped, 110kW / 250N · m / 150 horsepower, power book parameters can only be rated as enough, in traffic jams, the gearbox will have a certain setback. 2.0T low power with 137kW/320N·m/186 horsepower, as a full range of volume models, zero hundred acceleration 8.4 seconds is naturally enough to use, the transmission matching 7 wet type double clutch, less frustration, durability is also higher. The 2.0T high power has 162kW/350N·m/220 horsepower, and zero hundred acceleration takes only 7.4 seconds, but the appearance does not provide the starry sky version. The suspension structure is front McPherson + rear multi-link, the overall comfortable tuning orientation, the sense of sport is almost interesting.
In summary, the appearance of the Passat after the mid-term redesign has changed greatly, and the regular version is more suitable for business talks and more suitable for middle-aged consumers. The Starry Sky edition is undoubtedly designed for today's younger consumers, and the shape alone allows consumers to place orders. The interior space is as large as ever, the comfort configuration is rich enough, and the flexible and easy-to-use car engine system makes it impossible for the Passat Ying to usher in high sales today. For the Passat, do you like it?
