Volkswagen's old model Passat, which came out in 1973, has recently been announced that the four-door version has officially stopped production in the European market, and will only retain the Variant station wagon with high market acceptance in the future, and its product vacancy is rumored to be replaced by the ID. Pure Electric Sedan ID.Aero (tentatively) with a body size, and the new car will be unveiled as soon as next year!
In fact, the news of the delisting of The European Standard Passat Sedan was very loud as early as 2020, and the original outside world was expected to continue at least until 2023, but it is clear that the original factory ate the iron heart of the scale and decided to quickly cut the chaos and suspend this medium and large RV that has not been the mainstream of the market. Coupled with the announcement of the suspension of the US passport in July last year, the VW of North America (at that time, there was a limited edition of the Passat Limited Edition), it can be said that it symbolizes the official farewell of this half-century and household-known four-door sedan.
Even so, the Passat series will retain the Passat Variant station wagon and continue to compete in the station wagon and sedan markets with the more fashionable Arteon and Arteon Shooting Brake. Speaking of the new overhaul of the ninth generation Ofat (B9), the rumor will be officially unveiled as soon as next year, and will be equipped with an improved MQB chassis, hoping to gain the favor of station wagon buyers. As mentioned earlier, in the future, the four-door Passat will be replaced by the pure electric motorhome of the ID.Aero (tentatively called), which is expected to provide about 700km pure electric mileage (WLTP standard) with the MEB pure electric platform.
