Because whether it is B2 or B5 that we are familiar with, it is not too much to say that the Passat opened the door to The Ashkenazi. The B2 of that year was the enlightenment of many people's cars, and the B5 was the first domestic high-end mid-range car in the Chinese market. Coupled with the reasons why many government departments used cars at that time, for a long time, Passat had an impression in people's hearts: officialdom.
If I could drive a Passat more than a decade ago, it would not be a beautiful thing.
However, as powerful as the Passat, it also has to make changes in the downward trend of the market wind. This small makeover, the change is expected, and unexpectedly it brings two different styles of styling, more unexpectedly, the new starry sky version of the model makes the Passat less "Passat", before this I really did not expect the Passat to change in such a direction. Even if someone in their early 20s were driving it, there wouldn't be any sense of violation, which I hadn't expected before.
Dual appearance style, young and mature to take what you need
In other words, the Passat is now really a all-you-can-eat model.
The appearance of the ordinary version is actually nothing to say, the new running lights and tail lights through the grille, the front and middle net fine-tuning, other changes are not so much. The focus is on the starry sky version of the model, and the ordinary version of the model parked together is obviously much younger, the dot-matrix grille, the fully penetrating lower middle net, the black decorative strips at the front of the hood, and the color of glacier blue, and the impression of the mature car is distinguished.
The taste of virtue is still the same,
But the ride is more comfortable
The change in appearance alone has widened the age span of Passat's target group users a lot.
When it comes up, this powertrain is really too familiar to be familiar anymore. The high and low power of 2.0T matches the DQ381 seven-speed wet dual clutch. Compared with the EA888 in the National V period, the general power response of the models of the National VI is slightly slower, but the DQ381 has been improved in detail, and the low-speed gear shift is more smooth and gentle, plus the lighter steering wheel adjusted by Volkswagen in recent years, the experience of urban driving is actually a very smooth and comfortable feeling.
Fortunately, the chassis is still as tight as ever, not as gentle as the direction. Clear road feedback will give you a feeling of communication between people and cars, not only passats, but also Group's B-class cars have this feeling, which is very familiar. The whole suspension is also the feeling of the front and back foot, so driving up, this latest Passat is definitely not a surprise, but everything is expected familiar, if you are used to Volkswagen, you will also like this feeling. If you haven't touched Volkswagen before, it's easy to get started.
Switch to S gear, and the familiar feeling comes again. The power response is positive, the deep throttle reserve is sufficient, the acceleration overtaking is completed in one go, although it is still familiar with the 2.0T high power that can no longer be familiar, so many years of power has not been greatly improved, but its power performance at the same level is still one of the best. The acceleration of the 100 km/h in the meat test should be about 7s, especially the acceleration in the second and third gears is very powerful.
As for fuel consumption, high-speed travel assistance, from Shenzhen to Shunde, the whole fuel consumption is only 6L or so. So the powertrain piece, Passat really has nothing to say, what to have.
The only fly in the ointment is its tire noise. The Goodyear Series tires equipped with the test drive can be said to be the biggest source of noise during the entire test drive, and this feeling is especially obvious in the rear row. Open goodyear's official website, in fact, you can see that the royal ride has a label is "mute", but the actual tire noise performance and the declared silence are far from each other, so for the owner of the new Passat, change a better set of tires, there may be a lot of improvement in the riding experience.
Technology augmentation, online interconnection all have
Compared to the Golf, The New Octavia Pro and ID. Series, the new Passat does not use the latest engine system, but is equipped with a newly upgraded third-generation 866 console. Compared with the previous generation of MIB hosts, the feature of the third generation of 866 is wireless interconnection, not only the access of vehicles and the Internet, but also supports the wireless mobile phone interconnection function, which is still a lot of improvement for the convenience of daily use.
The Internet of Vehicles function has added smart home, online music and other functions, which can be awakened through the voice of "Hello Volkswagen". In terms of actual experience, the content of voice control is limited, far less comprehensive than that of Chinese brands, but the recognition rate and reaction speed are not picked, which once again reflects the orientation of the old joint venture brand in the new function equipment, not seeking the latest, but seeking the most stable. Daily navigation, music and other functions can be easily implemented, so there is no problem in the use experience.
Coupled with LCD meters, touch air conditioning areas, etc., the sense of technology in the Passat car is also keeping up with the pace of the times.
The space is excellent, or the old way
As for the Space of passats, this is not much of an improvement. Of course, the reason for the lack of a big improvement is because it is already very good in space, and it is one of the best in the B-class car.
The panoramic sunroof can take care of the rear passengers, and the rear configuration is not low. Manual side window sun blinds, co-driver's boss key, independent air conditioning control area, plus the space to stilt legs, to be honest, I would rather sit in the back of this Passat than drive.
To briefly summarize the 2022 Parsat, it is both familiar and strange. Familiarity is because of small modifications, everything is the taste of memory, driving, configuration, workmanship materials, etc., strangeness is because of the addition of double appearance. To be honest, the starry sky version of the model is not a problem that is not like the Passat, this design is not like a Volkswagen at all, which is the biggest surprise for young consumers. However, the current starry sky version of the model seems to only have 330TSI, for young consumers who have the pursuit of power, 380TSI and starry sky version is the perfect match of appearance and strength, so when can the 380TSI star version of the model be produced? SAIC Volkswagen can consider it.
