Introduction: Not long ago, the author learned that the Passat in the US market has officially stopped production, and at the same time in the European market, the Passat sedan has also stopped production. However, it should be pointed out that the Passat sedan in the European market is discontinued, but the Passat travel version is still being produced and updated, and in the future in the European market, only the Passat travel version will be provided, which is also suitable for Europeans to like the station wagon.
Recently, a new generation of Volkswagen Passat B9 in the European road test without camouflage spy photos exposed, the wagon structure of the Passat B9, in the domestic market can be seen as "Weilan", but according to the current domestic Sales situation of Weilan, the follow-up Weilan will not be imported, or an unknown.
As we all know, although Weilan, as a station wagon, sells generally in China, the other two medium-sized sedans of the sedan version, the Maiten and Passat, are in a very good condition. Then, we may wish to guess what the next generation of Magotan or Passat will look like based on this set of Passat travel photos.
According to the previous law, the European version of the Passat corresponds to FAW-Volkswagen Magotan in China, and the American version of the Passat corresponds to the SAIC-Volkswagen Passat in China. In terms of relationship intimacy, the European version of the Passat and The Maiten are obviously closer, so the appearance of the next generation of Maiten will have many shadows of this Passat B9.
It is worth mentioning that due to the discontinuation of the US version of Passat, it is expected that the follow-up domestic Passat will also be based on the European version of Passat, but between it and Magotan, there should be some changes to reflect the differentiated attributes.

The current Magotan
In the front face part, the B9 Passat Travel Edition has similarities with the B8 Magotan and Wei Lan, but a closer look can see the differences between them, such as the light group has been enriched inside, and the shape of the lower encirclement has been changed.
In the side part, we do not discuss the shape of the second half, because this is also the embodiment of the difference between the sedan and the station wagon, but there is a detail in the position of the B-pillar, which is still eye-catching, that is, between the front and rear doors, there is more than one vertical partition strip, which is the current Maiten and Wei Lan, I don't know if there will be reservations in the future on the Magotan.
Ah Chuan commented on the car
From the perspective of the new generation of B9 Passat exposed in the European market, although a niche station wagon for The domestic will not necessarily be introduced, the sedan version of the Passat (Maiten) will not be absent domestically. From the appearance point of view, the difference between the B9's Passat and the B8's Maitan in the front face part is not too big, but it is estimated that the mechanical quality and configuration part that cannot be seen will be improved. So let's look forward to the B9 generation of Maitone/Passat.
