Recently, we have obtained the latest spy photos of the new Volkswagen Passat from relevant channels, which may be unveiled in the second half of 2023, with the latest exterior and interior design of the Volkswagen family, and the wheelbase will also be extended to provide more ample space, and according to Volkswagen's latest product planning, it may only provide travel products. For the domestic market, the car corresponds to Weilan.
According to Volkswagen's future pure electrification strategy, the new Volkswagen Passat may become the last generation of products with internal combustion engines, and the Volkswagen CC will fill the market for sedans in the future, so it may only launch a travel version.
It is reasonable to say that the new Volkswagen Passat should be a replacement product for imported Weilan or domestic Magotan, but it may not launch a sedan, so whether it will be introduced in the future can only wait for official news.
In terms of powertrain, the new Volkswagen Passat will enhance the introduction of electrification systems, 48-volt light hybrid systems will be heavily matched with fuel engines, and may also increase the number of plug-in hybrid models, and match with gasoline and diesel engines, when 1.4T and 2.0T engines are expected to continue to appear as the main force.
According to the data displayed in the "retention rate" list of the Easycar App, the three-year retention rate of Volkswagen Weilan in imported mid-size cars is 65.62%, ranking 15th, between the Genises G70 and Alfa Romeo Giulia, if the future of the new replacement products after the launch of a more comprehensive upgrade, then the car's retention rate may be improved.
