The discussion of the new generation of B9 platform has not stopped since last year, and it is reported that this B9 platform has been officially "aborted" in Europe, and the models that have been launched will all be transferred to FAW-Volkswagen. To put it bluntly, that is, in the future, only the Chinese market will use B9 platform models, so according to the judgment of the model, the new car is basically Magotan!
Of course, there is no accurate news about whether overseas will continue with the European version of Passat, but one thing is certain, there is no regard for overseas markets, but in China, the B9 platform has been officially launched, and it is expected to be fully listed before the end of the year, if the news is true, then this car will become faw-Volkswagen's first new platform model developed in China, which has played a very important role in promoting the entire brand or product. The new car will make comprehensive adjustments to the appearance and interior, based on the consideration of future models, the appearance may be cancelled the conventional layout, that is, the more futuristic shape of the picture above, the entire grille has been moved down, and the front surround is perfectly fitted together to form a coherence. The double headlights have also become unusually sharp, with the LED strips up and down, the effect is not familiar with the Audi series!
And this minimalist style also continues to the side, which is a clear difference with the previous generation of European version of passat (Maiten), that is, more attention to the sense of business, even if the waist line is designed, it is only the point to the end, and the addition of large-size full-fork wheels shows a sense of sport! In terms of the tail, the entire taillights have completely formed a whole, and the water-drip lighting method on both sides is not inferior to the Mercedes-Benz series at all. Below we see a more commercial bilateral exhaust, which is more artistic than ever. I don't know if you feel the same way!
Although there is no news on the interior, but it is basically certain that the entire interior will completely abandon the design style of the nesting doll, and the most likely to be used is the interior layout of the 8th generation golf, from the entire sense of design, to the sports line, the new golf is in line with the positioning of the B9 platform, it is also the embodiment of multiple elements, of course, the specific layout can only wait until after the listing to be revealed, and it is only for the small partner as a reference. In terms of high technology, the European version of the B9 platform will be equipped with a HUD head-up display, 360-degree ring shadow, multi-color mood lights and four driving modes. Equipped with Volkswagen's new "digital cockpit system", support for 5G Car2X in-vehicle safety communication technology and the new Volkswagen ravel Assist cruise assist system, this should be the main function of the B9 platform!
Power, in terms of fuel engine will be equipped with two sets of systems, namely 1.5T EVO engine (replacing the 1.4T version), and the other is a high and low power 2.0T engine, the gearbox is 7-speed DSG gearbox, the difference is 1.5T for dry and 2.0T for wet, reliability, Xiaobian is not more introduced, naturally the latter is better! This B9 platform model is expected to debut before the end of the year, and we will wait and see!
