Feng Shui turns around, which is the most suitable way to describe the North and South models that are also enemies and friends. The models introduced back then filled the gap of mid-range cars, but they have been suppressed for many years. With a preconceived advantage, even the three words themselves have become the second most influential sub-brand.

Highlights: Models on the same platform, larger in size
In July 2016, the first generation was replaced, which was already quite old in comparison. Coupled with the leading commercial vehicle market, with the limitation of official consumption, it showed a shrinking trend, while the main personal consumption vehicle market grew rapidly with consumption upgrades. Therefore, the sales volume of the last two years will be steadily blocked behind. Taking the results of 2018 as an example, the average monthly sales volume is more than 20,000 vehicles, ranking firmly in the same market champion throne, and the sales volume can only be maintained at the average monthly 15,000 vehicles, which has been opened up a significant gap.
After a lapse of two years, the new model will finally usher in a replacement. Its new generation of models will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year, corresponding to the new car effect that has been on the market for more than two years is fading. Therefore, the position of the middle-class car champion may have to change again, and it is very likely to be regained. The new means of secrecy is very clever, and it is not surprising that it appears in the MIIT catalog as a production version now, because the road test of the new model has already begun, but it is cleverly disguised with stickers to disguise it as the old model, rather than the swaggering mosaic or zebra camouflage of other new cars. In addition, the new model itself is based on the mature platform of the model, so the test cycle of matching with the powertrain is greatly saved.
After the Germans gave the new Passat, the replacement was similar to the American version of the NMS model, and the two models had obvious differences in terms of specifications and body architecture. However, the next generation will be based on the platform, that is to say, based on the overseas standard version of the Passat platform, only the body part adopts a differentiated design. This is like a two-car strategy like and.
It can be seen that the new generation of 2871mm, front 1584mm and 1570mm are exactly the same, 68mm longer than the current model, and 7mm and 20mm wider respectively. The real difference lies in part, the new one is a lot longer than the one, and it is close to the size specifications of the B + class model. Its length, width and height are 4933 * 1836 * 1469mm, and the width and height are similar settings, but the length has been greatly increased by 67mm. Of course, because of the same, there will not be much difference in car space. The new one is mainly longer than the larger front and rear suspension size, which is 29mm longer than the front suspension and 38mm longer than the rear suspension. This is quite close to the current front and rear suspension size, but because of the increase in length caused by the extension, coupled with the slight reduction in height, the new one looks much slender than the current one.
The new air intake grille is larger in size and has a higher degree of integration with the headlights, obviously inheriting the Arteon (domestic second generation CC) and the new design style. The upper and lower borders of the grille are wide chrome-plated trims, and the upper part extends to cover the entire lamp eyebrow. The horizontal grille in the middle adopts a line-shaped chrome-plated trim.
The single lamp of the high and low-end models is not very different in appearance, but the technical specifications still pull out the difference. The high-end version adopts a matrix-style full, and the light strip on the lower edge of the headlight is also upgraded to a more delicate horizontal strip light strip composed of dense vertical strips. There are some black thin strips connected to the lower air intake grille of the front bar, which helps to improve the sense of hierarchy. The lower grille of the high-end model is decorated with chrome-plated horizontal strips.
It continued the design of the current model, with a fixed porthole on the C pillar, and the rear door was similar to the structure of the corner of Holmes. This design allowed the entire rear door to open, but in terms of the opening area, it was actually similar.
The new one has a similar sharp waist line, which also reflects the stamping manufacturing process of completely different difficulty from the current one designed a few years ago. There is a knife-shaped chrome-plated decorative module in the position, which is also a design commonly used in new cars recently. According to the configuration differences, there are three specifications of 16/17/18 inches, with 215/60R16, 215/55R17, 235/4R18 respectively. The roof has the configuration differences of ordinary and.
Compared with the current model and the OK, the new rear windshield glass is further integrated into the trunk, showing a more obvious slippery back profile. Just as the license plate mounting position has always been designed on the rear bar, and it has always been designed on the trunk cover. The English letters of PASSAT are added under the rear logo, which is also a new style design of many recent models.
The design of the taillight set is actually very similar to the current one, including the outline of the taillight set and the reflective strips on both sides of the trunk cover. It’s just that the new taillight is flatter and full, and it also has the same dynamic taillight display effect. The new model adopts a fully hidden layout, with a shaped underside of the rear bar, but it is not a one-piece chrome frame decoration.
The power system is slightly different from the current model. The 380TSI model and the 280TSI model are still equipped with 2.0T with a peak of 162kW and 1.4T with a peak of 110kW. The only change is the 330TSI model, which replaces the original 1.8T with a lower version of 2.0T. The peak is increased from 132kW to 137kW and from 300Nm to 320Nm. It is still paired with 7 speeds.
Compared with several 330TSI models, the current and 1580kg are 1580kg and 1540kg respectively, and the combined working conditions are 6.8L and 6.4L. The new one has better lightweight technology, but the size is larger, so its 1575kg is in between. But after using the new low 2.0T, only 6.3L is the lowest one. This also reflects the significance of replacing 1.8T with 2.0T.
