Volkswagen is in a period of reconfiguring its model offering. The German firm is working on a new generation of the Passat Variant. The family model, whose design we are giving you in advance, is in an advanced stage of development and will be one of the great novelties of 2024.
Volkswagen took on the Passat. The German brand knows that sedans no longer have the same pull as before, the main reason for ceasing production of this model. But, far from completely abandoning the D-segment, the manufacturer has decided to offer a new generation of the estate varianta body that in the countries of central Europe has a lot of pull and that generates high sales figures.
A very interesting model that is in testing and in an advanced state of development, despite the fact that it has been missing since the last winter tests. The Volkswagen Passat Variant will present a more modern design as you can see in this recreation that we anticipate you. The Wolfsburg stylists are banking on slimmer headlights with some influence from the electric Volkswagen ID. models, integrating themselves into an increasingly slimmer upper grille like that of the Golf.
The novelties of the Volkswagen Passat Variant 2024
The front bumper will be cleaner, albeit with a large grill for ventilation and cooling of mechanics. At the opposite extreme, the pilots will also present a new design. The familiar will also be larger, with a small increase in practically all levels except for the height that will decrease a few millimeters.
The manufacturer seeks greater interior roominess, especially in the rear seats with more leg room and elbow room. But what will stand out the most will be the design of the dashboard. Volkswagen is completely transforming the design of its interiors, betting more on digitization and minimalism. The center console will draw more attention with a large touch screen for the multimedia platform, also including the small gear lever and a driving mode rotary switch at the base of the transmission tunnel.
The new station wagon will be presented in the second half of 2023, putting for sale in the first half of 2024, with a range of gasoline and diesel engines associated with the 7-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The range will also feature a PHEV version with the surname “eHybrid”, premiering the new set with the 1.5 TSI engine replacing the old 1.4 TSI. An offer that will also keep the choice between front-wheel drive and 4MOTION all-wheel drive.
