2014, the eighth generation of the VW Passat is ready. One is to accuse no longer lack her k?nnen. Daf?r to ensure sch?rfere contours. The face gets more profile, because the front end is plastic pr?sentieren are in the top view st?rker gepfeilt and the grill. By Georg Kacher the Passat swirls k?nftig kr?ftiger, that's for sure. And he bl?st from three different directions: in Europe on the platform of the n?chsten Gulf, in America on the basis of the current euro model. And in China, as there the wind already blowing ? with known technology n?mlich, but as XL with verl?ngertem wheelbase and eigenst?ndiger appearance. All may make sense f?r VW, however only the euro Passat with code B8 is leading the way. After VW into account is the eighth generation of the best-selling book, slightly cheating, because the current was only a model maintenance. The crucial step in the B8: the change from PQ47 to MQB-B. We ?bersetzen: the seventh generation of the previous platform with transverse engine is PQ47 f?r, MQB-B f?r describes the new technology modular front with a transverse engine. And those in the B-format (Passat class). This means at the same time: it remains in the separation between VW Passat (transverse engine) and Audi A4 (L?ngsmotor).
The "tornado"line in H?he of the T?rgriffe is new in the Passat number eight. MQB covers f?r almost the entire spectrum of the Polo the VW brand to the Passat. Among them is from end of the year f?r the slimmed-down PQ construction kit the small up, dar?ber heavy Phaeton, which shares the Foundation since 2004 with the Bentley Continental towers. Because there exists still a gro?e L?cke between the B-segment of the Passat and the D Segmemt of Phaeton, both on the n?chsten model change are approaching each other. A previously planned super Passat on the basis of the Audi A6 (code: VW 511), however, is off the table. The MQB method has three main advantages:, h?here Flexibilit?t ? space, lighter better ? reduced costs through standardization, more security allows gr??ere broad range in body, drive and equipping ? modular system. Clear that also the Passat number is eight first again as viert?rige saloon in the race. But already three months sp?ter also the popular to variant verf?gbar be. The second edition of viert?rigen CC is also scheduled ? only to the schedule the spirits differ. Some promote a Fr?hstart in the summer of 2013, 2015, others prefer the Fr?hjahr. Still not decided, but already in the drawer of ideas, are two more derivatives: Passat Coup?, zweit?rig, an elegant, ger?umiger notchback four below the Audi A5 and in the group without Gegenst?ck. Secondly, of which the Passat derived, convertible, in contrast to the A5 cabriolet with metal roof. More air provide this model k?nnte the EOS replace and thus the golf Cabrio. All does not however, so now the knowledge, if the people in the Passat see the sleeping pill of the model programme. Verwechselbarkeit, no emotion is the criticism, and it will be to use the designer to the einschl?gigen Gegenma?nahmen: sch?rfere contours at the flanks a distinctive "tornado" line, which to the R?ckleuchten verl?uft to H?he of the T?rgriffe of the front Kotfl?gel. The new roof arch is Au?erdem coup?hafter and stretched. The face gets more profile, because the front end is plastic pr?sentieren are in the top view st?rker gepfeilt and the grill. Lighting designers to to the inner workings of the luminaire k?mmern: instead of the punktf?rmigen bandf?rmige diodes put light accents. Whether it something n?tzt? Because first, we must trust the Chief stylist of Walter de'Silva. But also in terms value the Passat B8 is more attractive, d?rfte look what ? above all the traditional clientele of ? families and commercial agents. The wheelbase w?chst and with it the legroom in the rear (as well as the cargo space in the variant). As modular as the architecture of the New Passat also the new Motorenbauk?sten connected with the letter combinations of MDS (diesel) and MBB (gasoline) in the ?brigen. Specifically it is TDI cylinder of series EA288 and TSI aggregates of families EA211 (scratch) and EA888 (3rd generation). The endg?ltige scale d?rfte look like: ? 1.4 TSI, 130 PS / 200 nm ? 1.4 TSI, 150 PS / 230 nm ? 1.8 TSI, 180 PS / 250 Nm ? 2.0 TSI, 210 HP / 280 nm ? ? 2.0 TSI, 250 PS / 350 nm 1.6 TDI, 105 PS / 250 Nm ? 2.0 TDI 143 PS / 320 nm ? 2.0 TDI, 177 PS / 380 nm ? 2.0 BiTDI, 204 PS / 450 nm. The VR6 engine entf?llt and is replaced by the 250 PS strong cylinder ? probably in combination with 4Motion-Allradantrieb. The 2007 angek?ndigte turbo-diesel with 204 PS celebrates premiere in the New Passat.
The hybrid versions are also far advanced. The Mildhybrid beschr?nkt primarily on a back-up battery, with the brake energy save and get back to speed up l?sst. Purely electric driving is only m?glich from the plug-in hybrids. Here two stages with 70 and 110 PS in the discussion are f?r the Passat B8 where are the electric motors in the Geh?use of then serienm??igen dual-clutch transmission. These models k?nnen according to use case after all between 20 and 60 km under current drive. The clean natural gas drive, in the form of the 150 PS of strong 1, 4-litre TSIMaschine is still maintained. Full program so, with the ambition of VW bosses forbid it d?rfte that is the company k?nftig is even the slightest Bl??e in the middle class. They want to be Schlie?Lich until then the Gr??ten of the world.
