The Volkswagen Passat, produced from 1995 to 1997, marks a significant point in the evolution of this popular mid-size sedan. This generation, known internally as the B4, was a global success story, attracting buyers with its blend of practicality, robust engineering, and German reliability. Building upon the foundations laid by its predecessor, the B3, the B4 introduced a number of refinements, primarily in the areas of design, comfort, and performance. A more aerodynamic bodywork contributed to improved fuel efficiency and a quieter ride, while a redesigned interior offered more space and a more refined aesthetic. Under the hood, a range of gasoline and diesel engines were available, including the powerful VR6, offering a balance of power and efficiency. This generation of Passat also saw the introduction of the popular 1.9 TDI engine, which cemented Volkswagen's reputation for building fuel-efficient and reliable diesel powertrains. While the B4 Passat remained largely faithful to the traditional Volkswagen formula of solid engineering and practicality, it also made strides in terms of comfort and refinement. The suspension was tuned for a more comfortable ride, while additional soundproofing further reduced noise levels in the cabin. Safety was also a priority, with features like standard ABS and driver's airbags becoming more commonplace. Despite its age, the B4 Passat remains a desirable car for many, offering a compelling blend of practicality, affordability, and German engineering quality. Its robust design and proven reliability make it a suitable choice for those seeking a used car with a solid reputation. However, like any older car, it does require regular maintenance, for which the Volkswagen Passat 1995-1997 Full Service Repair Manual provides invaluable assistance.
