The Volkswagen Passat, produced from 1995 to 1997, marked a significant shift in the model's design and engineering. This generation, known as the B4, was a major departure from its predecessor, with a larger, more spacious interior, a more refined exterior, and a significant improvement in overall quality. The B4 Passat offered a range of powertrain options, including 1.6L, 1.8L, 1.9L, and 2.0L gasoline engines, along with a 1.9L turbocharged diesel engine. These engines, paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission, offered a balance of performance and fuel efficiency, catering to a wide range of driver needs. The Passat also featured advanced safety features for its time, including crumple zones, airbags, and anti-lock brakes (ABS). Moving beyond the mechanical aspects, the 1995-1997 Passat provided a comfortable and well-equipped interior. Featuring a spacious cabin, generous cargo space, and a driver-focused cockpit layout, the B4 Passat appealed to families and commuters alike. The interior boasted quality materials and a comfortable ride, further enhancing the overall driving experience. This generation of Passat, with its combination of practicality, performance, and comfort, established itself as a strong contender in the mid-size sedan segment.
