The Volkswagen Passat, a mid-size sedan, was introduced in 1973 and has since become one of Volkswagen's most successful and popular models. The 1995-1997 models were part of the fourth generation (B4), which featured a more refined design, improved interior, and a wider range of engine options compared to its predecessor. These Passats were known for their robust build quality, spacious cabin, and comfortable ride. The B4 shared its platform with the Audi A4, which translated into good handling and driving dynamics. Under the hood, the Passats offered a variety of gasoline and diesel engines, ranging from the economical 1.6-liter to the powerful 2.8-liter VR6. The VR6 engine was a unique design with a narrow angle V6 configuration, offering smooth power delivery and a sporty character. The 1995-1997 Passat came with a range of features, including power windows, locks, and mirrors, air conditioning, and a cassette player. Higher trim levels offered features such as leather upholstery, sunroof, and an optional automatic transmission. Safety was also a priority, with standard features including anti-lock brakes (ABS), driver and passenger airbags, and seatbelts. The Passat B4 was a popular choice for families and commuters due to its practicality, reliability, and spacious interior. It also held its value well, making it a desirable used car option. However, like any older vehicle, regular maintenance is crucial to ensure its continued reliability. With proper care and maintenance, the Volkswagen Passat B4 could provide many years of trouble-free service.
