The Volkswagen Passat, produced from 1995 to 1997, marked a significant evolution for the popular mid-size sedan. This generation, known internally as the B4, built upon the success of its predecessor with a sharper, more aerodynamic design, a refined interior, and a range of powerful and efficient engines. The Passat B4 offered a choice between a 2.0-liter four-cylinder, a 2.8-liter VR6, and a 1.9-liter turbocharged diesel engine, all paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The B4 Passat also introduced safety features like dual airbags and anti-lock brakes as standard, further solidifying its reputation for reliability and safety. The Passat B4 continued the legacy of German engineering with its comfortable and spacious cabin, offering ample legroom and headroom for both front and rear passengers. The interior was also designed with practicality in mind, featuring a large trunk and a well-organized dashboard. While the B4 Passat embraced modern technology with features like power windows, power locks, and air conditioning, it retained a simple and user-friendly interface, appealing to drivers seeking a balance between comfort and functionality. The B4 Passat's combination of striking design, robust performance, and practical features made it a popular choice in the competitive mid-size sedan market, establishing it as a reliable and well-rounded vehicle for families and individuals alike.
