The Volkswagen Passat, produced from 1994 to 2005, represents a significant period in the model's history, spanning two distinct generations (B4 and B5). The B4, launched in 1993, was the final iteration of the first-generation Passat, building upon its predecessor with refinements to the engine and a more aerodynamic body. It was available in a variety of body styles, including sedan, wagon, and even a coupe variant known as the Passat Variant Syncro. This generation was known for its robust construction, reliability, and affordability, making it a popular choice among families and those seeking a practical yet dependable car. The B5 Passat, introduced in 1997, ushered in a new era for the model with a complete redesign. This generation featured a more modern and refined aesthetic, with a spacious and comfortable interior. It was praised for its improved handling and ride quality, thanks in part to the introduction of independent rear suspension. The B5 Passat also offered a wider range of engine options, including gasoline and diesel units, with varying power outputs. Despite its success, the B5 Passat faced criticism for its relatively expensive repair costs and some issues with electrical components. Nevertheless, it remained a popular choice for its overall quality, comfort, and versatility, solidifying its position as a strong contender in the mid-size sedan segment.
