The Volkswagen Passat B4, produced from 1994 to 1997, marked a significant step in the evolution of the popular mid-size sedan. This generation, known internally as the 3B, represented a major departure from its predecessor, the Passat B3, offering a more refined and modern design. Built upon a lengthened version of the Audi 80 B4 platform, the Passat B4 showcased a more spacious cabin and a sleeker exterior, characterized by its distinctive swept-back headlights and a larger grille. Under the hood, it offered a range of gasoline and diesel engines, including the popular 1.8L 20-valve engine, known for its spirited performance. The Passat B4 also introduced a wider range of trims and optional features, such as ABS, power steering, and air conditioning, catering to a broader customer base.
Despite being a relatively short-lived generation, the Passat B4 garnered praise for its quality, reliability, and comfortable ride. It also demonstrated Volkswagen's commitment to technological advancements, featuring innovative features like the optional Tiptronic transmission, which offered both automatic and manual shifting capabilities. Although the Passat B4 was ultimately replaced by the B5 generation in 1997, it continued to be a popular choice for those seeking a well-rounded and dependable sedan. Its reputation for solid engineering and enduring performance ensured its place in the history of Volkswagen's flagship model, paving the way for future generations of the Passat that would continue to raise the bar in the mid-size sedan segment.
