Volkswagen Is Reviving One of Its Classic Models That Marked a Generation in Brazil: The Volkswagen Passat Returns With a Renewed Design and Innovative Hybrid Powertrain.
Volkswagen, a leader in the automotive market, is devising ambitious strategies to attract new customers and retain current ones in 2024. The multinational plans to revitalize its portfolio with the reintroduction of an iconic model, accompanied by market innovations. The 2024 Volkswagen Passat, known and admired worldwide, is expected to return with a completely redesigned appearance, promising a unique and modern look.
New Design of the VW Passat 2024 Surprises the Automotive Market
Volkswagen “killed” the Passat in most markets in recent years, but it remains alive in Europe for a few more years. The new generation of the model was officially presented with a major change: the sedan has been discontinued and will only be sold in the station wagon variant.
Using the same MQB Evo platform as the Golf, the new 2024 VW Passat is considerably larger than its predecessor. Now, the model measures 4,917 mm in length, which is 144 mm more. The width has increased by 20 mm to 1,852 mm, while its height remains the same at 1,506 mm. The wheelbase has been extended by 50 mm, now measuring 2,841 mm.

Three doors, concept look, and FIPE value of R$ 62,524: The 2013 Hyundai Veloster delivers a 1.6 engine with 140 hp, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a design that still seems too strange to go unnoticed.

A Land Rover that used to do 1.8 km per liter now does 8 km per liter after a 34-year-old Kenyan engineer installed an ECU he designed himself, which is already being ordered from Zambia, Canada, and Pakistan.

Cheaper than new HB20, Onix, and Argo, this German sedan offers a 510-liter trunk, a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine, a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, and well-known mechanics; the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Comfortline still attracts attention in the used market.

A mechanic opened the engine compartment of an 11-year-old Ford to replace a part and found a wallet with money, gift cards, and the badge of the worker who had assembled that car at the factory.
Although it’s not revolutionary, the style is also not evolutionary, as there are some changes making the new Volkswagen Passat more aligned with the design of the brand’s electric vehicles.
As usual, the external design will depend on the Passat version, Business, R-Line, and Elegance. Wheels of up to 19 inches will be offered, along with newly developed LED Matrix headlights and dynamic LEDs at the rear, where a light bar has been installed.
Interior of the New Volkswagen Passat Features Cutting-Edge Technology
The interior of the 2024 Volkswagen Passat represents a significant change compared to the previous version, as VW eliminated much of the physical controls. Access to almost all available functions will be done through a touchscreen measuring a generous 12.9 inches, even in the base model. For an additional cost, the multimedia screen can be expanded to 15 inches.
A fully digital instrument panel of 10.25 inches is standard, thus, the German brand is saying goodbye to the good old analog displays that were offered in the last generation.
By moving the gear selector to the steering column (where the wiper controls would normally be), engineers managed to create more space between the seats to increase cargo capacity, similar to what is done in the ID.7.
Another detail similar to the electric model is that there is a new switch on the left side to control the indicators and wipers. Front comfort can be enhanced by opting for the new heated, ventilated, and massaging seats with 14-way electric adjustment.
New VW Passat 2024 Can Deliver Up to 265 Horsepower
The engine lineup is extensive and includes a mild hybrid gasoline unit for the first time in the history of the 2024 Volkswagen Passat.
It consists of a 1.5 eTSI with cylinder deactivation technology and 150 horsepower. Next comes a 2.0 TSI with 204 horsepower in the front-wheel-drive version and a more powerful configuration with 265 horsepower and 4Motion all-wheel drive.
For those who still want a diesel engine in 2024, Volkswagen will offer the 2.0 TDI in three power levels: 122 horsepower and 149 horsepower in the front-wheel-drive models and 193 horsepower with all-wheel drive. All gasoline and diesel versions of the new Passat use a 7-speed dual-clutch automated transmission.
There are also plug-in hybrids marketed as eHybrid models. The base variant offers 204 horsepower, while the more powerful offers 272 horsepower, making the VW Passat more powerful than money can buy.
