At the end of 2010, as part of the Paris Auto Show, the German concern Volkswagen presented to the public a new version of the well-known Passat station wagon model B7. During its 37-year history of existence, this car has been successfully sold in many countries of the world in a total of 15 million units. Such popularity was due to a well-planned marketing policy, as well as high build quality. In this article, we will find out if the new Volkswagen station wagon has changed a lot, and how much it now costs.

Design

Looking at the appearance of the station wagon, we can say that the designers this time also did not experiment with appearance, giving only cosmetic changes to the exterior. So, the novelty has found LED headlights and taillights, as well as a slightly redesigned bumper shape. In general, thanks to such small changes, the designers managed to make the appearance of the car even morepresentable and expensive, although the car had not been classified as a “state employee” before.

Salon

The interior of the station wagon has become better and more thoughtful. But it can hardly be classified as revolutionary. Interior updates include a new instrument panel, driver and passenger seats, which, at the request of the client, can be equipped with a ventilation system and even a massager. Changes are also visible in the door panels, interior lighting and a new analog clock.

Specifications

Here, the Volkswagen station wagon model B7 has undergone much more changes than its exterior and interior. In total, buyers are able to choose one of the nine engines offered by the manufacturer. It can be four gasoline units, the same number of diesel units and one engine running on natural gas. So let's take a quick look at all the settings. Gasoline units have capacities of 122, 160, 201 and 300 horsepower, and their working volume is 1.4, 1.8, 2.0 and 3.6 liters, respectively. Among diesel units, it is worth noting a 1.6-liter engine with a capacity of 105 horsepower and two two-liter engines with a capacity of 140 and 170 “horses”, respectively. Moreover, the 170-horsepower "Volkswagen Passat"-station wagon-diesel can gain a "hundred" in just 8.6 seconds. The bioethanol motor, with its working volume of 1.4 liters, is capable of developing a power of 160 “horses”. All engines are equipped with automatic and mechanical transmissions for six speeds. With indicatorsThe fuel consumption of the novelty is also good - for 100 kilometers, the Volkswagen station wagon consumes from 5.3 to 7.7 liters of fuel (depending on the selected engine). Moreover, the most powerful motor is able to accelerate the car to 223 kilometers per hour. This is a decent figure for a new station wagon.

Price

The minimum cost for a new German Volkswagen station wagon model B7 is about 1 million rubles. The most expensive equipment will cost customers 1 million 580 thousand rubles. By the way, the Volkswagen B3 station wagon has about the same cost, the technical characteristics of which have also recently been changed.
