VOLKSWAGEN Passat Variant
Years: 2023, 2024

Introduction: Volkswagen introduced the ninth generation of the Passat in station wagon shape in 2023, continuing the legacy of one of this automaker's best-selling nameplates. In half-of-century, the mid-size contender of the German automaker from Wolfsburg sold more than 34 million units, and it was available over time in several shapes, including a fastback coupe. The station wagon, also known as Variant in Volkswagen's terminology, was deemed one of the most effective vehicles in its class thanks to its fuel efficiency, interior volume, and wide range of options.
