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.
