Volkswagen Passat Specs and Generations

The Volkswagen Passat has served as a practical family car for decades, moving from compact hatchback beginnings to the roomy sedans and estates that define its later years on European and international roads.

Volkswagen Passat Generations

Volkswagen Passat generations run from the First Generation through the Eighth Generation Restyling and the Ninth Generation, with body styles spanning Sedan, Estate 5-door, Hatchback 3-door and Hatchback 5-door. Earlier cars stay compact and simple; later ones grow in cabin space and technology, so pick the era matching your priorities.

Volkswagen Passat Specifications

Volkswagen Passat specifications vary widely, because the represented range covers Diesel, Gasoline, LPG and Plug-in powertrains. Engines, dimensions and equipment were redefined with each redesign and trim level, so read any spec as belonging to a particular generation and version rather than to the model overall.
