Why does Passat's original attitude always adhere to the road of commercialization?

It has been five years since the six generations of Passat came out in 2005. With the change of Volkswagen's car system, the original factory of Paris Auto Show in September this year officially unveiled the brand-new seventh-generation Passat. /kloc-At the end of 0/0, at the invitation of Taikoobida, the original factory and general agent of Volkswagen, UCAR went to Barcelona, the second largest city in Spain, to experience the new generation Passat at close range. In the next test drive report, the author will lead readers to explore the quasi-flagship positioning of the new generation Passat.

The new generation Passat is regarded as the quasi-flagship of Volkswagen. Since the sixth generation of golf, Volkswagen has opened a new generation of family characteristics, with the banner water tank shield as the visual center of gravity. But in fact, Volkswagen's new generation design language can be subdivided into two contexts: Polo and golf, two entry-level cars, the design of water tank shield is relatively slender, and the headlight lines also emphasize the turning point of angle. In the lower part of the air dam, Polo and golf show a slightly rising smile curve, conveying the appearance of a young front. In front of the brand-new Passat, it can be clearly seen that it has a high degree of correlation with Phaeton. Passat and Phaeton both adopt the wide version of the four-ribbed water tank shield style, and the headlight design is mainly square design. The lower air dam of the two models focuses on the extension of horizontal vision, so that others can feel the stable atmosphere of the two models at the first time when they are in visual contact with Passat and Phaeton.

In addition to the mature and steady design lines, the new Passat also uses chrome-plated elements common in high-end cars, which deepens the luxury image of the car. Four thin chrome-plated decorative strips are embedded in the wide version of the water tank guard. The design of the intake dam is not excessive. In addition to the overall chrome-plated material on the lower edge, the fog lamp group is also emphasized by the curved chrome trim.

Through the complex and delicate application of chrome-plated elements, the new generation Passat exudes a more luxurious car temperament. There is also a mystery inside the headlights of the new Passat. In addition to the traditional halogen headlights, the new Passat also has the option of bi-xenon headlights. Bi-xenon headlights not only provide a wide and clear lighting effect at night, but also a daytime running light group composed of 15 LEDs outlines J-shaped lines around the headlights, which makes Passat have dazzling visual recognition even in the daytime.
