when it comes to mid-size sedans, passat is one of the models that cannot be ignored in this market. of course, it is not accidental that such a market position has been established, but it is jointly created by its market performance and consumer reputation over the years. since entering the chinese market, passat has released four generations of models in china. with its excellent performance and extensive market influence, it has become a leader in the mid-size sedan market, with a cumulative number of users exceeding 3.5 million in the past 24 years.

recently, this mid-size sedan has welcomed the latest generation of models in the domestic market. it is the new passat pro, which was officially launched on september 10. the new car is priced at 189,900-223,900 yuan for a limited time. like the tiguan l pro, the passat pro is sold on the same platform as the regular version. what is the difference between it and the regular passat? and which configuration of the new car is more worth choosing? let us tell you.

there are still two styles to choose from

as usual, let's first take a look at the changes in the appearance of the new car. as the latest generation model of the passat family, the new passat pro follows the original design of the european volkswagen passat b9, and also provides two styles of front face styling. they are the pioneer edition and the starry sky edition. the pioneer edition can be understood as the ordinary version, suitable for ordinary families, while the starry sky edition is suitable for young consumers who pursue individuality or sporty appearance. the headlights are iq. light matrix led headlights, which really make driving at night a lot brighter. against the backdrop of the iq. light matrix led headlights and the beauty eye daytime running light bar, combined with the luminous logo, the entire front face is full of a sense of technology.

from the side, the waistline of the new passat pro is relatively straight, and the front and rear of the car are obviously the classic short front overhang and long rear overhang design, which is simpler and more attractive than the old model. in addition, the length, width and height are 5006/1850/1489mm respectively, and the wheelbase is still 2871mm. the most direct change is that the length exceeds 5 meters, directly breaking the industry boundary of mid-size cars not exceeding 5 meters. from the side, it looks much longer than the ordinary version, and even feels a bit like audi a6l.

in terms of the rear design, the new passat pro also uses a through-type taillight design, but the light strip is narrowed in the middle and the english letters of passat are integrated. the luminous logo is arranged separately above the light strip, so the rear of the new passat pro is slightly different from the overseas version of the b9 passat. in order to distinguish the difference between the two styles, the rear surround of the pioneer edition is decorated with a horizontal chrome trim, while the rear surround of the starry sky edition is a honeycomb-shaped smoked black trim, which matches the style of the front face.

the interior is full of technology

entering the car, the new passat pro basically continues the style of the overseas version b9 passat. the traditional physical buttons on the central control panel are replaced by a large screen, and the overall layout of the interior is very simple. in order to meet the needs of domestic users, the new car not only increases the size of the central control screen to 15 inches, but also adds a co-pilot entertainment screen. compared with joint venture cars of the same level, this configuration is indeed relatively rare.

the 15-inch floating central control screen in the middle is designed to be slightly tilted towards the driver's side, which is convenient for the driver to view and operate. the car computer is equipped with qualcomm 8155 car computer chip, supporting xunfei voice, tencent navigation, in-car wechat, ai large model, and three mobile phone interconnections such as huawei hicar, apple carplay, and baidu carlife. in actual experience, the operating logic and fluency of this car computer system can meet daily use.

the 11.6-inch entertainment screen on the co-pilot seat not only supports gesture operation and mobile phone screen projection, but also the co-pilot can directly connect the entertainment screen to the bluetooth headset when listening to music or watching videos, so as not to interfere with the normal driving of the main driver.

in addition, the top-of-the-line models have heating, ventilation and massage functions for the rear seats, the backrest angle can be electrically adjusted, and they are also equipped with rear head speakers, which were completely unimaginable in previous mid-range cars.

in addition to additions, the new passat pro also made some subtractions. first, the traditional mechanical gear lever was removed and replaced with the same rotary hand gear lever as the id series electric vehicles. in addition, the central bulge of the rear floor is already a "tradition" of german cars. this time, the passat pro has been optimized. the bulge in the center of the floor is significantly reduced compared to the previous generation. this change also greatly improves the comfort of the middle seat in the rear row.

the power system has been adjusted

the adjustment of the power system is quite unexpected. this time, the new passat pro breaks volkswagen's usual strategy of selling 2.0t high- and low-power engine combinations, and only provides 380tsi high-power engines with higher power specifications. the parameters of this engine (220ps/350n·m) should be very familiar to everyone. after re-optimization, the comprehensive fuel consumption has also been further reduced.

intelligent driving has always been a weak point for most joint venture brands. this time, passat pro directly cooperated with dji in intelligent driving, that is, the iq.pilot intelligent assisted driving system developed based on chinese road conditions. this system has been installed and used on tiguan l pro before. it can realize automatic lane change with lights, curves with large curvature, and identification of pedestrians, bicycles, electric vehicles, roadblocks and other objects on the road through binocular cameras. looking at the joint venture mid-size car market, such intelligent driving performance has already occupied a lot of advantages.

in general, passat pro has been upgraded in terms of comfort and luxury configuration, technology configuration, assisted driving and riding space. compared with fuel vehicles of the same level and even domestic new energy vehicles, it has certain advantages. so the question is, among the several configurations on the market, which one is more worthy of choice?
