i believe everyone is familiar with the saic volkswagen passat. since it officially entered the chinese market in 2000, it has achieved sales of more than 3.5 million units with its excellent product performance, and has long been at the top of the mid-size car sales list. as the car-buying population is getting younger and younger, saic volkswagen has also adapted to the changes in demand and brought out the passat pro, which not only has a revolutionary change in appearance, but also has made great progress in intelligent performance.

appearance: provides dual front face design to meet the needs of different consumers

passat pro offers two front face designs: "starry sky edition" and "pioneer edition". the evaluation car uses the "starry sky edition" front face. the large black front surround and sharp headlights look very visually impactful. coupled with the beautiful body color, it is very in line with the tastes of today's young consumers. if you focus on business travel, you can choose the "pioneer edition" front face, which uses the original german design style and is more stable and majestic overall.

the side adopts a double waistline design, in which the waistline connecting the front and rear above the door handle creates a visual effect of diving forward, and the 19-inch wheels add a lot of power to the side. the taillights are a highlight of the rear of the car, using a dot matrix design language, and the interior also adds orderly geometric elements, supporting 6 kinds of welcome animation lighting effects, full of ritual sense.

in terms of details, the front face of the evaluation car uses strip-shaped led daytime running lights, combined with the luminous "vw" brand logo, highlighting the excellent sense of refinement. in addition, the evaluation car is also equipped with iq.light matrix led headlights, with a total of 144 high-brightness led lamp beads inside, providing multiple lighting functions such as adaptive high and low beams, afs intelligent follow-up steering function, etc., which can effectively increase safety when driving at night.

in terms of rims, the evaluation car uses five-spoke blackened rims, which have a very dynamic visual effect. the matching tires are from the hankook multistrada series, which focuses on sports and handling, and the tire specification is 245/40 r19.

interior: the technological atmosphere is not inferior to the new forces in car manufacturing

not only the appearance, but also the interior of passat pro has undergone earth-shaking changes, adopting a new digital cockpit, including the combination of 10.3-inch full lcd instrument panel + 15-inch floating central control screen + 11.6-inch co-pilot entertainment screen, creating a technological atmosphere that is definitely not inferior to the new forces in car manufacturing. the workmanship and materials also maintain the level of joint venture cars, and the evaluation car also adds a lot of suede materials, which has greatly improved the sense of grade compared to the old model.

in terms of multimedia configuration, the central control screen of the evaluation car has a resolution of 2k, which not only has a delicate display effect, but also a very smooth operation experience. in addition, the car machine also has built-in 5g network, in-car wechat and iflytek voice assistant and other functions, which are more in line with the usage habits of current consumers. the co-pilot entertainment screen has built-in rich entertainment functions such as iqiyi, and also supports video projection and bluetooth headset connection. it also has a side anti-peep function. the overall performance has a greater advantage among joint venture brands of the same level. it is worth mentioning that the evaluation car is also equipped with harman/kardon harman kardon audio, which has 16 speakers, and the overall sound quality is excellent, suitable for playing pop music.

in terms of comfort configuration, the evaluation car is equipped with an openable panoramic sunroof with an opening size of 870mm*1000mm, which has excellent light transmittance. the seats of the evaluation car are equipped with a mix of leather/suede materials, with relatively soft fillings, plus the seat heating, ventilation and massage functions, the riding comfort is very good.

power: meet daily travel needs

in terms of power system, the evaluation car uses a power system consisting of the third-generation ea888 2.0t engine and a 7-speed dsg dual-clutch transmission. the engine has a maximum power of 162kw and a peak torque of 350n·m. the official 0-100km/h acceleration time is 7.6s.

the actual driving experience is still volkswagen's usual style. the starting stage is steady and comfortable, which is much more conservative than electric cars. the power in the middle and later stages is very sufficient, and you can get sufficient power output without stepping on the accelerator deeply. if you want to be more aggressive, just switch to sports mode. at this time, the engine speed will be maintained at around 3000rpm, and the power will be available as you step on the accelerator, which is enough to meet the needs of most people.

the steering feel is much lighter than the old model, and even at a speed of 80km/h, the steering feel is not too heavy, making driving very easy. the same is true for the brake feel, which is no longer as heavy as the old model, and you can get a good braking effect without too much force.

in terms of nvh, the overall performance of the evaluation car is satisfactory, and the engine noise and wind noise are suppressed very well. however, the tires are more picky about asphalt roads. when driving on old roads, the tire noise is more obvious, but it will not affect the driving comfort of the occupants.

the review car uses a combination of front mcpherson + rear multi-link independent suspension. the suspension still maintains the advantages of german cars. the overall tuning tends to be tough, which can bring excellent lateral support capabilities, and the small bumps on the road can also be filtered out thoroughly. it finds a perfect balance between comfort and sportiness, which is worthy of praise.

space: ample seating space

in terms of riding space, thanks to the 2871mm wheelbase, a tester with a height of 1.85m has ample riding space in both the front and rear rows. especially in the back row, the leg space is more than two fists, and the head space is nearly one fist. in addition, the rear seats of the evaluation car can be electrically adjusted, and with heating, ventilation and massage functions, it can definitely bring you a leapfrog enjoyment.

in terms of storage space, the number of storage compartments is quite satisfactory, but the internal space is large and can hold a lot of items. there are also two cup holders in the front and rear rows to meet the daily needs of all passengers. it is worth mentioning that the passat pro has re-arranged the traditional shift mechanism position and changed it to two hidden storage compartments with sliding covers. it is also equipped with a mobile phone wireless charging plate and heat dissipation holes, which is very practical.

the trunk is very neat and tidy, with a volume of 506l. the rear seats can be folded down in proportion to further expand the usable space. the test car is also equipped with an electric trunk that supports induction opening, which can effectively increase the convenience of daily use.

safety: provides a wide range of active and passive safety configurations

in terms of safety configuration, the evaluation car is equipped with a variety of active/passive safety configurations. for example, 360-degree panoramic images, front/rear head airbags (air curtains), front center airbags, lane departure warning system, forward collision warning and other active/passive safety configurations are all equipped on the evaluation car. however, the resolution of the 360-degree panoramic image is low and there is obvious distortion. i hope it can be improved in the future.

summarize:

through this review, we can feel that as the most important sedan product launched by saic volkswagen this year, passat pro has not only changed its previous moderate and stable appearance, but also made substantial upgrades in terms of intelligence and comfort, making up for its shortcomings and giving it a leading advantage among fuel vehicles of the same level. coupled with the german chassis tuning, it can be said that passat pro has once again pushed the technical and product strength benchmark of the mid-size car market to a new height.
