as a leading third-party automobile quality evaluation platform in china, chezhi.com has launched the "new car commodity evaluation" column based on a large number of automobile product test samples and scientific data models. every month, senior evaluators use professional equipment to conduct systematic testing and evaluation of several models that have been on the market in china for less than two years and have a mileage of no more than 5,000 kilometers, using objective data and subjective feelings to comprehensively display and analyze the overall commodity level of new cars in the domestic automobile market, and provide consumers with objective and true opinions when purchasing vehicles.

in the 24 years since its launch in 2000, passat has always maintained its dominance in the domestic b-class car market. the key reason is that the successive generations of passat have always been able to accurately grasp the pulse of market changes and meet the growing needs of consumers. the new passat pro, built on the passat b9, has once again subverted people's traditional perception of mid-to-high-end sedans. by reconstructing the exterior and interior design, it has improved its intelligent capabilities and brought a more convenient and safe driving experience. according to the data from the auto quality network, as of press time, there have been no complaints about the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro since its launch, and its reputation has performed well in the short term. so, can the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro continue its current reputation? will there be some new problems that are difficult for ordinary consumers to find? this issue of "new car commodity evaluation" will clear the fog for you and restore a real 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro through two dimensions: objective data and subjective feelings.

1. objective data

this project mainly conducts field tests on 12 items including body craftsmanship, paint film level, in-car air quality, vibration and noise, parking radar, lighting/vision, etc., to comprehensively and intuitively display the commercial performance of the new car in the form of objective data.

in the body craftsmanship test, 10 key parts of the vehicle were selected, and 3 key points were selected for each key part for measurement to evaluate the uniformity of the gaps in each key part. from the test results, the average gap of all parts of the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro is controlled within 4mm, and only the average gap at the connection between the rear fenders and the trunk on both sides is slightly higher, and the vehicle craftsmanship level is satisfactory.

in the paint film level test phase, the test results show that the average paint film thickness of the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro is about 126.1μm, which reaches the standard value of high-end vehicles (120μm-150μm). from the test data of key parts, the paint film thickness of the engine hood and rear fender is moderate, the paint film thickness of the roof is obviously higher, and the paint film thickness of other parts is relatively low. the paint film thickness of the whole vehicle is good, but there is still room for improvement in spraying uniformity.

during the in-car air quality test, the vehicle was placed in an internal ground parking lot with fewer vehicles. the actual formaldehyde content in the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro was measured to be 0.02 mg/m3, which is in line with the relevant standards in the "guidelines for passenger car indoor air quality evaluation" (national standard of the people's republic of china gb/t 27630-2011) jointly issued by the former ministry of environmental protection and the general administration of quality supervision, inspection and quarantine on march 1, 2012.

in the static noise test, the measured noise value of the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro in a stationary state is 37.5db. as the engine starts, the noise value entering the car shows a trend of gradually increasing. according to the test data, the noise values ​​entering the car at idle, 2000 rpm and 3000 rpm are 41.7db, 49.2db and 53.3db respectively. among them, the noise value entering the car at 3000 rpm is lower than the average level of the same level, which is satisfactory.

in the air conditioning noise test, the test instrument is first placed about 10cm away from the air outlet, and then the air volume is adjusted from small to large, and the noise value at the driver's position is measured at different gears. according to actual measurements, the air conditioning adjustment of the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro is divided into 7 gears. when the highest gear is turned on, the noise value is 70.6db, which is slightly higher than the same level models tested previously.

in the static in-car vibration test, at idle, the vibration values ​​of the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro steering wheel and driver's seat remain consistent and slightly higher than other parts. under load, the vibration values ​​of all parts increase slightly, with the rear seats seeing a larger increase, but the actual sensation is not very obvious.

in addition, we also tested the parking radar, lighting/vision, control system, tires, sunroof, seats, and trunk. after testing, the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro's steering wheel and driver's seat have a large adjustment range and can accommodate drivers of different heights. the rear seats support electric adjustment of the backrest angle to provide a comfortable ride. the evaluation car is equipped with hankook ventus prime 4 series tires, which focus on performance and control, and have excellent dry and wet braking performance. the tire specification is 245/40 r19. relatively speaking, the rear blind spot is large, and the length of the rear seat cushion is short, which needs to be optimized.

2. subjective feelings

this project is conducted by multiple judges to conduct subjective evaluations on the actual static and dynamic performance of the new car. the static aspects include the exterior, interior, space and human-machine interaction; the dynamic aspects include acceleration, braking, steering, driving experience and driving safety. finally, the total score is given by comprehensively referring to the subjective evaluation opinions of each judge, reflecting the actual performance of the new car in terms of commerciality from the perspective of subjective feelings.

in the external experience evaluation, the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro offers two exterior design styles. the evaluation car adopts the starry sky version of the front face shape, with a large-size grille and black-painted grid elements and air intake decorations, which caters to the aesthetics of young consumers. the addition of low-drag style wheels, through-type led taillights and luminous logo adds a bit of technological atmosphere to the whole vehicle. in terms of external configuration, the evaluation car provides a wealth of lighting functions, including adaptive high and low beams, steering assist lights, headlight rain and fog modes, etc., which greatly improves the safety of driving at night.

in the internal experience evaluation, the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro has been upgraded to meet the needs of domestic consumers. it uses a combination of 10.3-inch full lcd instrument + 15-inch central control screen + 11.6-inch co-pilot entertainment screen, which can realize multi-screen interaction and has stronger technological attributes. at the same time, the front central channel has also been replanned, the traditional shift lever has been cancelled, and more storage space has been added. in terms of materials, the central control panel and the front and rear door panels are covered with large areas of leather. although the texture is hard, the workmanship is rigorous.

compared with the old model, the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro has significantly reduced the bulge in the middle of the rear floor, and the middle passenger has better riding comfort. in order to further enhance the riding experience of rear passengers, the evaluation car is also equipped with exclusive rear seat headrest speakers, but the headrests on both sides are also fixed, and the flexibility is average. in terms of storage space, the front mobile phone wireless charging plate adopts an inclined design, which makes it easier to take the phone. in addition, the central armrest box, glove box, and front and rear door panel storage compartments are all equipped with flocking materials, which can play a role in anti-slip and silent. the only drawback is that the rear cup holder does not provide a limiter, and the stability is slightly poor after the water bottle or cup is placed in it.

the central control screen is slightly tilted toward the driver for easy operation. the screen resolution reaches 2k, and with the latest ui design of the volkswagen family, the display effect is very clear. the car is equipped with qualcomm snapdragon 8155 chip, supports 5g network, and is equipped with tencent software ecosystem, with quite complete functions. in terms of human-computer interaction, the intelligent voice system supports the current mainstream continuous voice recognition, see and speak, etc. on this basis, the evaluation car also adds gesture control to provide a more intelligent interactive experience.

the test car is equipped with volkswagen's classic third-generation ea888 2.0t engine, matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. the initial throttle response is relatively soft, the power output is also steady and orderly, and the gearbox does not feel jerky when switching between low and medium gears. the matching degree of the entire power system is quite excellent.

in the commonly used d gear + standard mode, the power output can be easily controlled by the depth of the accelerator. if you gently step on the accelerator, the gearbox will actively shift up to ensure driving stability and fuel economy. when switching to s gear + sports mode, the accelerator pedal becomes significantly more sensitive, and the engine speed will be appropriately increased, and the power output will be more rapid.

the brake pedal is designed for comfort, and there is a certain amount of clearance when you step on it lightly, which makes driving more comfortable in urban roads that require frequent starts and stops. the brake pedal is obviously more compact in the middle and rear sections, and the brake force release is linear enough to handle emergencies with ease.

the relatively light steering force and the moderately sized steering wheel create a relaxing and comfortable driving atmosphere. although the initial response with a large clearance and light steering damping cannot convey too much road feel to the driver, this setting also caters to the needs of family users.

the suspension adopts a combination of front mcpherson independent suspension and rear multi-link independent suspension. the chassis tuning adds some toughness while maintaining a tough style. this is reflected in the relatively smooth compression process in the middle and rear sections of the shock absorber, which is softer when filtering larger bumps, providing a calm and comfortable driving experience.

the test car is equipped with an l2-level assisted driving system, and the full-speed adaptive cruise control supports five-speed adjustment of the following distance. the closest gear has a moderate distance from the front car, making it less likely to be squeezed in by other vehicles. however, the timing of deceleration during the following process is not reasonable, and the deceleration force is not uniform. when braking, the vehicle will nod significantly, which will have a certain impact on the comfort of the passengers in the car.

summarize:

based on the above test results, it is concluded that the overall performance of the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro in terms of objective data and subjective feelings has met the expectations of the expert jury. in terms of objective data, the overall performance of the body craftsmanship and paint film thickness is satisfactory, but there is still room for improvement in the uniformity of the paint film spraying, and the length of the rear seat cushions needs to be optimized. in terms of subjective feelings, the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro performs well in terms of lighting configuration and driving comfort. relatively speaking, the lack of limiters in the rear cup holders slightly reduces practicality, and the comfort of the cruise system following the car also needs to be improved. overall, the commercial performance of the 2025 saic volkswagen passat pro is at the middle level among the tested models of the same level.
