Volkswagen Passat B7 Sedan (2010-2014)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Volkswagen Passat B7 is a large sedan in production from 2010 to 2014. It was available with a range of inline-4 and VR6 engines that displaced 1.4 to 3.6 liters.
The only interesting engine option that remained, regrettably, was the VR6. Even this unit received direct injection (FSI in VW-speak). These "upgrades" made the vehicle less reliable and durable.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the B7 Volkswagen Passat uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance. Cheaper models did not even have fully independent rear suspension.
