Product Overview

Volkswagen Passat B7 Variant (Typ 3C) is a mid-size station wagon in production from 2010 to 2014. It was available with a range of VR6 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.4 to 3.6 liters.

The last of the VWs to feature the VR6 engine, the B7 Passat Variant is just a facelift of the B6 Passat Variant with extensively revised body panels. From many angles, this has been a successful update, with the Variant becoming more physically appealing.

Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the B7 Passat Variant still uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
