Volkswagen Passat - online puzzles

The Volkswagen Passat ( listen ) is a large family car manufactured and marketed by Volkswagen since 1973, and now in its eighth generation. It is positioned between the Volkswagen Golf (Jetta) and the Volkswagen Arteon in the current Volkswagen line-up and has been marketed variously as the Dasher, Santana, Quantum, Magotan, Corsar and Carat. The successive generations of the Passat carry the Volkswagen internal designations B1, B2, etc.. Originally (but no longer) these designations paralleled those of the Audi 80 and A4 with which the Passat shared platforms.

In 2008, Volkswagen launched Passat CC, a " four - door coupé " variant of the Passat.

Volkswagen currently markets two variants of the Passat globally. In January 2011, Volkswagen announced that the new mid-size sedan (NMS) being built at the Volkswagen Chattanooga Assembly Plant for the North American market would be named the Passat. Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive also manufactures the Passat NMS in its Nanjing factory. The NMS is sold in the North American, South Korean, Chinese, and Middle Eastern markets. The Volkswagen Passat NMS won the 2012 Motor Trend Car of the Year.
