Chronology
PredecessorVolkswagen Passat (B8)

The Passat B9 was unveiled on 31 August 2023 and made its official debut at the 2023 Munich Motor Show, it is based on the revised version of the MQB Evo platform and is assembled in Slovakia instead of Germany alongside the Škoda Superb that it is based on.[1] It shares the same body panels and greenhouse with the Superb.[2][3]

Compared to its predecessor, the exterior design is made streamlined with a drag coefficient of Cd=0.25 becoming the most aerodynamic station wagon by Volkswagen has ever produced. The front has LED headlights available with the option of IQ.Matrix LED lighting system, a horizontal LED light strip in the grille merged with the LED daytime running lights inside the headlights, and the bonnet is made lower in the centre. Similar to the front, the rear has a "clean and powerful design" with a full-width light bar and Passat is spelled in letters across the tailgate.[4][5]

The interior of the Passat is quite similar to Volkswagen ID. series models. It features a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a standard 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system using the MIB4 system (it can also be upgraded to a larger 15-inch screen), backlit sliders below touchscreen are used to control the volume and temperature, the steering wheel uses physical buttons, and the gear lever is relocated on the steering wheel column for additional storage space in the centre console. Other available features includes a 30-colour ambient lighting, a 700W Harman Kardon sound system, Area View camera system, heads-up display, Park Assist Plus, and Park Assist Pro.[4][6]

The Passat has a boot space of 620 L (22 cu ft), which can expand to 1,920 L (68 cu ft) when the rear seats are folded. The boot space in the eHybrid model decreases to 530 L (19 cu ft) because of the batteries for the hybrid system placed under the boot floor.[7]

Being based on the updated MQB Evo platform, it retains the MacPherson-struts front and multi-link rear suspension setups from its predecessor. It has been reworked with new two-valve dampers, new Vehicle Dynamics Manager (VDM) system and available with the optional Dynamic Chassis Control Pro adaptive suspension dampers.[4][8]
