Production of the Passat, which first started in 1967, that is, 55 years ago, stopped in both the USA and Europe as of this year. In Turkey, it was announced that it will continue until 2023. But the new model will no longer come. Instead, Volkswagen is preparing to launch the ID.Aero model, which was born with an all-electric infrastructure.
Volkswagen is preparing to launch the ID.Aero model!
Volkswagen shared some pleasing developments about the new ID.Aero model, which it plans to produce and launch in China first. Initially, it was said that this car will not remain a concept vehicle and will go on sale in the Asian market in the second half of 2023.
It is expected to go on sale in Turkey in 2024. Because the production of the Passat will be completely stopped in the same year. When we look at the general lines and design of the car, we can say that the Passat feels like an electric one.
Volkswagen Passat bids farewell to another country
Volkswagen has announced that the Passat model, which has been on sale in the US market since 1974, will no longer be produced in its US facilities.
When we look at the exterior design of the 5-meter-long vehicle, we see that it has sporty lines with smooth transitions. The huge 22-inch wheels, on the other hand, ensure that the already large volume of the car is well molded.
From the hood to the fender, the front is almost reminiscent of a dolphin’s head. We can say that this also helps to have a friction coefficient of 0.23. On the technical side, uncertainties still remain. But it is known to have a range of up to 620 km.
Finally, let’s point out that although the concept version of the car is called ID.Aero, it may come to the market with a much different name. However, the expectation is that the company will keep the ID.5 – ID.6 naming and put it up for sale.
