Volkswagen Passat
The Volkswagen Passat is a family car built by Volkswagen through six design generations since 1973. Falling between the Golf/Jetta and Phaeton in the current Volkswagen line-up, the Passat has been badged variously as Dasher, Santana, Quantum, Magotan, Corsar and Carat.
More recently, Volkswagen has extended its range with the launch of the Passat CC, a 4-door "coupé" version of the Passat.
The name Passat derives from the German word for trade wind.
