Volkswagen Passat 2020-2022

The eighth generation of the Volkswagen Passat was introduced in Egypt from 2017 until 2020. The facelifted version was introduced in 2020 and is still available today. It was offered at a starting price of EGP 485,000 to EGP 585,000. It was available in two trim levels: Trendline Plus and Comfortline. The former was introduced first in Egypt, while the latter was delayed a few months before being launched locally. The 2022 R-Line trim was then launched, priced at EGP 630,000 at the time of its launch. The car features a distinctive front design with sharp silver elements extending across the grille and connecting the LED headlights. The lower front half features large LED fog lights on both sides, with a thick black frame connecting them, extending across the width of the front, and featuring the distinctive lower grille. The car is known for its simple and elegant design in general, especially at the rear, with LED taillights and Passat lettering at the rear, along with two rectangular exhaust outlets, one on each side, and chrome accents.

The Volkswagen Passat comes with a more powerful 1.4-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine than the pre-facelift version, with the engine's output modified to match the Volkswagen Tiguan's engines. It produces 150 hp between 1,500 and 6,000 rpm and 250 Nm of torque between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm, mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds, with a top speed of 220 km/h. Fuel consumption is rated at 5.1 liters per 100 km, with a 60-liter fuel tank.

The new, improved engine delivers additional power, increasing its output by 25 hp over the pre-facelift version. This is reflected in the car's performance. The same applies to torque, which has also increased by 50 Nm.
