Currently, the car is produced at Volkswagen plants in Emden, Zwickau (Germany) and other plants. The name Trade wind came from the wind of the same name. Passat B1 The first generation of the Volkswagen Passat was launched in 1973.
Initially, they offered two- and four-door sedans and similar three- and five-door versions. The model shared a modern fastback style, designed by Italian designer Giorgetto Giugiaro. In fact, the first Passat was the Fastback version of the sedan Audi 80, introduced a year earlier. The five-door wagon was introduced in 1974, which was sold to Audi Fox in the markets of North America. In Europe, the Passat was equipped with two rectangular, two round 7-inch or four round 5.5-inch headlights, depending on the configuration.

In August 1975, the 1.5-liter engine was increased to 1.6 liters without changing the power but with a slightly higher torque. In July 1978, Passat Diesel appeared equipped with a 1.5-liter Volkswagen Golf diesel (50 hp (37 kW, 49 hp)), and in February 1979 – Passat GLI with an injector version of the 1.6- liter engine. All models were restyled in 1977 (in 1978 outside Europe), with interior upgrading and redesigned design, depending on the model: four round headlights, or two rectangular. The goal, according to the manufacturer, was to more clearly differentiate the car from a mechanically similar Audi 80.
A restyling dashboard in the Golf style was used, the radio and heating control systems were installed centrally in one unit. Engine rims, gearbox and exhaust system have been modified to reduce internal noise; Comfort was also improved by changing springs and shock absorbers. The car’s wheels were enlarged in size, and an improved stabilizing bar was installed behind it. In North America, the car came out under the name Volkswagen Dasher. The three- and five-door hatchback and station wagon were manufactured in North America for and during the 1974 model year. The only available engine was a carburetor 1.5-liter 75-hp (56 kW) (or 70 hp (52 kW) in 1975), replaced since 1976 by an injector engine in volume of 1.6 liters 84 hp.
Bosch (58 kW). Passat B2 The second generation of the Volkswagen Passat was launched in 1981. Platform B2 is again based on the corresponding platform, launched in 1978. Passat B2 became a bit longer, the design of the car was updated, which was now immediately determined by Passat: the most obvious difference is the rectangular headlights.
By this time, the front-wheel drive and the hatchback-type body have become commonplace on this car. Volkswagen Passat B2 (Type 32B) In addition to the hatchbacks and Variant, there was a classic sedan, which until 1985 was sold as Volkswagen Santana in Europe. In the US, the Passat / Santana was named Volkswagen Quantum, available as a three-door hatchback, a four-door sedan and a station wagon. The all-wheel drive version of Syncro was introduced in October 1984, initially only with a powerful five-cylinder engine. Passat / Santana was also manufactured and sold in China, Mexico, South America and South Africa.

The sedan and the Passat B2 wagon were produced in South Africa for the local market until 1987. Like the previous generation, the Passat B2 was mainly sold with four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. However, unlike its predecessor, the top versions received five-cylinder Audi or VW engines with a volume of 1.9-2.2 liters.
In addition to the four- and five-speed manual and three-speed automatic transmissions, the Passat / Santana was also available with the 4 + E transmission of the VW concern. Also called “Formel E”, it provided the best fuel consumption. The all-wheel drive system used in the Passat Syncro has a mechanical identical to the Audi 80 quattro, and not the Volkswagen Golf Syncro. The lower part of the body of the Syncro version was completely different: a central tunnel for the transmission was introduced, the fuel tank was changed, there was no spare wheel (to make room for a complicated rear axle). Only the most popular version of Variant has been redesigned. The Syncro version was also available in the North American market, with only a five-cylinder engine.
In 1985, all versions received facelifting, consisting of new, larger bumpers, a change in the interior, a new front grille and new rear lights on -version. The three-door hatchback was canceled, and VW Santana Europe was renamed VW Passat. On March 31, 1988, the production of Passat B2 was over (although the Syncro models were produced until June).

The transition to the Haldex system also led to the fact that control and behavior became similar to a front-wheel-drive car. With the Haldex system, during normal driving, the car behaves as a front-wheel drive, until an axle slip is detected. At the time of slippage, up to 50% of the torque can be transmitted to the rear axle.
