Imodeli entsha yecandelo le-D ye "brand yabantu" iqala ukumila.
Isizukulwana sangoku iVolkswagen Passat (esemfanekisweni) ayizange ihlaziywe kwakudala - singalibali ukuba isiseko semodeli sele sisebenza iminyaka esi-7 - kunye neVolkswagen, engazange ivumele ukhuphiswano ukuba lube namandla. sele iqalile ukulungiselela oko kuya kuba sisizukulwana sesi-8 se-brand's flagship kwicandelo le-D.
Ngokweendaba eziphuma kupapasho lwaseJamani i-Auto Motor und Sport, iPassat yexesha elizayo izakwabelana ngeGolf elandelayo kunye ne-Audi A3 entsha – eza kuphuma kwiinyanga nje ezimbalwa – iqonga elibizwa ngokuba yi-MQB (esele sithetha ngayo apha) . Iqonga eliza kuvumela imodeli entsha ukunciphisa ubunzima xa kuthelekiswa nesizukulwana sangoku. Ushicilelo lwaseJamani luthetha malunga ne-1400kg yobunzima kwindlela yokuqhuba. Ixabiso eliya kuba negalelo elikhulu ekusetyenzisweni kakubi kwamafutha.
Ngokumalunga neenjini, akukho nto isemthethweni okwangoku, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo siya kuba, njenganamhlanje, ukhetho olubanzi lweenjini. Ukusuka kwiinguqulelo zedizili ezithandwa kakhulu ngamaPhuthukezi, ukuya kwiinguqulelo zepetroli efikelelekayo kodwa esulungekisiweyo, edlula okokuqala kuguqulelo oluxutyiweyo aluzange lubekho kuluhlu.
Kwakhona ngokutsho kwempapasho yesiJamani, zonke iinguqulelo zedizili ziya kuhambelana nemigaqo ye-Euro6 yokuchasana nokungcoliseka, ngelixa iinguqulelo zepetroli zonke ziya kuxhotyiswa ngenkqubo yokuyeka ukuqalisa njengesiqhelo. Masilinde sibone.
