THE IVolkswagen Passat kwaphinda kwaba yiCar of the Year ePortugal ngo-1997 (i-B5, isizukulwana se-5, ekhutshwe kwi-1996) emva kokuphumelela eli bhaso kwi-1990 (i-B3, isizukulwana se-3) - i-spoiler alert: iya kuphinda ibe yi-2006 kunye ne-2015 - ixesha lokuqala ukuphumelela okunjalo kwimbali yomcimbi wesizwe.
Esi sizukulwana sePassat mhlawumbi sesona sibalulekileyo - iya kuba sisahluko sokuqala sexesha elitsha hayi nje imodeli kodwa uphawu. Kwiminyaka embalwa ngaphambi kokuqaliswa kwe-Passat B5 ngo-1993, uFerdinand Piëch uthatha iintambo ze-brand kunye neqela, kunye nomsebenzi kungekhona nje ukubuyela kwinzuzo, kodwa nokubeka iinjongo zamabhongo ngokubhekiselele kwimveliso kunye nokubeka indawo yeVolkswagen kunye Audi.
Nangona kucacile ukuba i-Audi iya kuba lolona phawu luza kukhuphisana kakhulu noMercedes-Benz kunye ne-BMW, umnqweno wayo weVolkswagen awukhange ubonakale wahlukile kuleyo ibicwangciselwe i-Audi. UPiëch uqalise isicwangciso sokunyusa indawo yophawu lweVolkswagen ukuya kwinqanaba apho nabani na okwishishini anokuthi alithathe njengelingekho ngqiqweni. Kodwa hayi uPiëch, owayenamabhongo kunye nokuzimisela okungagungqiyo.
I-Passat, isenzo sokuqala
Kukule meko apho kwazalwa isizukulwana sesihlanu seVolkswagen Passat, inyathelo lokuqala elibambekayo kweli bhongo, libeka iziseko zayo yonke into eza kulandela-ukusuka kwiGolf IV ukuya kuthi ga kwimodeli efana neTouareg kwaye, ngaphezulu. zonke, i Phaeton.
Yaye okunjani ukutsiba oku kuPasa kwesihlanu! I-Rigor ibonakala iyona kuphela i-watchword ekhokelayo ekuphuhlisweni kwayo, umgangatho ophuma kuzo zonke iipores zayo. Ngaphandle kobuhle be-rigorous, ijometri eyomeleleyo kunye nokubulawa okugqwesileyo - emehlweni anamhlanje i-conservative, kodwa yayinempembelelo enamandla ngelo xesha kwaye yayiyi-aesthetic efanelekileyo ye-Volkswagen's positioning ambitions -; ukuya kwingaphakathi (eliphangaleleyo) elithe, ukongeza ekuboniseni i-aesthetics yangaphandle engqongqo, ibe neendawo zayo ezicwangciswe ngengqiqo ezikhokelela kwi-ergonomics ephezulu, egqunywe ngezinto ezisikwe kakhulu kwaye zadityaniswa ngamandla, zishiya ukhuphiswano ngasemva.
Bhalisa kwincwadana yethu
"Itsheri ephezu kwekhekhe" yayiyindlela yokufikelela kwiziseko "zomzala" wayo i-Audi A4 - eyayiphumelele indebe yemoto yonyaka ePortugal kunyaka odlulileyo - ngaphandle kokuza okuthozama kweGalufa, njengangaphambili. . Iziseko ezibe negalelo eliqinisekileyo ekucokiseni nasekuphucukeni okugqwesileyo okwaphawula esi sizukulwana. Ngaphezulu kwenyathelo elingaphezu kweentshaba zayo, ngokokuqala ngqa iPassat inokuthelekiswa, ngaphandle koloyiko olukhulu, kunye nezinto ezibizwa ngokuba yi-premium proposals.
Akumangalisi ukuba iPassat B5 itshintshe indlela yokujonga imodeli ebesiyazi ngaphambili. Utshintsho kwimbono ebonakaliswe kwiitheyibhile zokuthengisa kunye nokuqhubela phambili iPassat kubunkokeli kwicandelo, ubunkokeli obuhlala kude kube namhlanje.
Icetywa kwimizimba emibini, i-sedan kunye neveni (i-Variant), ii-injini zibonakala ngathi zenziwe imodeli kwi-"cousin" A4. Ukusuka kweyona injini yepetroli ikwi-1.6 litre enkulu ukuya kwi-valve emihlanu eyi-1.8 litre kwisilinda, ene-turbo nengenayo, ukuya kwi-2.8 litre V6. Kuya kuba kwi-Diesels ukuba ibone impumelelo enkulu, injini ekunyukeni eYurophu, ngakumbi nge-1.9 TDI engunaphakade, kwiinguqulelo ezingenakubalwa (90, 100, 110, 115 hp), enye yeebhloko ezihlonishwa kakhulu. phuma eWolfsburg. Kwakhona bekuya kuba 2.5 V6 TDI, 150 hp, ukusuka Audi.
Ukusondela kobugcisa kwi-Audi kuqinisekise iVolkswagen Passat umsebenzi womzimba owenziwe ngesinyithi kunye nenkqubo ephucukileyo ye-multi-arm front suspension (iingalo ezine) kwi-aluminiyam, njenge-A4. Imigca engqongqo yePassat iphinde yabonakala ngathi iyabhabha, ine-Cx ye-0.27, ixabiso, nanamhlanje, lisakhuphisana.
Isimbo esingakumbi kunye nokukhethekileyo
Ngokulungiswa ngokutsha, ngo-2000, bekukho idosi eyongeziweyo yesitayile (ebonakala kuyilo olucwangcisiweyo ngakumbi lwegrille, i-optics kunye nokuzaliswa ngokulandelelana) kunye "nokukhanya" okuncinci, isiphumo sentloko entsha yoyilo, kunye nepragmatism yokuqala. Ukwenziwa mandundu ukuthotywa kancinci zizihombiso zechrome zokuhombisa.
Kodwa umnqweno kaPiëch wokunyusa umgangatho wemodeli yakhe kunye negama lakhe lahlala lingashukumi. Indlela yokulungelelanisa ukubonakala kwi-2001 yePassat ene-injini ye-cylinder esibhozo kwi-W - kwi-V iya kuba "ixhaphake" kakhulu - ngaphandle kwaloo mabhongo acocekileyo, ukuzimisela, ukulibala ngokufanelekileyo yonke ingqiqo?
Ngaba iPiëch ihambe kakhulu ngokukhawuleza? Iintengiso ezincinci zePassat W8 zibonakala ziqinisekisa oku - malunga neeyunithi ze-11,000 ezithengisiweyo - nangona le njini ye-monster, ene-4.0 l yomthamo, kunye nexabiso lexabiso elihambelanayo, inokuba yoyike kakhulu abathengi abanomdla.
Isizukulwana sesihlanu iVolkswagen Passat isaqwalaselwa ngabaninzi namhlanje njenge "ncopho" yePassat - akumangalisi ukuba iphumelele iimbasa ezininzi kwaye ibe yimpumelelo yorhwebo eyayiyiyo. Zonke izizukulwana ezalandelayo azizange zikwazi ukuphindaphinda ngokwenene impembelelo yePassat B5, nangona bazuze kwiziseko ezibekweyo.
IVolkswagen Passat B5 iya kuhlala ikwimveliso iminyaka elithoba, ngoku iza kuphela ngo-2005, ibe sesona sizukulwana siphumeleleyo segama esele liqokelele ngaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-30 zeeyunithi eziveliswayo.
