THE I-Volkswagen Passat kwaphinde kwaba yiCar of the Year ePortugal ngo-1997 (i-B5, isizukulwane sesi-5, eyakhululwa ngo-1996) ngemva kokuwina lo mklomelo ngo-1990 (B3, isizukulwane sesithathu) - i-spoiler alert: izophinde ibe ngo-2006 no-2015 - ngokokuqala ngqá ukuba kufezwe isenzo esinjalo emlandweni womcimbi kazwelonke.
Lesi sizukulwane sePassat mhlawumbe besibaluleke kakhulu - bekuzoba yisahluko sokuqala senkathi entsha hhayi kumodeli kuphela kodwa nomkhiqizo. Eminyakeni embalwa ngaphambi kokwethulwa kwePassat B5 ngo-1993, uFerdinand Piëch uthatha izintambo zomkhiqizo neqembu, enomgomo ongagcini nje ngokubuyela enzuzweni, kodwa futhi nokubeka izinhloso zokuvelela mayelana nomkhiqizo nokubeka isikhundla kwaVolkswagen kanye I-Audi.
Yize kucaca ukuthi i-Audi izoba yinkampani engase izimbangi kahle iMercedes-Benz neBMW, isifiso sabo seVolkswagen asizange sibonakale sihlukile kulokho okuhlelwe kwa-Audi. UPiëch useqale uhlelo lokukhuphula ukuma kwenkampani yakwaVolkswagen ifinyelele emazingeni wonke umuntu embonini azowathatha njengembudane. Kodwa hhayi uPiëch, owayenesifiso esingapheli nokuzimisela.
Passat, isenzo sokuqala
Kungalesi simo lapho kwazalwa khona isizukulwane sesihlanu seVolkswagen Passat, okuyisinyathelo sokuqala esibambekayo kulesi sifiso, sabeka izisekelo zakho konke okuzolandela - kusukela ku-seminal Golf IV kuye kwafinyelela umvuthwandaba ngamamodeli afana neTouareg futhi, ngaphezulu. konke, iPhaeton.
Futhi yeka ukuthi leli Phasi lesihlanu kwaba ukugxuma okungakanani! I-Rigor ibonakala sengathi yiyona kuphela i-watchword eyaqondisa ukukhula kwayo, ikhwalithi ephuma kuzo zonke izimbotshana zayo. Ngaphandle kobuhle bejiyomethri eqinile, eqinile kanye nokubulawa okuhle kakhulu - emehlweni anamuhla iyalandela, kodwa yaba nomthelela onamandla ngaleso sikhathi futhi yayiwubuhle obufanele bezifiso zokubeka iVolkswagen -; ngaphakathi (okubanzi) okuthe, ngaphezu kokubonisa ubuhle obuqinile bangaphandle, kwakunezingxenye zayo ezihlelwe ngokunengqondo eziholela ku-ergonomics ephezulu, eboshwe ngezinto ezisikwe kakhulu futhi zahlanganiswa ngokuqinile, okushiya umncintiswano ngemuva.
Bhalisela iphephandaba lethu
“I-cherry ephezu kwekhekhe” yaba yisiphephelo sezisekelo ze-Audi A4 “umzala” wayo - eyayinqobe indebe yemoto yonyaka e-Portugal ngonyaka odlule - ngaphandle kokufika okunesizotha kweGolf, njengokwandulelayo. . Izisekelo ezibambe iqhaza elibalulekile ekuthuthukisweni okuphakeme nokuba yinkimbinkimbi okuphawule lesi sizukulwane. Ngaphezu kwesinyathelo ngaphezu kwezimbangi zayo, ngokokuqala ngqa iPassat ingaqhathaniswa, ngaphandle kokwesaba okukhulu, nalokho okubizwa ngokuthi iziphakamiso ze-premium.
Akumangazi ukuthi iPassat B5 iguqule umbono wemodeli ebesiyazi. Ushintsho lombono olubonakale ematafuleni okuthengisa futhi lwaqhubezela uPassat ebuholini esigabeni, ubuholi obukhona kuze kube namuhla.
Ihlongozwe kuma-bodyworks amabili, i-sedan kanye neveni (i-Variant), izinjini kubukeka sengathi zimodelwe kwi-“cousin” A4. Kusukela kwejwayelekile kakhulu injini engu-1.6 litre kaphethroli kuya kweyi-five valve ingu-1.8 litre cylinder, ene-turbo nangenayo, kuya ku-2.8 litre V6. Kungaba kuma-Diesel lapho bezobona khona impumelelo enkulu, injini ekhuphukayo eYurophu, ikakhulukazi nge-1.9 TDI yaphakade, ezinguqulweni ezingenakubalwa (90, 100, 110, 115 hp), enye yamabhulokhi ahlonishwa kakhulu phuma eWolfsburg. Izoba ne-2.5 V6 TDI, 150 hp, evela kwa-Audi.
Ukusondela kwezobuchwepheshe ku-Audi kuqinisekise iVolkswagen Passat umsebenzi womzimba owenziwe uthayela kanye nokulengiswa okuphambili kwezingalo eziningi (izingalo ezine) nge-aluminium, njenge-A4. Imigqa eqinile ye-Passat iphinde yabonakala iyi-aerodynamic impela, ene-Cx engu-0.27, inani, nanamuhla, elisaqhudelana nalo.
Isitayela esiningi nokukhethekile
Ngokwenza kabusha isitayela, ngo-2000, kwaba nomthamo owengeziwe wesitayela (obonakala ekwakhiweni kwesitayela se-grille, optics nokugcwalisa ngokulandelana) ngisho "nokukhanya" okuncane, umphumela wekhanda elisha lokuklama, nge-pragmatism yasekuqaleni. kubhebhethekiswe kancane ukuncishiswa kwamagama okuhlobisa e-chrome.
Kodwa isifiso sikaPiëch sokukhuphula izinga lemodeli nomkhiqizo wakhe asizange sinyakaze. Ungakuthethelela kanjani ukubukeka kwePassat ngo-2001 enenjini enamasilinda ayisishiyagalombili ku-W - ku-V kuzoba "okujwayelekile" kakhulu - ngaphandle kwalokho kwesifiso esimsulwa, ukuzimisela, ukukhohlwa konke ukucabanga okujwayelekile?
Ingabe i-Piëch yayihambe ngokushesha kakhulu? Ukuthengiswa okuncane kwePassat W8 kubonakala kuqinisekisa lokhu - cishe amayunithi ayi-11,000 athengisiwe - nakuba le njini enkulukazi, enamandla angu-4.0 l, kanye nenani lentengo elizohambisana nayo, kungenzeka ukuthi yethuse ngendlela efanayo namakhasimende angase athatheke.
Isizukulwane sesihlanu iVolkswagen Passat isabhekwa abaningi namuhla “njengesiqongo” sePassat - akumangalisi ukuthi isiwine imiklomelo eminingi futhi ibe yimpumelelo yezentengiselwano eyayiyikho. Zonke izizukulwane ezalandela azikwazanga ukuphindaphinda ngokweqiniso umthelela wePassat B5, nakuba zazuza ezisekelweni eyazibeka.
IVolkswagen Passat B5 izohlala ikhiqizwa iminyaka eyisishiyagalolunye, kanti lokhu kuzophela ngo-2005, kube isizukulwane esiphumelele kakhulu segama esivele siqongelela amayunithi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-30 akhiqizwa.
