Volkswagen Passat Vehicle Information
The B3 Passat was heavily facelifted in 1993 and although it was designated B4, it was not an all-new model. The facelift revised external body panels except for the roof and glasshouse, with most obvious exterior change seeing the re-introduction of a grille to match the style of the other same-generation Volkswagen models of the era, such as the Mk3 Golf and Jetta.
The interior was mildly updated and included safety equipment such as dual front airbags and seat belt pre-tensioners, although the basic dashboard design remained unchanged.
The car was available with a Turbocharged Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine - an inline four-cylinder 1.9 litre turbodiesel, generating 210 newton metres (155 foot pounds) of torque at 1,900 rpm, 66 kilowatts (90 PS / 89 bhp) at 3,750 rpm.
It carried a U.S. EPA fuel efficiency rating for the sedan of 45 miles per US gallon (5.2L per 100 km / 54 MPG) highway. Combined with a 98 litres (21.6 imp gal / 25.9 US gal) 28 litres (6.2 imp gal / 7.4 US gal) reserve option fuel tank, the B4 TDI wagon had a 1800+ km (1200+ mi) range on a single tank of fuel.
The B4 TDI wagon saw less than 1,000 sales in the U.S. during its 1996 to 1997 lifespan.
