Volkswagen B8 typically refers to the eighth-generation Volkswagen Magotan B8, which was launched in 2016 and continues to the present. Below is detailed information about the Magotan: Overview: The Volkswagen Magotan originates from the Future B6, closely related to the Passat B6, and it is the first B-class sedan produced and sold by FAW-Volkswagen since its establishment. "Mai" symbolizes confidence, decisiveness, and dynamism; "Teng" represents soaring, surpassing, and passion. Other specifications: Wheelbase is 2812mm. Vehicle dimensions are 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1464mm in height. Trunk capacity is 565 liters. Fuel consumption ranges from 5.5 to 6.7L/100KM (MIIT data). Fuel tank capacity is 70 liters. Engine options include 1.4TSI, 2.0TSI (low-power version), and 2.0TSI (high-power version). Standard seating capacity is 5. Top speed is 230km/h. Drive type is front-wheel drive.
I remember seeing the Volkswagen B8 in person for the first time at the 2014 Frankfurt Motor Show, and I immediately noticed how drastically different this generation of Passat looked. Mass production officially began in 2015, replacing the previous B7 in the European market. The domestically produced Magotan B8 was launched in China in 2016, with an 80mm longer wheelbase. It remained in production until the overseas release of the B9 in 2023, though after the 2020 facelift, the infotainment system was upgraded to MIB3 and the rear badge design changed to centered lettering—some people refer to this as the B8.5. My neighbor is still driving his 2017 B8 Variant to this day.
