What are the differences between Passat B5 and B6?
1 Answers
Passat B5 and B6 have the following differences: Different manufacturers: The first-generation Passat model produced by Shanghai Volkswagen is the Passat B5, which is the fifth generation Passat. The first-generation Magotan produced by FAW-Volkswagen is the Passat B6, which is the sixth generation. Different engine models: The 1.8T engine in B6 is a 120 kW German original imported engine with a more durable turbo and better overall engine quality. The 1.8T engines in Passat B5, Audi C6, and Bora are domestically produced with 110 kW power. At that time, due to immature technology and materials for domestic turbochargers, especially poor turbo durability, turbo burning issues were common after over 100,000 kilometers. However, such issues were relatively rare with the 120 kW B6 engine.
