Here are the differences between the Passat B4 and B5: 1. Different time periods: The Passat B4 was launched in 1994. The fifth-generation Passat B5 was designed in 1996. 2. Appearance: The Passat B4 features a smoother exterior and a more robust body shape. Volkswagen introduced the high-tech Passat B4 in the early 1990s for the B-segment market. The front appearance seems similar to the third generation, but in reality, the internal structure of the new generation has been improved. Volkswagen finally put into production the multiple award-winning Passat B5. As the flagship model of Volkswagen, it is well-deserved. Driving the new generation Passat midsize sedan will elevate to an unprecedented new height. With its slender, elegant, and dynamic body curves, it boasts a drag coefficient of only 0.28, comparable to world-leading models. Then the styling segmentation began, no longer referred to as four-wheel cars, with special efforts to enhance the car's exterior design. Once again sharing the production unit with the Audi A4 and A6, it appears to have higher body rigidity than the A4, resembling the Audi A4 but lower.
