The Passat series includes the first-generation Passat Dasher, Passat B2 Quantum, Passat B3, Passat B4, Passat B5, Passat B6, and Passat B7 models. First-generation Passat Dasher: In 1973, the first-generation Passat: Dasher was born, replacing the original 1600 series in the North American market. The top model at that time was called the Passat TS, equipped with a 1.5-liter, 85-horsepower four-cylinder overhead camshaft engine and front-wheel drive. It could accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 12 seconds, reach a top speed of 169 km/h, and travel 38 kilometers on 4.55 liters of fuel. Passat B2: In 1980, the second-generation Passat B2 Quantum/Santana replaced the Dasher. It was longer, wider, and had more interior space than its predecessor. Four engine options were available, including a 1.6-liter diesel engine, 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter four-cylinder engines, and a top-tier 115-horsepower five-cylinder engine.
