Passat models with a clock were produced from 2011 to 2015. Here is some information about the Passat: 1. Introduction: The Passat (PASSAT) is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG in Germany. 2. History: It is classified as a B-segment car in Volkswagen's lineup and was first introduced in 1973. 3. Positioning: The Passat has always been one of Volkswagen's most important models, primarily targeting the mid-size sedan market. Its name originates from the German word 'Passat' (or Passatwinde), referring to the trade winds that blow from the subtropics towards the equator.
I love talking about the classic design of the Passat! I remember the Passat models with clocks were mainly produced between 2000 and 2015. The B5.5 generation from 2000-2005 was the most common, featuring a small round clock on the dashboard, which looked very classic. The subsequent B6 generation (2005-2010) also retained this feature—I personally drove a 2008 model, and the clock was quite practical. By the B7 generation (2010-2015), some high-end versions like the R-Line series still had analog clocks. However, after 2015, the B8 generation mostly replaced it with digital screens, and I really miss that retro vibe. The old Audi A4 also used a similar design—the clock added a touch of luxury to the interior, something rarely seen in new cars nowadays.
