Major changes included: The sixth generation Passat, otherwise known as the Mk6, features a dramatically redesigned body. It is available in sedan and wagon form, offering Turbo, Komfort, Lux and VR6 trim levels.

Major changes included: The Passat is built on the Audi A4 platform and shares its good looks. The '98 Passat sedan was available in comfortably equipped GLS and loaded GLX trims, with either a turbocharged 4-cylinder or gutsy V6 engine. For 2000, all-wheel drive was offered and the wagon - previously only available in base configuration - could be had with a full array of trim and engine choices. Styling was updated slightly in mid-year 2001, and the virile W8 engine became available for 2002.

Major changes included: This generation Passat was available as a sedan only and had VW's signature boxy styling of the era. Roomy, well equipped and fun to drive, the Passat began to catch on with buyers in the mid 90s.
