2002 Volkswagen Passat FWD 4dr Sport

2002 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT GLS WVWPD63BX2E413200 SEDAN 4 DR 1.8L L4 PFI DOHC FRONT WHEEL DRIVE Vehicle Overview Redesigned during the 2001 model year, the latest version of Volkswagens midsize sedan and wagon went on sale in February 2001 as a 2001.5 model. To clarify its marketing position, VW refers to the restyled 2001.5 model as the New Passat. Except for the addition of a premium CD/cassette stereo and an escape handle in the trunk, changes are few for the 2002 model year. At a glance, the Passat doesnt look dramatically different than the old one. Nevertheless, a Volkswagen engineer touted some 2,300 changes to the new model, compared with its 1997 2000 predecessor, though most of the modifications are subtle. The Passat is the car that has paved the way for our re-emergence in North America, says Frank Maguire, Volkswagens vice president of sales and marketing. Its one of the companys family-size cars with attitude and flair. More than 80,000 Passats were sold in the United States during 2000. Built as a front-drive model, the Passat also comes with 4Motion all-wheel drive, which was introduced during the 2000 model year. Three Passat versions are available: the GLS 1.8T (turbo), GLS V6 and upscale GLX. Late in 2001, Volkswagen is expected to introduce a Passat W8, which debuted at the 2001 Geneva Motor Show with an eight-cylinder engine. Part of a developing modular W family, coupling two four-cylinder engines creates the W-8 power plant. Exterior Though it is similar in appearance to the previous model, Volkswagen asserts that nearly all of the Passats body is fresh. Only the roof and doors were unchanged. The grille is more sharply raked and integrated into the front bumper than the one in the prior Passat. Chrome accents were added to window surrounds and side strips. Body-colored bumpers have a black lower section, and the black grille contains a pronounced center logo. Halogen projector-lens fog lamps are integrated into the front bumper. , *******************************************************CALDERSALES.COM***************************************************************
