Year to Year Changes
1991 Volkswagen Passat/ CC:
Power-window switches moved from their original vertical position on door panels, to an easier-to-reach spot on the horizontal surface of the door armrest. An automatic-transmission gear-indicator display was added to the instrument cluster.
1992 Volkswagen Passat/ CC:
Joining the original GL trim level was a new entry-grade CL sedan with the 4-cylinder engine.
1993 Volkswagen Passat/ CC:
A new 4-cylinder GLS Passat became the midlevel model, and the entry-level CL disappeared, making GL the base version. The new line-topping GLX came with Volkswagen's first V6. Called VR6 it displaced 2.8-liters and made 172 horsepower. Traction control also arrived for 1993, only in GLX V6 sedans and wagons. In addition to a slightly different front-end look with integrated fog lamps, the GLX got 215/50HR15 tires on new 6-spoke alloy wheels. All models gained a multifunction trip computer and CFC-free air conditioning.
1994 Volkswagen Passat/ CC:
Only V6 Passats went on sale in 1994, in top-line GLX trim.
