Year to Year Changes
1996 Volkswagen Passat/ CC:
A new high-mileage Turbo Direct Injection (TDI) diesel engine emerged during 1996. TDI Passats came only with 5-speed manual shift. New daytime running lights caused headlamps to illuminate automatically, at reduced intensity, whenever the ignition was switched on.
1997 Volkswagen Passat/ CC:
After barely more than a year's run, the 4-cylinder gasoline GLS Passat dropped out, due to lack of buyer interest. Otherwise, Passats changed little. Passats were fully redesigned for 1998, related to the Audi A4.
