General Motors is the first one to reduce the car prices after the rising inflation and high loan interest. Many car manufacturers are following the line. Volkswagen being one of them is planning to roll out cheaper variants of Passat and Passat CC.
Volkswagen is planning to come out with a cheap variant of Passat that would be powered by a common rail engine and a manual gearbox. Another reason of Volkswagen reducing the car price of Passat is willingness to compete the car sales of Honda Accord. New variant of Passat CC is inspired by the car model Mercedes CLS. The car is designed on the basis of standard sedan’s signs and is expected to be more upmarket.
Will Volkswagen be successful in fulfilling the desire behind producing cheaper variants of Passat and Passat CC?
I really doubt whether Passat will be able to compete with Honda Accord, a car that is a complete blend of performance, quality, reliability, environment friendliness, comfort and style. Even in case of Passat CC, the car can never load all the inspirations from Mercedes CLS.
