最近谍照记者拍到了大众帕萨特GTE插电混动版照片。这辆车采用合金轮圈，在前格栅大众车标旁边“隐藏”这一个充电接口。相比现款车型充电口位置没有发生变化。前脸全新的进气格栅和C形LED大灯组采用了贯穿式的设计，下方的前保险杠也进行了重新调整。车尾部分，LED尾灯进行了简单的升级调整，看起来极具运动感。此外，新车采用了隐藏式的排气布局。帕萨特GTE搭载一台1.4升涡轮增压引擎和一台电机，综合功率215马力，扭矩400牛米。在纯电动模式下续航里程50公里，不过这是在老的NEDC工况下获得的数据。预计新车不仅是内外装升级，硬件也将获得升级，燃油经济性和输出功率将进一步提升。由于大众不参加巴黎车展，因此该车不会在近期发布。欧规车型将单独在线发布，而美规车型将于明年上市。

 

2019 VW Passat GTE Spied With Reworked Front Fascia

It was mid-March when Volkswagen disclosed plans to give the Passat a refresh by announcing plans to unveil the facelifted midsize sedan later in 2018. Since VW’s announcement, we’ve seen a fair share of spy shots with camouflaged prototypes, and today we get the chance to have a look at the plug-in hybrid version. The design of the alloy wheels and the “hidden” charger port next to the VW badge on the front grille disclose the test vehicle’s true identity, the Passat GTE.

 

As it’ll be the case with the conventionally powered version, the electrified sedan will adopt a reworked front fascia derived from the stylish Arteon with a reworked grille that gives the illusion it’s extending into the headlights. With this being a GTE model, we’re expecting to see C-shaped LED daytime running lights mounted in the front bumper, but either VW has decided to ditch them, or we simply can’t seem them because of the camo.

 

There’s more disguise at the back where the prototype has a slightly modified bumper without cutouts for the exhaust finishers like on the outgoing model. Also noticeable are the updated LED taillights, which will soldier on with the same shape, but are going to receive swanky new graphics.

 

As you may recall, the Passat GTE utilizes a turbocharged 1.4-liter engine and an electric motor with a combined output of 215 horsepower and 295 pound-feet (400 Newton-meters) of torque. It has enough electric juice for 31 miles (50 kilometers), but bare in mind that number is based on the outgoing NEDC. We gander the facelift will be more than just a mild styling update as VW could also work on the Passat GTE’s hardware to boost efficiency and maybe bump output in the process.

 

We will know what’s what in the months to come as the Passat facelift reveal is likely inching closer. With VW skipping the Paris Motor Show, it means we won’t be seeing the car in October in the City of Light. The European-spec model could debut at a standalone event or the automaker might simply show the car online. As far as the next-gen U.S.-spec Passat is concerned, it will go on sale in 2019.
