The Volkswagen Passat is a family car built by Volkswagen through six design generations since 1973. Falling between the Golf/Jetta and Phaeton in the current Volkswagen line-up, the Passat has been badged variously as Dasher, Santana, Quantum, Magotan, Corsar and Carat. More recently, Volkswagen has extended its range with the launch of the Passat CC, a 4-door "coupé" version of the Passat.
The nameplate Passat derives from the German word for tradewind — and the period in its history when VW named vehicles after prominent winds, including also Golf (after Gulf stream, Jetta (after Jet stream), Bora (after Bora and Scirocco (after Sirocco).

The Passat falls in the middle of the sedan/saloon market segment and was critical to Volkswagen on its introduction in 1973, as the sales of the aging Beetle were declining, and larger air-cooled rear-engined models like the Volkswagen Type 3 and 411 and 412 based on older technology were also failing to take hold in the market.[citation needed]
Following the Volkswagen Group's acquisition of Audi in 1964, Volkswagen used new engineering expertise to develop a modern front-wheel drive car with a water-cooled engine, and thus the Passat and Golf (the latter being introduced in 1974) were the first of a new generation of Volkswagens. The first Passat was developed partly from the Audi 80/Fox and until 2005 the two shared a history.
During its development phase, the Passat was designated internally as Entwicklungs-Auftrag 400 (EA400 / Project 400), and well before its launch, production of the Volkswagen Type 3 at the Wolfsburg plant had been stopped in order to free up capacity for the new car.[1] Wolfsburg was able to ramp up production carefully: directly before Passat production started the lines were used to assemble small volumes of the car's Audi 80 sibling which had been launched a year earlier.[1]

The Second Generation Passat had its production started in Brazil in June, 1984 and was called Santana.
The Santana was sold as a 4-door sedan and 2-door sedan, later as a station wagon, named Santana Quantum (or just Quantum) which was launched in July, 1985.
The engine range consisted in two version of 1.8L VW EA-827 engines, both in Ethanol or Petrol. In late 1987, to the 1988 model run, it gained the option of a 2.0L engine (Petrol or Ethanol). They were so called Santana 2000 and Quantum 2000. Transmissions included a 4-speed manual (for the first 2 years), 5-speed manual (first as an option, then turned standart in 1987), and to the top line CD (later called GLS) a 3-speed automatic.
In 1991, Volkswagen do Brasil by the time it had a joint-venture with Ford, called Autolatina, they've decided instead of building the newer third generation Passat (B3), to retain the Passat (B2) shaped sedan and wagon and made structural changes to the entire body. By changing the bodyshell, boot line, front and rear guards, it looked like the modern German designed Passat (B3) of the time. Under terms with Autolatina, this "new" Santana was also marketed as the Ford Versailles in Brazil and as the Ford Galaxy in Argentina. It received a small face-lift for 1994, and another one, more extensive, in 1998. In 2002, the Quantum was out, and then, in June, 2006, after more than two decades, the Santana was retired from the range, after years of dropping sales. An not so glamourous end to the car which have inaugurated the use of Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) in Brazil, and sold 548.494 units in all those time.
