Shanghai, February 12 (Gasgoo.com) Shanghai VW, one of Volkswagen's Chinese ventures, will give a facelift to its middle-sized car Passat to improve the interior space and comfort in the second quarter of this year, Beijing Times reported, citing sources.

The revamped Passat model, code-named B6.5 inside, will share the PQ46 platform with FAW-VW's Magoton. By lengthening the wheelbase and bodywork, the revamped Passat will be longer than Magoton.
