A – No. Unlike the B5 Passat which shared most of its mechanicals with the Audi A4 and A6, the new B6 Passat shares most of its components with the new Golf V/Jetta V. The chassis itself is unique to the Passat, however its major components like suspension, engines, transmissions, HVAC system, etc., etc. are shared with the new Golf V and Jetta V.
