Volkswagen Group B Platform - B6

B6

The designation "B6" is used to identify the "Typ 8E" Audi A4/S4 produced from late 2000 to 2005. The platform used by these models is formally known as the PL46 platform.

Confusingly, the current generations of Volkswagen's Passat are also colloquially referred to as "B6", given that they are Volkswagen's sixth generation mid-sized saloon. However this generation of the Passat uses the PQ46 platform for its sixth generation, a improved enlarged version of the Golf Mk5 and Jetta Mk5's PQ35 platform.
