How Heavy is the Passat?
1 Answers
The weight of the Passat ranges from 1455KG to 1595KG, making it a popular model under the Volkswagen brand. The exact weight varies depending on the vehicle configuration. Below is some relevant information about the Passat: 1. Excessive body weight can lead to higher fuel consumption, poorer handling, slower acceleration, and increased braking distance. To achieve the same speed with different weights, more force is required, naturally resulting in higher fuel consumption. The greater the weight, the larger the inertia, leading to longer braking distances and reduced safety. 2. If the vehicle body is too heavy, the car may experience understeer (pushing forward) when taking corners at high speeds, while a body that is too light may lead to oversteer.
