As someone who frequently drives with family on trips, I must say the Passat 1.4T has a body length of approximately 4870 mm, which is about 4.87 meters. This size makes it very suitable for family use, with spacious and comfortable rear seating, ample legroom, and enough space to fit a child seat plus luggage without feeling cramped. The trunk capacity is also generous, easily accommodating two or three large suitcases. However, extra caution is needed when parking—standard city parking spaces are a tight fit, and narrow spots can be troublesome. While the longer body enhances stability on highways, it results in a slightly larger turning radius, often requiring an extra turn or two in parking lots. In summary, the length brings both convenience and minor challenges, but the choice ultimately comes down to prioritizing space and practicality for family use.
