The Passat is equipped with an inline 4-cylinder engine. The entire model lineup features three engine power combinations, detailed as follows: 1.4T engine: Delivers 110kW (150Ps) and 250N·m of torque, with a maximum power speed of 5000rpm and maximum torque speed ranging from 1750~3000rpm. 2.0T low power: Produces 137kW (186Ps) and 320N·m of torque, with a maximum power speed between 4100~6000rpm and maximum torque speed ranging from 1500~4000rpm. 2.0T high power: Generates 162kW (220Ps) and 350N·m of torque, with a maximum power speed between 4500~6200rpm and maximum torque speed ranging from 1500~4400rpm.
I've been driving a Passat for several years, and it usually comes with a 4-cylinder engine, a very common design that's both fuel-efficient and smooth, making it particularly suitable for daily city commuting. You might be wondering why 4 cylinders? Volkswagen uses this configuration to balance performance and fuel consumption, and it's also simpler to maintain, without the need for frequent repairs. Although older models or high-performance versions with V6 engines are more powerful, the base version is sufficient. I remember once driving long distances on the highway, the car's power output was even, without any shuddering when stepping on the gas. Overall, a 4-cylinder engine is a very cost-effective choice for average family users, saving a lot on fuel costs.
