How many engine displacements does the Passat have?
2 Answers
The Passat comes with three engine displacements: 1.4T, 1.8T, and 2.0T. All models are equipped with turbocharged engines and dual-clutch transmissions. Below is relevant information about the Passat: Powertrain: It offers four powertrain options: 1.4T, 1.8T, 2.0T, and 3.0L. The newly added 1.4TSI engine delivers a maximum power of 96kW (131 horsepower) at 5000 rpm and a peak torque of 220N·m between 1750-3500 rpm. Transmission: Available with a manual transmission or DSG dual-clutch transmission. The 3.0L V6 engine produces a maximum power of 184 kW (250 horsepower) at 6400 rpm and a peak torque of 310 N·m at 3500 rpm, paired with a 6-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission.
My friend did thorough research when helping someone choose a Passat last time. This car has quite detailed engine displacement options. Earlier models had naturally aspirated 1.8L and 2.0L versions, but now we mainly look at turbocharged ones. The most common currently available is the 1.4T 280TSI, which is fuel-efficient and sufficient for city driving. The 2.0T comes in two variants: the lower-powered 330TSI and the higher-powered 380TSI, with noticeably stronger acceleration. Note that since the 2023 model year, the 1.4T has been replaced with a plug-in hybrid called 430PHEV, which can run over 60km on pure electric power. If you come across used older models, you might still find the discontinued 1.8T version. Choosing the displacement mainly depends on whether you prioritize fuel efficiency or powerful performance - if you frequently drive on highways, I'd recommend going straight for the 380TSI.
