How many kilometers can a Passat run on a full tank of fuel?
2 Answers
The Passat can run approximately 800-900 kilometers on a full tank of fuel. Below are the differences between the government-procurement version and the standard version of the Passat: Usage: The government-procurement version is primarily used as official vehicles by state agencies or public institutions, while the standard version is for personal transportation. Configuration: The government-procurement version of the Passat uses the highly reliable Aisin six-speed automatic transmission. The 1.4T government-procurement version lacks a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control, and features only a standard small sunroof. It also does not have front electric seat adjustment or a rearview camera, and its wheels are one inch smaller than those of the Elite version. In contrast, the standard 1.4T Passat uses a seven-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, which is known for its high transmission efficiency, fast gear shifts, and fuel economy.
To be honest, I've been driving a Passat for five years, and a full tank holds about 66 liters of fuel. In heavy city traffic, the fuel consumption jumps to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, and a full tank can only last about 700 kilometers. On the highway, driving steadily can reduce the consumption to 6 liters, easily reaching 1,000 kilometers. On average, daily driving usually covers around 850 kilometers. The biggest impact comes from driving habits: avoid frequent rapid acceleration or hard braking. Using air conditioning in summer increases fuel consumption by about 5%, while winter is less of an issue. I refuel twice a month, which is quite economical, but I recommend regularly checking tire pressure and air filters—these small details can add dozens of kilometers to your range. Overall, a full tank can last a week for commuting, and long trips don’t require frequent refueling.
