How many kilometers can a Passat travel on a full tank of gas?

In reality, due to various factors such as road conditions, fuel quality, driving style, and vehicle maintenance, the actual driving range of this car on a full tank is approximately 800-900 kilometers. Below is relevant information: Introduction: The Passat (PASSAT) is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG in Germany. It is classified as a B-segment car in Volkswagen's lineup. Since its debut in 1973, the Volkswagen Passat has swept the global automotive market with its high safety standards, classic design, and top-tier manufacturing quality, selling over 30 million units in more than 40 years. Exterior: In terms of appearance, the new generation Passat adopts Volkswagen's latest design philosophy—"Fluid Rhythm." The light-inspired front face design, combined with the flowing chrome trim, further evolves Volkswagen's signature grille. The dot-matrix horizontal grille, dual-L rotary full-LED lens headlights, and a more robust engine hood together create the new front face.
I've been driving a Passat for several years, mainly commuting in the city, with a full tank of about 70 liters. Based on my experience, in urban areas with frequent traffic lights and congestion, fuel consumption can reach 9-10L per 100 kilometers, and the low fuel light usually comes on after about 550-600 kilometers. On highways with good conditions, fuel consumption drops to 6-7L, easily achieving a range of 700 kilometers, sometimes even 800 kilometers. Driving habits have a huge impact. I usually avoid sudden acceleration and braking, and use the air conditioning moderately, which can extend the range by several dozen kilometers. As the car ages, fuel consumption tends to increase, so regular maintenance, oil and filter changes, and maintaining proper tire pressure are recommended. Additionally, using the heater in winter and the air conditioning in summer also consumes more fuel, so it's good to plan trips accordingly.
As a travel-loving driver, I've taken my Passat on many long-distance trips. With a full tank of 70 liters, maintaining a steady speed of 110 km/h on the highway is most fuel-efficient, allowing me to cover 750 kilometers without issues. Last year, driving through the mountainous terrain of Tibet with its ups and downs, the fuel consumption increased to over 8L, and I was prompted to refuel after only 650 kilometers. In city traffic with frequent stops, the range is much shorter, typically just over 600 kilometers. I always keep a fuel gauge app on my phone to track driving patterns; gentle starts and avoiding frequent overtaking lead to better fuel efficiency. Closing windows on the highway reduces wind resistance, and setting the air conditioning to eco mode can extend the range further. Before long trips, I plan refueling stops at intervals of around 500 kilometers to ensure I don't run low.
