Is the Passat 1.4T Powerful Enough?

[Adrian]

The 2017 Passat 1.4T is sufficient but not abundant. Here are some details about the Passat's engine displacement: 1. There isn't a significant difference in driving experience among Passat models with different displacements. Its greatest feature is its ease of operation, making it manageable even for petite and less physically strong female drivers. The main difference is that the 1.4T engine doesn't deliver as strong a power output on highways as the 1.8T and 2.0T models. Additionally, the inability to opt for the DCC Dynamic Chassis Control System means it can't lean more towards either comfort or sportiness. 2. The introduction of the Passat 1.4T model signifies its alignment with mainstream societal values—energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, practicality, and affordability. Not only does it lower the Passat's starting price, but more enticingly, the 1.4T model benefits from China's current displacement tax policy. Vehicles with an engine displacement below 1.6L enjoy a halved purchase tax, further expanding its appeal to a broader audience.
