I've driven the Passat 1.4T and 1.8T for several years, and the most noticeable difference is in the power. The 1.4T turbo engine is quite smooth for city commuting, with acceleration that isn't too aggressive, but it feels a bit underpowered when overtaking on highways. The 1.8T has more responsive throttle input, delivering strong acceleration and a more exciting driving experience. In terms of fuel consumption, the 1.4T is more economical, saving over half a liter per 100 kilometers on average, making it cost-effective for daily commuting. The 1.8T, while thirstier, doesn't struggle on long trips. Both models offer the same level of space and comfort, with nearly identical interior features. It really comes down to your budget and how aggressively you drive. Personally, I lean toward practicality, so I chose the 1.4T.

When was China III released?

China III was released on July 1, 2007. The China III standard is China's third-stage vehicle emission standard. The national third-stage emission standard is equivalent to the European III emission standard, meaning the content of tailpipe pollutants is equivalent to Euro III levels. The difference is that new vehicles must be equipped with an onboard diagnostic (OBD) system. The characteristic of the OBD system lies in the increase of detection points and detection systems, with oxygen sensors installed at both the inlet and outlet of the three-way catalytic converter. By fully monitoring vehicle emissions in real-time to ensure compliance, it can better guarantee the implementation of the Euro III emission standard.
