What are the exterior dimensions of the Passat?
2 Answers
Passat exterior dimensions: length, width, and height are 4933*1836*1469mm, with a wheelbase of 2871mm. Both the length and wheelbase have significantly increased compared to the previous generation Passat, making its passenger space one of the best in its class. Below is more related information: 1. Exterior Design: The Passat adopts Volkswagen's latest family design, featuring a grille connected to the headlights with horizontal dotted chrome trim. The upper and lower chrome outline trim on the grille is particularly bold, further stretching its horizontal visual width. The Passat also lowers the body height, achieving a more excellent body stance while reducing wind resistance and fuel consumption. 2. Features and Configurations: The Passat comes standard with auto start-stop, keyless entry, keyless start, PM2.5 air purifier, and an electric sunroof. Some higher-end models are equipped with power-folding side mirrors, while the Premium and flagship models also include auto-dimming and auto-tilt functions when reversing. Except for the base model, which has manually adjustable seats, all other models feature power-adjustable seats with front seat heating and a boss key function. 3. Safety Features: The Passat is equipped with standard ESP, electronic parking brake, and Auto Hold automatic parking system. Starting from the second-lowest trim, all models come with front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera. The Premium and flagship models also feature a 360-degree surround-view camera and PLA intelligent parking assist. 4. Powertrain: The Passat is powered by a 1.4T and 2.0T high/low-power engine. The 1.4T engine delivers a maximum power of 110kW (150PS) and a peak torque of 250N·m. The 2.0T low-power variant offers a maximum power of 137kW (186PS) and a peak torque of 320N·m, while the 2.0T high-power version produces a maximum power of 162kW (220PS) and a peak torque of 350N·m. All models are paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The exterior dimensions of the Passat typically include a length of around 4870mm, width of 1834mm, height of 1484mm, and a wheelbase of 2841mm. As someone who frequently drives long distances, I find these dimensions quite practical for daily use: the slightly longer body means you need to find a wider parking spot, especially when circling in underground mall parking lots—it really requires patience to locate a suitable space. However, the advantage is that it feels very stable on highways, reducing the sensation of bumps, and the long wheelbase enhances the suspension system's buffering effect, allowing passengers in the back to stretch their legs without feeling cramped like in smaller cars. The trunk space is also generous, easily accommodating family luggage or business trip document boxes without stress. The only downside is needing extra caution when passing other vehicles on narrow roads. Overall, these dimensions strike a good balance between comfort and functionality. After driving it for so many years, I've never had any complaints about the space.
