2 Answers
The Volkswagen Passat is equipped with two engines: a 1.4T turbocharged engine and a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with maximum power outputs of 110kW and 137kW, and maximum torque of 250Nm and 320Nm, respectively. The Volkswagen Passat is a mid-size sedan launched by SAIC Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4933mm in length, 1836mm in width, and 1469mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. The exterior of the Volkswagen Passat adopts Volkswagen's new design concept of flowing rhythm, featuring a light-rhyme front face design paired with flowing-light surround chrome trim. The iconic Volkswagen grille has been further evolved, with a dot-matrix horizontal integrated grille, dual-L rotary full LED lens headlights, and a more robust engine hood, all coming together to form the new front face.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Passat for almost three years now, and it's equipped with Volkswagen's in-house developed engine series. In the Asian market, the common one is the 1.5TSI turbocharged gasoline engine, delivering around 150 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. The driving experience is quite smooth, with quick acceleration and responsive performance, especially when overtaking. For city commuting, the fuel consumption is about 7-8L/100km, and it can drop to 6L on highways, which is even more fuel-efficient than some Japanese cars. I often use it for daily commutes and weekend trips, and it's comfortable even for long-distance drives. The engine noise is well-controlled, and the cabin remains quiet with the windows closed, making it ideal for daily commuting. Maintenance-wise, a minor service is required every 10,000 kilometers, costing around 300-500 RMB, which isn't expensive, but it's recommended to use the suggested engine oil to avoid issues. Overall, this engine is highly reliable, not picky about fuel quality, and very practical.
