What is the braking distance of the Passat in meters?
2 Answers
Passat braking distance is 42 meters. Braking distance: The braking of a car mainly depends on the friction between the tires and the ground, and the magnitude of the friction depends on the friction coefficient. When the friction coefficient is constant, the braking distance depends on the speed. If the speed doubles, the braking distance will increase by 4 times. Passat braking system: The brakes commonly used on Passat cars generate braking torque through friction between the fixed components and the rotating components' working surfaces, known as friction brakes. Passat braking performance: The Passat's brake pedal has moderate damping with good pedal feel. The initial stage of braking is relatively weak, but the latter half shows significantly stronger braking force. The vehicle speed decreases rapidly during braking, allowing the car to stop within a short distance.
The braking distance of the Passat is approximately 36 to 40 meters, which mainly depends on the speed at which you brake. Typically, the braking distance is measured on dry roads at a speed of 100 km/h. From my own experience driving the Passat for a long time, I feel the brakes are quite stable, especially in emergency situations on highways where it can stop quickly. However, in actual driving, there are many factors that affect braking distance. For example, on wet roads, the distance can increase by more than 10 meters, and worn tires or thin brake pads can also extend the braking distance. It is recommended to regularly check the braking system, replace worn parts, and maintain proper tire pressure to ensure higher safety. In case of driving in rainy weather, I would slow down in advance and maintain a longer following distance to avoid accidents.
