Currently, the new Passat offers three different power output models with two displacement options: 1.4T high-power version and 2.0T high/low power versions. 1.4T High Power: The 1.4T high-power model has a maximum horsepower of 110kW and a peak torque of 250N.m. 2.0T Low Power: For the low-power tuned version of the 2.0T, its maximum power is 137kW at 4100-6000rpm, and the peak torque reaches 320N.m at 1500-4000rpm. 2.0T High Power: The high-power version of the 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 162kW and a peak torque of 350N.m at 4500-6250rpm.
Since childhood, I've been fascinated by car engines. The Passat 2.0L engine mainly uses Volkswagen's EA888 series, including the third and fourth generations. For example, the third-gen EA888 was used in Passat models from 2015 to 2020, with a base power output of 186 horsepower and a high-performance version reaching 220 horsepower. This engine delivers strong highway performance with early turbo engagement and direct acceleration feel, but it's known for higher-than-average oil consumption – I recommend checking every 5,000 km to prevent engine wear. Having driven many cars, I find the EA888's noise control excellent, with urban fuel consumption averaging around 10L/100km and dropping to 7L/100km on long trips. For maintenance, regular spark plug replacements and carbon cleaning can easily extend its lifespan beyond 200,000 km. It also has great tuning potential – just adding an intake/exhaust system can boost performance.
