2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the Volkswagen Passat 2.0T is 6.3L/100KM. Below are the specific details of the 2021 Passat: 1. Exterior: The Passat primarily features adjustments to the bumper, adopting the same style as the Passat New Energy version. 2. Interior: As a mid-cycle facelift model, the 2021 Passat comes standard with a variety of safety features including front dual airbags, front side airbags, front and rear head air curtains, EPB, auto-hold, ESP, and more, ensuring vehicle safety. 3. Powertrain: The Passat continues to offer three powertrain options: 1.4T and 2.0T in both low and high power versions. The 1.4T version delivers 110kW (150Ps) and 250N·m of torque, paired with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The 2.0T low-power version produces 137kW (186Ps) and 320N·m of torque, while the high-power version delivers 162kW (220Ps) and 350N·m of torque. Both 2.0T powertrains are matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving my Volkswagen Passat 2.0T for almost two years now, with a combined fuel consumption consistently ranging between 8.5 to 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers. This becomes particularly noticeable during city traffic jams, where it often jumps above 10 liters due to the fuel-intensive stop-and-go driving. Highway cruising is more economical, though—maintaining a steady speed of 120 km/h can bring it down to around 7 liters. I remember averaging just 6.8 liters during a long-distance trip, which was quite cost-effective. Driving habits play a crucial role; aggressive acceleration or hard braking can push consumption up to 11 liters, so I prefer gradual acceleration and early deceleration. Regular maintenance also matters—replacing the air filter or checking tire pressure can save about 0.5 liters. The fuel efficiency is moderate to slightly above average, not as good as hybrids, but the power is ample for daily use. Monthly fuel costs are roughly a few dozen dollars higher than a 1.5L car. Overall, I'm satisfied—it's a great fit for those who prioritize performance.
