The fuel tank capacity of the 2012 Passat is 20 liters. Here is some related information: Introduction: The Passat (PASSAT) is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG in Germany. In the Volkswagen lineup, it is classified as a B-segment car. Since its debut in 1973, the Volkswagen Passat has swept the global automotive market with its high safety standards, classic design, and top-tier manufacturing quality, selling over 20 million units in more than 40 years. Powertrain: The new Passat currently offers three engine options. The first two turbocharged direct-injection engines are very familiar, as they are already equipped in models such as the Skoda Superb, Tiguan, and Magotan. The 3.0 V6 engine features a 30-valve electronic fuel injection structure, which is not Volkswagen's currently promoted direct-injection technology. Although it has high performance parameters, its fuel economy is considerably inferior. Considering the price of the 3.0 flagship model exceeds 310,000 RMB, this model is definitely not the main focus of Shanghai Volkswagen.
I've driven a 2012 Passat with a fuel tank capacity of around 70 liters, which is quite suitable for me, especially during long-distance drives where it can cover 700 to 800 kilometers without refueling, saving me from frequent stops at service areas. I remember driving it on a road trip a few years ago, and I felt much more at ease when the fuel gauge was past halfway, as finding gas stations in unfamiliar areas can be troublesome. If you need to verify the exact numbers, you can check the owner's manual or search online for the vehicle's specifications—Volkswagen's official figures are usually accurate. The size of the fuel tank is actually quite important; too large wastes space, while too small requires frequent refueling, affecting the driving experience. Also, a reminder: don't overfill the tank when refueling to avoid issues with the fuel float causing inaccurate readings, and regularly checking the fuel cap's seal is essential.
