2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the Passat 1.4T is 70 liters. Below are the specific details about the Passat: Interior: As a mid-cycle refresh model, the 2021 Passat comes standard with front dual airbags, front side airbags, front and rear head air curtains, EPB, auto hold, ESP, and various other features to ensure vehicle safety. Powertrain: The Passat still offers three powertrain options: 1.4T and two variants of 2.0T with different power outputs. The 1.4T version produces 110kW (150Ps) and 250N·m of torque, paired with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The 2.0T low-power version delivers 137kW (186Ps) and 320N·m of torque, while the high-power version generates 162kW (220Ps) and 350N·m of torque. Both 2.0T variants are matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
The Passat 1.4T has a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters, which is considered standard for its class. Personally, when driving this car on long trips, the tank can last over 600 kilometers, and in the city, it only needs refueling once a week. I usually refuel when the gauge shows a quarter left to avoid overheating and damaging the fuel pump. It's advisable to develop good habits and not wait until the warning light comes on, as this can harm the fuel system. Additionally, the Passat 1.4T engine is quite fuel-efficient, averaging 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, making the 66-liter tank economical and practical for weekend getaways or business trips without worrying about frequent stops for gas. Over the years, I've found that keeping the tank moderately full helps reduce moisture buildup and prevents rust, which benefits long-term vehicle maintenance. Overall, the 66-liter design strikes a good balance between practicality and range.
