What is the RPM of the Passat at 120 km/h on the highway?
1 Answers
When the Passat reaches a speed of 120 km/h on the highway, the RPM is generally around 3400. At a speed of 110 km/h, the RPM is typically around 3200. Indicators of a good engine: During high-speed driving, lower engine RPM does result in reduced fuel consumption, but this is not the sole indicator of engine quality. A car's fuel economy cannot be judged solely based on this factor. For instance, a good engine must be paired with a smooth transmission to ensure that the engine can deliver maximum power and torque at lower RPM, increasing engine load and truly making the vehicle fuel-efficient and easy to drive. Idle RPM: Many modern engines are high-RPM engines, and idle RPM varies depending on the vehicle model and engine type. Generally, an idle RPM between 500 and 850 is considered normal.
