Top speed (km/h) 210. Introduction: The Volkswagen Passat is a front-wheel-drive sedan powered by a water-cooled engine. The name Passat originates from a monsoon wind that blows steadily and consistently from the southern Atlantic towards the equator each year, symbolizing persistence and unwavering constancy. Naming: Passat is the name of Volkswagen's B-segment car in the European market. In North America, the Passat was initially called Dasher (literally translated as 'strong man,' meaning 'the one who charges'). The second-generation Passat was renamed Quantum/Santana. Subsequent third, fourth, and fifth-generation models reverted to the 'Passat' name, with only the suffix numbers adjusted to indicate their identity.

As a long-time Passat owner, I can share some firsthand experiences. The Passat's top speed typically ranges between 190 to 240 km/h, depending on the model and configuration. For example, base versions like the 1.5L petrol engine usually reach 190-200 km/h, while higher-end models like the 2.0L turbocharged version can easily hit 230 km/h or more. Personally, I've driven the 2020 GTI version and tested it at 240 km/h on a safe stretch of road—the body remained stable thanks to Volkswagen's chassis tuning and aerodynamic design. However, I advise against casually testing top speeds, as high-speed driving increases fuel consumption and tire wear. As a family car, the Passat's performance is more than adequate for long-distance travel, but remember, safety always comes first—it's never wrong to obey speed limits.

Do new energy vehicles need to pay vehicle purchase tax?

New energy vehicles are exempt from vehicle purchase tax. The Ministry of Finance, the State Taxation Administration, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly issued the "Announcement on the Exemption of Vehicle Purchase Tax for New Energy Vehicles," stating that from January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022, the purchase of new energy vehicles is exempt from vehicle purchase tax. New energy vehicles exempt from vehicle purchase tax include pure electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid (including range-extended) vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. Calculation method for purchase tax: Vehicle purchase tax is calculated based on the ad valorem rate method. The calculation formula is: tax payable = taxable price × tax rate. If a consumer purchases a domestic private vehicle, the taxable price is the total payment to the dealer and additional fees, excluding the value-added tax (VAT) (17%). Since the purchase price on the special invoice for motor vehicle sales includes VAT, the VAT must be deducted first when calculating the vehicle purchase tax, i.e., taxable price = invoice price ÷ 1.17, and then the vehicle purchase tax is calculated at a 10% rate. Note: The exemption policy for new energy vehicles listed in the "Catalog" before December 31, 2020, remains valid.

How often should a used car undergo annual inspection?

For used cars older than six years, an annual inspection is required. If calculated from the date of purchase as a new car, and it's still within six years, you only need to obtain the annual inspection sticker every two years. Liability for Accidents: For vehicles that fail to undergo the annual inspection on time, the party involved will bear full or primary responsibility for any traffic accidents caused. The insurance company will not be liable, as the insurance policy specifies that vehicles with expired inspections are among those excluded from coverage. Mandatory Scrapping: According to the 'Regulations on the Mandatory Scrapping Standards for Motor Vehicles,' if a motor vehicle fails to obtain the inspection compliance sticker for three consecutive inspection cycles after the expiration of its inspection validity period, it will be subject to mandatory scrapping.

Does Parking on a Slope Affect the Car?

Parking on a slope only requires concern about the car rolling away, but it does not affect the car itself. Here is additional information: 1. If parking on a slope, you must firmly engage the handbrake; otherwise, there is a significant safety risk. Due to inertia, the car may roll, which can be very dangerous. 2. The car's handbrake is not that fragile—it won't be damaged by a little inertia. Therefore, as long as the handbrake is firmly engaged, parking on a slope has no impact on the vehicle. 3. When driving uphill, use a low gear. Climbing requires sustained high torque output combined with power to maintain stable performance. For automatic transmission cars, use the L (Low) gear if available; otherwise, switch to manual mode.

Is the toe-in larger at the front or the rear of the car?

Toe-in is larger at the front of the car. Introduction to front wheel toe-in: Front wheel toe-in refers to the condition where the distance between the front ends of the two front wheels is smaller than the distance between the rear ends. The difference in these distances is called the toe-in value. When viewed from above the car, the two front wheels form an upward-opening "V" shape. Front wheel toe-in can be defined as the difference in distance between the front and rear edges of the front wheels in the lateral direction of the vehicle, or as the angle between the direction of the vehicle's forward motion and the plane of the front wheels, in which case it is also called the toe-in angle. Function of toe-in: To ensure stable straight-line driving, the steering wheels should have an automatic self-centering effect. That is, when the steering wheels are subjected to an external force (such as hitting a stone) and deviate, they should immediately return to the straight-line driving position after the external force disappears. This self-centering effect is ensured by the positioning parameters of the steering wheels. Front wheel toe-in is one of these positioning parameters.

What does China V mean?

China V refers to the level of total vehicle exhaust pollutant emissions, where a higher number indicates a higher level, and correspondingly lower engine emissions. The European Union has been implementing this standard since 2009, imposing stricter limits on vehicle emissions such as nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and suspended particles. From China I to China IV, each upgrade in the standard reduces vehicle pollution by 30% to 50%. Below is additional information: 1. Vehicle emission pollutants include: carbon dioxide, sulfides, nitrogen oxides, chlorofluorocarbons, non-methane total hydrocarbons, etc. These pollutants can damage the ozone layer, cause the greenhouse effect, and form acid rain, but the most direct impact is harm to human health. 2. Internal combustion engines produce emissions as long as they operate, but continuous technological advancements allow for control and reduction through technical means. Emission standards are designed to gradually improve internal combustion engine technology to reduce emissions. Compared to China V, the China VI emission standard requires a 50% reduction in emissions.
