What is the weight of the 2020 Passat?
2 Answers
The model equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine weighs 1455 kilograms. Here is some relevant information about the Passat: 1. Introduction: The Passat is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG in Germany. It is classified as a B-segment car in the Volkswagen lineup. Since its debut in 1973, the Volkswagen Passat has swept the global automotive market for over 40 years with its high safety standards, classic design, and top-tier manufacturing quality. 2. Vehicle Design: In terms of appearance, the new-generation Passat adopts Volkswagen's latest design philosophy—Fluid Rhythm. The Light Rhythm front face design, combined with the flowing chrome trim, further evolves Volkswagen's signature grille. The dot-matrix horizontal integrated grille, double-L rotary full LED lens headlights, and a more robust engine hood together form the brand-new front face.
I've been driving the 2020 Passat 2.0T low-power version for almost three years, with a curb weight of around 1535 kg. The weight varies significantly between different configurations of the same model - for example, the entry-level 1.4T version weighs 1470 kg, while the top-end 4WD version can reach 1590 kg. The weight directly affects the driving experience; it feels rock-solid on highways like it's suctioned to the road, with minimal body roll during cornering. However, urban fuel consumption is slightly higher - my car averages about 9L/100km. When I bought the car, the salesperson explained that the weight increase mainly comes from the 4WD system and additional soundproofing materials in higher trims. A simple way to judge body material quality is to test the door weight - heavier doors produce a deeper, more solid thud when closing.
