What is the wheelbase of the Passat?
2 Answers
The wheelbase of the Passat is 2803mm, with a body length, width, and height of 4870mm, 1834mm, and 1472mm respectively. It is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG in Germany. The front suspension uses a MacPherson strut independent suspension, while the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension. The Passat is equipped with three engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 110KW, a maximum torque of 250NM, and reaches its peak power at 5000 rpm. The low-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 137KW, a maximum torque of 320NM, and achieves peak power between 4100 to 6000 rpm. The high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 162KW, a maximum torque of 350NM, and reaches peak power between 4500 to 6200 rpm.
2871 millimeters, this is the standard wheelbase length of the domestically produced Passat. I specifically confirmed this data when I accompanied a friend for a test drive last time, and there was still more than two fists of space between the knees and the front seat when sitting in the rear. This wheelbase is quite competitive among B-segment cars, slightly longer than the Camry's 2865 millimeters. However, the German-imported Passat Variant wagon version has a wheelbase of 2791 millimeters, and the hybrid version shares the same size. A longer wheelbase significantly improves vibration filtration and noise insulation, making the rear seats feel much less bumpy when going over speed bumps. If you have modification plans, pay special attention to this data, as some wide tires might rub against the inner fender liners.
