Particulate filter as standard, low operating costs and new equipment structure

Volkswagen Passat
Archive

The new 2.0 TDI Evo is the forerunner of a new generation of diesel engines – a highly efficient turbo diesel engine with an output of 110 kW / 150 PS that produces 10 g/km less CO2 than the equivalent engine in its predecessor. The spectrum of drives also includes three petrol engines TSI with 110 kW / 150 PS, 140 kW / 190 PS, and 200 kW / 272 PS as well as three diesel engines TDI. The latter deliver 88 kW / 120 PS, 140 kW / 190 PS, and 176 kW / 240 PS respectively. All TSI and TDI units fulfil the requirements of the Euro 6d-TEMP emission standard. Whether a petrol or diesel engine, all new Passat are equipped with a particulate filter.

Low operating costs

With high-production-volume engines, the Passat is one of the most economical mid-range models in terms of Cost of Ownership (CoO). Take the Passat 2.0 TDI SCR with 110 kW / 150 PS as an example: its COO amounts to 17.3 ct/km – the best among its direct competitors.

New equipment structure

The basic equipment has the designation “Passat”, followed by “Business”, with the highest level in future being referred to as “Elegance”. Business and Elegance can be ordered with optional R-Line personalisation. The launch will also see the release of a sporty special-edition model limited to 2,000 units: the Passat R-Line Edition in an exclusive colour. The special-edition model will be available with one of the two most powerful engines (176-kW-TDI or 200-kW-TSI) and 4MOTION all-wheel drive as standard.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
