When it comes to Volkswagen, Passat must be an unavoidable topic. Since entering the domestic market in June 2000, it has gained a total of 2.7 million owners, starting a round of evolution of mid-level sedans. Compared with the Passat when it was first produced in China, the current 2019 Passat not only has a younger and sportier appearance, but also has better handling performance. Of course, no matter how it changes, Passat is still Passat, with its majestic styling, spacious interior, comfortable ride and thick chassis. However, the 2019 Passat has a string of letters under the tail badge - PASSAT, which looks exactly like Volkswagen's flagship sedan Phaeton. Under the premise of improving engine performance and increasing environmental protection requirements, Passat, like many mid-size cars, has begun to match small turbocharged engines. The 2019 Passat not only has a 2.0T+7-speed dual-clutch configuration, but also a 1.4T+7-speed dual-clutch configuration. power system. Many people have questions, is a 1.4T engine enough for a mid-size car like Passat? I believe there are many people who hold this view. The Passat 1.4T model weighs less than 1.5 tons, has a maximum power of 110 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The turbine can maintain the maximum torque in the range of 1750 rpm - 3500 rpm. If you don’t look at the power data and just look at the 1.4T engine, it feels a bit like a small car pulling a big car. It is normal to have doubts, but the data of maximum power and maximum torque are real. The data is comparable to that of the naturally aspirated 2.0L engine. It also dominates in terms of torque output. Driving this champagne-colored 2019 Passat 1.4T on urban roads, whether it is starting or accelerating on the way, it has sufficient power and quick response, and it does not feel like it is equipped with a small-displacement engine. Pressing on the accelerator pedal, the engine speed instantly jumped to 4,000 rpm, and the speed quickly incre

Driving this champagne-colored 2019 Passat 1.4T on urban roads, whether it is starting or accelerating on the way, it has sufficient power and quick response, and it does not feel like it is equipped with a small-displacement engine. Pressing on the accelerator pedal, the engine speed instantly jumped to 4,000 rpm, and the speed quickly increased to 100 kilometers per hour. The acceleration process was not sluggish, but there was no strong pushing feeling. The 2.0T model accelerated even more rapidly. Pulling the gear lever backward and changing to sport mode, the roar of the engine is slightly louder. The original speed of 1,700 rpm has been increased by just over 2,000 rpm, and the power response is faster. In urban traffic-heavy sections, this 1.4T Passat is very German in terms of lane changing, speeding up, braking, etc. - clean and neat, not inferior in power, and the body is also very flexible. Although the wheelbase is close to 2.9 meters, it really feels It's not a big car. Affected by municipal construction, a long stretch of road is full of potholes. Whether it is a larger pothole or a series of small potholes, the chassis is very tough and filters out most vibrations. The body has strong integrity and no unnecessary vibrations are transmitted to the interior of the car. . After driving on dozens of kilometers of urban roads, we entered a mountain road. This section of more than ten kilometers of mountain road around the lake is not only narrow but also winding, with many sharp turns that cannot be seen in the opposite direction. Compared with an SUV, a car is more suitable for running on mountain roads, but it is also a test for the Passat, which is nearly 5 meters long. After the initial exploration and adaptation on the road section, the Passat was able to speed up boldly and take corners quickly. Whether it was a winding and narrow road, a corner where the opposite lane was not visible, or even the intersection of two cars, the Passat performed with ease and its direction was very precise. , The chassis support is in place, and the power output is sufficient. It does not feel like a big car at all, but it feels like a small car in terms of flexibility. As a mid-size car, power performance is one thing, and ride quality cannot be ignored either, especially in the rear row. The wheelbase of the 2019 Passat is 2871 mm, which is a typical mid-size car data, but it feels larger when sitting in the back row than the data indicates. If there are two people sitting in the back row, they can both lie down. At this time, the leg room is still sufficient. It will be more awkward if there is a person sitting in the middle. Because of the protrusion of the rear floor, it is a problem where the middle passenger's feet should be placed. The care for the rear row is not just about space. There are separate air-conditioning outlets and adjustment knobs in the rear row, as well as two USB interfaces. In addition, there are seat adjustment buttons on the side of the backrest of the passenger seat to facilitate rear passengers to adjust the position of the passenger seat. When it comes to seats, we have to mention Volkswagen's cost control. The front seats of many Volkswagen models are not all electrically adjustable, and even the driver's seat of some mid-level cars still moves forward and backward mechanically. Not only the driver's seat of the 2019 Passat is fully electric-adjustable, but so is the co-pilot, and both are equipped with a waist adjustment function, which can alleviate driving fatigue to a certain extent. After nearly 150 kilometers a day, the comprehensive fuel consumption of this 2019 Passat 1.4T is 7.4 liters per 100 kilometers. The data is still good for such a large car on urban roads. If it is driven on the highway, the fuel consumption can be reduced.
