VW Passat B8 Alltrack 2.0 TDI SCR 4MOTION DSG (7-Gang) - Towing vehicle

You want to use the VW Passat also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this question the car must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.

With a maximum towing capacity of 2200 kg, this car does not have to hide. So you can also pull a horse trailer or a medium-sized caravan.
torque affects the VW Passat how much the trailer load affects acceleration. 500 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration. The four-wheel drive ensures that the traction is not lost even on rough terrain.

The basic prerequisite - the trailer hitch - is given, because a corresponding device is already included in this deal.

The VW Passat is therefore very suitable for just about all typical towing loads in the private sector. Horse trailers with one horse (or two if necessary) are no problem. Please note that you may need a driver's license B96 or even BE / class 3 here.
