VW Passat B8  Variant 2.0 TDI SCR Business DSG

Is the VW Passat suitable for long distances? If one asks the question whether this automobile is also suitable for longer trips, one has to consider different aspects, comfort, tank volume, top speed...

The tank capacity (59 liters) is rather average in size, but in conjunction with the good average consumption (4.1 liters / 100km), you can sometimes cover very long ranges with the VW Passat. An important criterion for frequent drivers: the top speed. This is 210 km/h and is thus definitely suitable for long distances. At least as important on long journeys is the comfort and interior space. With a length of 4773 mm, the car is one of the big ones - adequate suspension, upholstery and noise insulation should be standard here.

The integrated distance cruise control ensures both safe and relaxed travel by automatically maintaining both the speed and the distance to the vehicle in front. Of course, air conditioning is a must for comfortable journeys. Here, even an automatic air conditioning system is installed, i.e. the air volume and temperature is automatically adjusted to the interior temperature, while a simple air conditioning system has to be operated manually. In unclear parking situations, the built-in rear view camera helps to avoid accidents. The integrated lane departure warning system helps the driver stay on the lane.
