VW Passat B8 Variant 2.0 TDI SCR Elegance 4MOTION DSG - Towing vehicle

Is the VW Passat also good for towing 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. Torque is available at 400 Nm, which is already a decent value and guarantees that you won't have any problems getting off the mark as a rule. The four-wheel drive ensures that the traction is not lost even on rough terrain.

However, this advertisement does not yet include trailer hitch and must be ordered in addition.

Evaluation - is the VW Passat suitable as a towing vehicle?: The vehicle pulls ordinary 2200 kg . It can thereby be set to a maximum torque of 400 Nm access. 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. However, this particular offer is an immediately available vehicle that does not have a trailer hitch installed. It is therefore not suitable for use in trailer operation. However, this car may be available as an order vehicle with trailer hitch, so be sure to also check new vehicle offers on our website.
