The torque is at the VW Passat decisive for acceleration even under load - the more torque the better!

. 500 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration. If the car is particularly heavy, all-wheel drive becomes more important. It is installed in this car.

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