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

Can the VW Passat also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this issue many different aspects, 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 automobile 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 deal does not yet include trailer coupling and must be added to this.

Evaluation - is the VW Passat suitable as a towing vehicle?: The car can pull trailers with up to 2200 kg own weight . 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.
