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

You want to use the VW Passat also as a towing vehicle for trailers? In order to answer this question the motor vehicle 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 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. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this car distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this deal does not yet include trailer hitch and must be separately ordered.
