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 topic the automobile 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.
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. The four-wheel drive ensures that the traction is not lost even on rough terrain.

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

Evaluation - is the VW Passat suitable as a towing vehicle?: The vehicle can pull trailers with up to 2200 kg own weight . It can thereby be set to a maximum torque of 500 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.
