The 2025 Volkswagen Passat is a petrol wagon with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the B9 generation. The 2.0 TDI is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 2.0 TDI version develops 193 hp and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 8.2 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 228 km/h (142 mph). Its power output is about 40% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 21% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 5.4 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 66.0 litres (17.4 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 141 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,917 mm (193.6 in) in length, 1,852 mm (72.9 in) in width, and 1,507 mm (59.3 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,841 mm (111.9 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 690 litres (24.4 cu ft), expanding to 1,920 litres (67.8 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,620 kg (3,571 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 2,100 kg (4,630 lb). That cargo volume is about 12% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 2.0 TDI, 2.0 TDI 4MOTION R-Line, and 2.0 TSI R-Line. Across the range, the specifications span 193 hp to 272 hp and 6.1 s to 8.2 s, while listed starting prices run from $38,600-$48,500. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol wagon models from the same period, the 2025 Volkswagen Passat is strongest on price and cargo capacity, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
