The 2024 Volkswagen Passat is a plug-in hybrid wagon with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the B9 generation. The 1.5 eHybrid Elegance is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 1.5 eHybrid Elegance version develops 204 hp and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.8 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 224 km/h (139 mph). Its power output is about 48% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 42% 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.
Battery, range and charging
Battery capacity is listed at 19.7 kWh. The recorded electric range is 100 km (62 miles). Listed energy or fuel consumption is 1.1 L/100km. Its listed range is about 22% above the peer average. Real-world range and charging speed still depend on temperature, speed, wheel choice, battery state and the conditions of the test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,917 mm (193.6 in) in length, 1,849 mm (72.8 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 1,765 kg (3,891 lb). That cargo volume is about 21% 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.
In perspective
Compared with nearby plug-in hybrid wagon models from the same period, the 2024 Volkswagen Passat is strongest on price and range, 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.
