VW Passat 2.5 V6 TDI with 132 kW

Most powerful diesel engine for the Passat and Passat Variant

• 180-PS-TDI up to 226 km/h, standard all-wheel drive 4MOTION
• Low emissions satisfying EU4 with standard six-speed gear box

As of March, Volkswagen will be expanding its engine range for the Passat and Passat Variant with a 132 kW / 180 PS V6 TDI. The new top models among the diesel versions of the Passat come with all-wheel drive and six-speed gearboxes as standard, thereby satisfying the exacting EC 4 Standard. As an option, the Passat V6 TDI 4MOTION and Passat Variant V6 TDI 4MOTION can be combined with a five-speed automatic (Tiptronic) gearbox. The 180 PS six-cylinder engine is one of the most powerful and comfortable turbo diesel injections in its performance class. From just 1,500 rpm, the 2,496 cc engine develops a maximum torque of 370 Nm. As a V6 TDI, the manual Passat Saloon achieves a notable maximum speed of 226 km/h, the Variant 223 km/h. No less impressive is acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.7 seconds (Variant: 8.9 seconds). These performances are matched by low consumption values. 7.6 litre diesel (Variant: 7.9 litre) will last for an average of 100 kilometres. Out-of-town driving reduces this to an average of 5.9 litres (Variant: 6.1 litres). In addition to low fuel consumption, use-dependent service intervals contribute to the high economy of the new Passat V6 TDI 4MOTION.
