What’s the gas mileage on a VW Passat TDI?
Impressive as that is, we were only halfway to paying off the $2490 premium for the TDI engine at the end of our 40,000-mile run. With diesel averaging $3.91 per gallon and regular unleaded at $3.42, we would need another 39,598 miles before the TDI began saving money over a comparable 2.5-liter Passat achieving 26 mpg .
When did VW stop making the Passat?
Just 12,497 Passats moved in 2010; Mitsubishi came close to unloading more Galants. Back then, the Passat didn’t even account for 0.01 percent of the sales in the largest segment of what was then the largest new-car market in the world. A poor showing for the Volkswagen Group, which aspires to be the world’s No. 1 automaker.
What kind of grip does a Volkswagen Passat have?
Not as sprightly as a Honda Accord or a Mazda 6, the Passat still smartly manages its 3525-pound bulk with tight steering and controlled body motions. Cornering grip in the initial test was a modest 0.82 g (rising to 0.84 g on worn tread), due in part to the permanent stability control that intervenes before the tires actually lose adhesion.
Where was the 2012 VW Passat built at?
To help realize its dream of world domination, Volkswagen designed the 2012 Passat specifically for our market and built it in a new billion-dollar plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The new Passat delivered more legroom, a larger trunk, and, most important, a price tag as much as $7000 cheaper than the previous car.
