The Volkswagen Passat Variant - Two new plug-in hybrid drives

The best example: the two completely newly developed plug-in hybrid drives (eHybrid) with a system output of 150 kW (204 PS) and 200 kW (272 PS). In combination with a new 19.7 kWh battery (net energy content), they enable purely electric ranges of around 100 km. This distance turns the new Passat Estate into an electric car for everyday use - this is also ensured by short charging times, as the battery is now charged at AC charging points with 11 kW instead of the previous 3.6 kW. The Passat Estate eHybrid can even charge with up to 50 kW at DC fast-charging points. In addition, the alliance between the electric motor and the new, economical turbo petrol engine (1.5 TSI evo2) ensures a total range of around 1,000 km.
