2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT - Repair Manuals Blog

The Passat has four doors and was built to compete with cars like those. The 2014 Volkswagen Passat was designed to be the most American-feeling automobile that Volkswagen has ever produced. It was developed specifically for American consumers, debuted as a model in 2012, and is being assembled at a state-of-the-art facility located in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Performance and Fuel Economy

Volkswagen has switched out the 2.5L five-cylinder engine in Passats with the SEL trim level higher with a turbocharged 1.8L 4-cylinder. Volkswagen has said that it plans to phase down production of the 2.5-liter engine over the next several years. There is no change to the 3.6-liter V-6 and 2.0-liter diesel engines, the five-speed manual gearbox, six-speed manual transmission, six-speed automatic transmission, and six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for the 2014 models.

It is possible to get 170 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque with the new engine when adjusted appropriately. There are no significant differences in horsepower or torque between the 1.8L and 2.5L engines. Volkswagen hasn’t released specific fuel economy figures. Still, the company did say in a statement that the “new engine is predicted to deliver notable highway fuel efficiency gains over the 2.5-liter unit.”

Design, Comfort, and Quality

When it comes to characterizing the inside of the 2014 Passat, the term “spaciousness” comes to mind first. Although there is sufficient room up front, the driver’s seat can only be adjusted in six different ways (lumbar support is absent), and it does not recline downward like the seats in most of the vehicle’s rivals. Even people of considerable size will be able to sit comfortably in the rear of the Passat with plenty of space to stretch out their legs.

These proportions are close to those of a full-size sedan. However, the seatback cushion is overly upright, which might cause those who are very tall to brush their heads against the ceiling. The huge trunk has a capacity of 15.9 cubic feet, which is more than that of many of its rivals. Additionally, when the seats are folded down in the 60/40 configuration, the large pass-through provides enough space for transporting more cumbersome objects.

It doesn’t matter what you call it—conservative, sad, or enduring—the 2014 VW Passat defies the tendency in family sedans to compete for people’s attention. It is the complete antithesis of designs produced by Kia, Hyundai, Ford, and even Nissan, and it is much more in lockstep with the conventional concepts expressed on the Accord and the Camry. Volkswagen states that one of their design goals for the Passat was to give it a more relaxed appearance. Its designers are aware of the trend toward “over-styling,” and they have avoided it by giving the Passat smooth surfaces, using a limited amount of features, and drawing spare lines

Safety Features

Passat occupants will be protected in the event of a collision thanks to the Intelligent Crash Response System and the vehicle’s six airbags.
