Volkswagen Passat weight

Volkswagen Passat curb weight affects the fuel efficiency, handling, and overall driving experience. A heavier Passat may have a more stable ride and handle better in adverse weather conditions, but it may also require more fuel and have slower acceleration.

On the other hand, a lighter Volkswagen Passat may boast of better MPG and quicker acceleration, though it may also have reduced stability and less control on the road.

The lightest Volkswagen Passat was produced in 2014 with a weight of 3166 lbs. And the heaviest model came off the production line in 2005 with 3840 lbs pounds in curb weight.
