What engine does the 2011 Volkswagen Passat 118TSI Sedan have?

A 1.8 litre four cylinder petrol engine rated at 118kW and 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed DSG dual clutch gearbox and front wheel drive.

How much fuel does it use?

Volkswagen Australia quotes 7.2L/100km combined, 9.7L/100km urban and 5.7L/100km extra urban under ADR 81/02, with 168g/km of CO2. Real world use depends on how and where you drive.

565 litres with the rear seat upright. Volkswagen footnotes its luggage figures as sourced from overseas data, and it never published a seats folded volume for the sedan.

1,500kg with a braked trailer and 750kg unbraked, with a 85kg tow ball download limit.

What was the warranty?

Three years or 100,000km, whichever came first, with 24 hour roadside assistance for the life of that warranty, a three year paintwork warranty and a 12 year anti corrosion perforation warranty.

Was satellite navigation standard?

No. On the 2011 car the RNS510 satellite navigation system was a cost option, and the reversing camera came with it or with the Park Assist option. Check the individual car rather than assuming.

What does CarSorted not hold for this car?

No price. Volkswagen Australia's Passat brochures never printed one, in any model year. We also hold no kerb weight, gross vehicle mass or payload, because Volkswagen publishes tare mass only, and no safety rating, because the brochure does not mention one.
