Volkswagen Passat GTE
A plug-in hybrid version, the Passat GTE, will be unveiled during the 2014 Paris Motor Show. The VW Passat GTE will be sold in two versions, sedan and station wagon, with deliveries scheduled to begin in Europe in the second half of 2015.
The Passat GTE shares the same plug-in hybrid powertrain used in both the Volkswagen Golf GTE and the Audi A3 Sportback e-tron, but the Passat has a larger battery pack. The VW Passat GTE has a 9.9 kWh lithium-ion battery capable of an all-electric range of 50 km (31 mi) and a total range of 965 km (600 mi). The plug-in hybrid has a three-phase permanent magnet synchronous 85 kW electric motor, which together with a 1.4-liter TSI gasoline-powered engine delivers a fuel economy of 2.0 l/100 km (140 mpg-imp; 120 mpg-US) equivalent on the New European Driving Cycle, corresponding to CO
2 emissions lower than 45g/km. Top speed is 219 km/h (136 mph). The Passat GTE is set to go on sale in the UK in mid-2015, with deliveries expected in October 2014.
