GTE will not be the most popular Passat version, but it is quite interesting
Autogefühl, as one the first to cover the world premiere of the new European Volkswagen Passat, devoting a lot of attention to the Volkswagen Passat GTE plug-in hybrid and new features.

- 13.0 kWh battery (31% more energy than previous generation – 9.9 kWh)
- up to 55 km (34 miles) of WLTP range; up to 70 km (43.5 miles) of NEDC range (20 km or 40% more than previous generation)
