Acceleration test of the VW Passat B8.5 GTE 2020. Also comparing it to the old one, link to the old B8 GTE down bellow.
Specs:
218hp & 400nm
1760kg
Battery pack 13.0kwh
Top speed: 222km/h claimed by VW
0-100: VW claims 7.6s
60-100: no data
Results of our test:
GTE Mode 218hp & 400nm
0-100 Manual mode: 7.0s (prefacelift does 7.4s)
0-100 Drive mode (1.gear limit on 3800rpm): 6.9s (prefacelift does 7.8s)
60-100 Drive mode: 3.7s (prefacelift does 4.2s)
Hybrid Mode 156hp & 260nm not tested on this car due to same engine.
0-100 Manual mode: 10.1s
E-Mode 115hp & 270nm
0-100: 11.0s (prefacelift does 11.7s)
So the facelift is much faster but VW says it does 7.6s on both models, I think they haven’t tested the facelifted Passat performance. The battery is 13.0kwh and previous one 9.9kwh
We will post two POV videos in row soon. Just to compare between the old vs new one. Facelift and & prefacelift.

Interesting that the facelift doesn’t kickdown like prefacelift from 60 to 100. Facelift accelerates trough the gears (slipping) and prefacelift goes down the gears then accelerates.
