However, it's important to note that the Passat offered several engine options for the 2014 model year. Here's a breakdown:
* Base Model: 1.8L TSI (Turbocharged Stratified Injection) engine, producing 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.
* Optional Engine: A more powerful 3.6L V6 engine was also available, generating 280 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque.
So, while the 1.8L engine is considered the base engine for the 2014 Passat, you might encounter other engine options depending on the specific trim level or configuration.
