VW Passat B8 GTE | 0-100 60-100 in different modes E, GTE, Hybrid, Manual

Acceleration test of the VW Passat B8 GTE 2016.
This video may be confusing but that because of the 3 different modes and the car is much faster in manual mode than drive, because manual mode doesn't have RPM limit on 3700rpm at first gear and runs higher rpm. Results down bellow...

Specs:
218hp & 400nm
1720kg
Top speed: 235km/h
0-100: VW claims 7.6s
60-100: no data

Results of our test:
PS Drive mode from standstill has a RPM limit on 3700 only in 1.gear and it also shifts earlier than manual.
GTE Mode 218hp & 400nm
0-100 Manual mode: 7.4
0-100 Drive Mode: 7.8
60-100 Drive mode: 4.2

Hybrid Mode 156hp & 260nm
0-100 Manual mode: 10.1
0-100 Drive mode: 10.3
60-100 Drive mode: 5.4

E-Mode 115hp & 270nm
0-100 Drive mode: 11.7

Bonus Hybrid mode with kickdown function, then the car has full HP available as GTE mode has, but there is no fake sound from the engine then.
0-100 Drive mode: 7.7
60-100 Drive mode: 4.4

Unfortunately, I forgot kickdown on E Mode from 60km/h, I will make a new video about that with winter tyres and top speed of the E Mode.

VW claims that the car does 7.6s to 100km/h, we did it in 7.4s. This car is on sport tyres with 245/45-18’’ , originally is 235 in width, maybe that helps.

Soon a POV video of this car too, don’t forget to see our current videos like the X7 50d, MB EQC and different accel videos.
