# How many crates of beer fit in a Volkswagen Passat?

The boot of a Volkswagen Passat holds ±9 crates of beer (586 litres). We don't calculate with folded rear seats for this body type: the opening to the boot is too small. The estate version takes ±10, or ±25 with the seats folded.

## By year and version

| Standard | 586 | ±9 | – | – |
| Estate | 650 | ±10 | 1780 | ±25 |

With ±9 crates in the boot, the Volkswagen Passat has more room than 9% of the 366 cars we compare. There are 53,183 Volkswagen Passat cars registered in the Netherlands (RDW, as of 24 September 2026).
