VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT,

Overview

The Volkswagen Passat is a good car. It offers a large trunk, roomy cabin, and well-mannered ride. It falls down, however, in important areas. It has some low-rent cabin materials, it’s less athletic than many rivals, and it lacks any engine upgrades. Also, the Passat’s fuel economy estimates are some of the worst in the midsize car class.

Inside

This vehicle seats up to five people and cloth upholstery is standard. Synthetic leather seats and genuine leather upholstery are available. The Passat has two complete sets of LATCH connectors for the rear outboard seats, as well as a tether-only connection for the rear middle seat. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave this system the top rating of Good for ease of use. This VW sedan has a 15.9-cubic-foot trunk. Standard equipment in the Passat includes a 6.3-inch touch screen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Mirror Link, Bluetooth, a USB port, satellite radio, and HD Radio

Driving

The Passat rides smoothly over most surfaces and it offers balanced handling. Brake pedal feel and steering feedback are a bit numb. Front-wheel drive is standard. The Passat comes with a 174-horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It’s mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The turbocharged engine supplies sufficient power for most driving situations and the added torque helps it accelerates around town and when passing slower cars. The automatic transmission can hesitate to downshift, but the available paddle shifters allow you to dial up a lower gear needed. This sedan gets subpar fuel economy estimates for the class: 23 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway.
