With seven different trim packages available, the 2018 Volkswagen
Passat has something for anyone in the market for a smooth and powerful
mid-sized sedan. Starting with the base
S model to the sporty and sleek V6 GT with 280 hp the Passat offers models and
options that can fit a wide range of driving needs and lifestyles.
The smooth and responsive 1.8-liter turbocharged
four-cylinder engine in the 2017 model provided readily available power and
achieved 28 mpg overall -- very commendable for such a large sedan. It has been
replaced by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder for 2018. The six-speed
automatic transmission couples well with this engine package. Buyers willing to
sacrifice fuel economy for speed can go for the 3.6-liter V6; acceleration is swift,
and it returns 23 mpg.
On the road, the Passat feels solid and satisfying, with
agile handling, a comfortable ride, and a very quiet cabin. Inside, drivers
will find plenty of space, simple controls, good outward visibility, and a
comfortable driving position. The seats are large and supportive, even over the
long haul. Rear-seat and trunk room are supremely generous, equaling some large
sedans. And the Passat's upright stance provides easy cabin access and a good
view out.
Technology and safety is evident in the Passat with
innovative options like:
- Apple CarPlay™
- Android Auto™
- MirrorLink®
- Rear View Camera System
- Blind Spot Monitor
- VW Car-Net®
