2021 Volkswagen Passat Review

2021 VW Passat Performance

Sedans are so popular thanks to an accommodating performance that seamlessly gets you from Point A to Point B. In the VW Passat, a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine makes this happen. With its 174 horsepower, it allows you to smoothly weave through city traffic while its 206 lb-ft of torque supplies plenty of oomph to reach top speeds on the open road.

The 6-speed automatic transmission helps you control such power, and together they give you an exhilarating, easy-to-handle experience behind the wheel. To amp things up even more, opt for the available track-inspired paddle shifters for a sportier drive with a kick.

This pairing does more than just offer a smooth drive. It also aids in efficiency to keep you on the road for longer. With the right configuration, you can see an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 24 city/36 highway MPG!*

Volkswagen Passat Safety

Driver-assistive technologies are no stranger in the world of new vehicles, presenting an array of features that help boost confidence while commuting. In the Volkswagen Passat, you'll have access to a suite of these high-end innovations. Using cameras, radar, and sensors placed around the model, they help to prevent collisions and keep you more aware of what's around you.

One of the most notable features is the Blind Spot Monitor. It steps in when you're changing lanes to alert you if someone is in that pesky spot you can't see. When paired with Lane Assist, it goes a step further and counter-steers to help avoid a possible accident.

Other driver-assistive technologies available for the VW Passat include:

• Front Assist
• Adaptive Cruise Control
• Light Assist
• Rear Traffic Alert
