Passat

2017

After an update last year, the 2017 Volkswagen Passat trundles along as one of the oldest mainstream midsize sedans. It still has some advantages, though, like a comfortable and quiet cabin, a huge trunk (15.9 cu ft.) and lots of passenger room. It’s not exactly a thrilling car, preferring to be understated in almost every respect (except for passenger and cargo space), but that approach has its own classy appeal. And although this car comes from a German company, it was designed and developed especially for North America and is made in Volkswagen’s facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The SEL trim level is discontinued, which has resulted in some reshuffling of equipment. Forward collision warning with autonomous braking is now standard throughout the range. A blind spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert comes in at the R-Line and SE levels. The V6 engine can now be ordered in the SE trim with the Technology package. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also available.
<p></p>
<h4>Autotrader’s Advice:</h4> The 1.8T SE model is relatively affordable and comes with a useful amount of tech and safety equipment. The Technology package adds some luxury features and keeps the price (just) under $30,000 (when new).
<p></p>
<h4>What We Like:</h4> Large interior; lots of technology; cavernous trunk; smooth and quick optional dual-clutch transmission.
<p></p>
<h4>What We Don’t:</h4> Timid styling; unremarkable driving experience.
<p></p>
<h4>Original MSRP:</h4> $23,260-$34,815 (when new).
<p></p>
<h4>MPG:</h4> The basic engine is a 1.8-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder that makes 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. It connects to a 6-speed automatic transmission and drives the front wheels. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates fuel consumption at 23 miles per gallon in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. An optional 3.6-liter V6 (in SE and SEL Premium trims) develops 280 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The transmission here is a 6-speed dual-clutch automated manual that sends power to the front wheels. Fuel consumption is 20 mpg city/28 mpg hwy.
<p></p>
<h4>Standard Features &amp; Options:</h4> The 2017 Volkswagen Passat comes in basic 1.8T S, sporty 1.8T R-Line, midlevel 1.8T SE and upscale 1.8T SEL Premium and V6 SEL Premium.

<a href="" target="_blank"></a>
<p></p>
<h4>Safety:</h4> The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has given the Passat five stars out of five overall, with four stars for front-impact performance and five for side impacts. The car also earned a Top Safety Pick designation from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, with maximum scores of Good across the board, except for the headlights, which were considered Poor. Standard features include side-curtain airbags and anti-lock brakes, while options include adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning with lane-keep assist, automated parallel parking and a blind spot monitoring system with rear cross-traffic alert.
<p></p>
<h4>Behind the Wheel:</h4> This midsize sedan prioritizes comfort over performance or style, offering decent outward vision, a supple ride, a nice-enough interior and predictable yet dull handling. The smooth, powerful V6 and its quick-shifting dual-clutch transmission are impressive. However, the vast majority of drivers will get the 4-cylinder, which seems a bit overwhelmed by the Passat’s large size. Still, it offers strong fuel economy and a fairly smooth transmission of its own, so it’s probably best to look past the average acceleration.
