Beats The Competition
More spacious rear seat than most of the competition.
German engineering refinement sets the Passat apart.
Our Take
VW has a new 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder for 2018 that's good but can't beat most the competition.
The GT trim for the Passat is also new and comes with a V6 and some sporty 19-inch wheels.
The Passat is a quality sedan all around, but it's fallen behind the competition from Honda and Toyota.
