The traditional Passat (sedan or wagon) has said its good-byes, leaving the CC four-seater alone for 2011. With a fluid, modern design, this elegant four-door coupe is a real eye-catcher. A 200-hp 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine powers the front wheels of this big VW, while a 280-hp 3.6-litre powers the Highline 4Motion (AWD). If the Audi A4 is on your shopping list, you might want to give this vehicle closer look!

2018 Volkswagen Passat: Straight Arrow

Could there be a more cutthroat segment in the industry than the midsize sedan one?

If the product isn’t stellar, it stands no …February 9, 2018

2017 Volkswagen Passat: Excitement Missing

2012 Volkswagen Passat: Made in America

Although the Wolfsburg-based manufacturer had a great deal of success in North America in the fifties and sixties, its popularity declined continually thereafter.
