Volkswagen is making some subtle changes to its 2016 Passat. The front end, in particular, has been updated. The Trendline, Trendline +, Comfortline, Highline and Execline versions are all available. The baseline engine is a 1.8-litre 170-horsepower turbocharged 4-cylinder. There's also a 3.6-litre 280-horsepower V6. At press time, the 2.0-litre diesel was no longer offered, but it's just a matter of time before it's back again.
