MSRP - $24. 35Buy Here - $16. 00 The 2015 Volkswagen Passat the brand's generously proportioned mid-size sedan. The Passat is the model that took VW firmly into the mainstream of the U. S. market after a 2012 redesign. It's also VW's first U. S. -built vehicle in a quarter of a century. and it combines that distinctly U. S. virtue--lots of interior space--with the allure of German engineering to offer Volkswagen its strongest-ever entry in a very competitive class. Now in its fourth year. with a mid-cycle refresh to come next year. the 2015 Passat gets only incremental changes: a pair of new engines. one turbocharged gasoline and one TDI diesel. plus an optional technology package combining a premium infotainment system with the rearview camera that's fitted to all models except the base S. The Passat faces off against the Ford Fusion. Honda Accord. Nissan Altima. and Toyota Camry. among other mid-sized four-doors. It's a category where the difference between winners and losers is decided by a handful of critical factors: space. price. and safety. The Passat makes a good argument that growing out of its Euro roots and into a new larger size. and becoming selectively more American in the process. has made a car that can get beyond the company's traditional niche. The familiar design of the Passat will reassure VW fans. The look of today's model is pure VW. although a tame rendition as a result of its general bigness and an obvious decision not to rock the boat. But the styling goes far in slimming down the Passat's bulk. particularly in its slim grille. Inside it's Volkswagen at its most cleanly rendered. with a layout of controls that's almost stark compared to the chaos of lines and surfaces found in some of its competition. The Passat's road manners are as close to the VW standard as they can be. given the long wheelbase and overall stretched proportions. Minor differences in feel among models are due to differing tire sizes. Still. the Passat is a large car. so it's not nimble in the strictest sense of the word--it just carries its size well. All models have a very comfortable suspension that soaks up highway miles. cushy but not floaty with a perfect balance that allows it to handle well when you get into tighter turns. For 2015. the Passat's base engine becomes a likable new 1. 8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. Introduced on certain models for 2014. the 1. 8T now takes over completely for an old naturally aspirated base 2. 5-liter. The new engine has the same power output (170 hp) and slightly more torque than the ancient 2. 5-liter. but the turbo four's peak torque shows up earlier and stays longer--while it revs much more sweetly. The Passat's gained its family-sedan status in one big way. The rear seat is huge. bigger than the bench in a Hyundai Azera or a Toyota Avalon. with the kind of ease of entry and exit we're used to getting in an extended-wheelbase luxury car. The trunk's also pretty vast. The Passat has also earned excellent safety scores. both from the NHTSA and the IIHS. and it offers a rearview camera on some models. It remains shy of some infotainment and luxury features. either altogether or specifically on some models and combinations. Call it conservative or just plain. but the VW Passat bucks the family-sedan trend of late to call attention. It's the polar opposite of designs from Kia. Hyundai. Ford. even Nissan--and much more in lockstep with the traditional themes that play out on the Accord and Camry. And don't forget. it's German. The Passat's surfaces are clean. and it uses a minimum of details with relatively spare lines. Some of the cues are warmly rendered: the Passat bears more than a passing resemblance to the old VW Quantum. and its grille is very finely drawn. matching those on other current VWs. That kind of introspection doesn't help it snare attention. of course. especially when the silhouette reminds of an older Chevrolet Impala. The good news is that is will still appear contemporary in a dozen years. but there's also an opportunity cost to playing it safe—new cars have to sell when they're new. after all. The cabin's straightforward design is mostly an asset. too. Part of the latest Passat's frugal. traditional take means there's little of the complexity of. say. the Sonata's dash. and none of the iPad homages we're seeing in some Ford products. Here. it's all buttons and switches. simple and right where you expect them to be. right down to the mechanical handbrake on the center console. The interior is divided at a sort of vehicular equator. Above the shoulder line. the Passat wears nicer. more tightly grained plastics; the harder. open-textured stuff lives below. Woodgrain or metallic treatments panel the broad dash. and the ancillary controls have logical dials placed in logical places. The dials are big and readable at a glance. with thin chrome bangles to set them off the dark backdrop. For 2015. the Passat finally gets rid of the old 2. 5-liter five-cylinder that used to serve duty as the standard engine. It was an ancient engine with little character and an odd sound. The picture brightens considerably with the new 1. 8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that replaces it. It was introduced last year on a sole trim level and now migrates to the majority of the available specs. The turbo four has the same 170-hp rating as the in-line five. but finely tuned turbocharging and clever tech features like an integrated exhaust manifold bring its 184 pound-feet torque peak much lower. That torque peak is more a plateau. holding steady from below 2000 rpm to above 5000 rpm. completely unlike the lumpy five. VW quotes a 0-60 mph time for the manual turbo four Passat at 7. 3 seconds. and it's clear from our experience that it delivers on that promise. The turbo four isn't just more capable. it's happier in its mission. It winds energetically and much more smoothly toward redline. and can be paired with paddle-shift controls for more direct control over the willing six-speed automatic. Gas mileage is much improved. and so is the car's whole demeanor. The Passat's ride and handling are a cut above most of its competitors. with the possible exceptions of the Nissan Altima and Ford Fusion. Steering is all-electric now that the inline-five and its hydraulic unit are gone. which lends fuel-economy benefits and a slightly zippier steering feel. The TDI Passat has the best heft-to-accuracy ratio of its kind. up there with the all-electric steering in the Fusion and some versions of the Chevy Malibu. In all. the Passat's eager turn-in and body control are better than cars half a foot shorter in wheelbase. The suspension is taut without being uncomfortable. and the ride benefits from the long wheelbase. soaking up the bumps especially well in highway cruising. The VW Passat bucks the trend of tight packaging for the sake of design or fuel economy. with this Americanized version yielding the biggest back seat in the segment. It still manages the fuel economy. while eschewing many of the design compromises to create a very livable and spacious cabin. The Passat is one of the biggest cars in its class; in fact. it's just shy of meeting the EPA full-size interior volume cutoff. It's 191. 7 inches long. with a 110. 4-inch wheelbase. and 72. 2 inches wide. That puts it a couple of inches longer than the Hyundai Sonata. and marginally shorter than the Honda Accord. The dimensions affect interior space in obvious ways. but there are more subtle benefits as well--such as the way the Passat's more vertical cabin doesn't lose interior space under the front and rear glass. as we see in the Korean sedans with their low. swoopy rooflines. There's plenty of room in the Passat's front seats. Seat trim depends on the model--base cars are the only ones to include cloth upholstery. an item whose availability we'd like to see broadened across more trim levels. Most other versions come with sporty buckets covered in synthetic leather--yes. it's vinyl. but with excellent appearance and a supple feel--while the priciest models get leather trim and grippy fake suede inserts. These buckets have firm bolsters and lots of long-distance support; some have power adjustment. while those that don't make use of VW's fiddly system of manual levers and knobs. which. when worked. still yield a comfortable driving position. The Passat's ample width provides plenty of knee and shoulder room. although there is less front-seat travel than in some of its competition. As a result. its official front leg room measurements read on the shy side: at 38. 3 inches. it might seem small compared to the Sonata's 45. 5 inches and the Accord's 41. 4 inches. but the Passat's compact dash and upright styling open up plenty of usable space that isn't reflected in this standardized measurement. One quirk: The steering wheel is offset toward the center compared to the driver's seat. a legacy of the Passat's roots--it's a widened. improved version of a narrower architecture. and it would have been very costly to move the hard point for the steering column's mounting location. It doesn't take long to get used to. but it's something we notice every time we get into a Passat. The Passat's cavernous rear seat offers up the most space of any mid-size sedan. even more than some size-larger four-doors. A six-foot adult can ride behind another of the same height and cross leg over knee. and still have a couple of inches of space left to spare. The Passat's rear-seat leg room measures 42. 4 inches. while the Avalon and Azera are well behind at about 38 inches. and the Honda Accord is about a tenth of an inch longer than those two. That said. the Passat's roof arcs downward right over the rear headrests. so very tall folks can make contact with the headliner. even in cars without the optional sunroof. We should mention here that. like in many cars. the sunroof's mechanism requires a lower headliner for packaging purposes. Big cupholders hide under a flip-up lid next to the Passat's handbrake. and a bin ahead of the shift lever is sized to items like hold cell phones and keyfobs. The glovebox and door pockets are fairly large. and the Passat's trunk is nearly the biggest in its class. at 15. 9 cubic feet. It's a cube larger than the trunk in the Accord. a half-cube shy of the one in the Sonata. and almost three cubic feet smaller than in the Impala. The seatback releases on most Passats are pull-type knobs mounted inside the trunk. where they seem to make better sense. One area that could use improvement is wind and road noise. The Passat's big cabin is louder than it needs to be; to be fair. the Sonata can present a fair amount of engine noise. but the Passat's wind ruffles over the mirrors. and over the B-pillar. of all places. stand out as unusual in the class. Acoustic glass might clean up the noise profile nicely. as it doesn't seem to emanate from the car's wheel wells or the trunk area. The Passat does well in crash testing. while its safety-feature set isn't quite on the cutting edge that many mid-size sedans have moved to. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) puts the Passat on its Top Safety Pick list. which means it achieves 'good' scores on all but the small front overlap test. The Passat gets an 'acceptable' rating on that one. keeping it from Top Safety Pick+ status. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gives the sedan an overall rating of five stars. with only a four-star rating for rollover resistance keeping it from a perfect score. (Most sedans are rated four stars in that mathematical test. ) Visibility is one of the Passat's strongest safety attributes. The large glass areas. fold-down rear headrests. and slim roof pillars give drivers a nearly panoramic view of the world around them. Standard equipment on all Passats. apart from the usual airbags and stability control. nbsp;includes a hill-holder function for manual-transmission models. and Bluetooth. which we consider a safety feature. A rearview camera is now standard on the Passat SE and higher trim levels. and optional on the Passat S and Wolfsburg models. The Passat still lacks the advanced tech features becoming more common on other family sedans--new assistants like front and rear parking sensors. and blind-spot monitors. A new service. Car-Net. offers emergency services like those on GM's OnStar system. with stolen-car tracking. speed limits. and remote unlocking. all accessible via a smartphone app. The U. S. -built. Americanized Passat bundles its features in with trim levels. This makes dealer inventory easier to track and makes prices more comparable to competitors. but it can be a pain if you want this feature from one trim and that one from another. Selecting a car can require compromise. just as it does with most of the competition from Japan. You'll notice this most in the base Passat S. which comes with the 1. 8-liter turbo engine and either a five-speed manual or a six-speed auto. It gets standard Bluetooth; an AM/FM/CD player; automatic headlights; 16-inch wheels; air conditioning; cruise control; and power windows. locks. and mirrors. A USB port. satellite radio. and non-cloth seats? They're not available on this model. which is priced right near the $21. 00 sweet spot of the mid-size sedan market. The Passat adds more features as it rolls through powertrain combinations and the SE and SEL trim levels--and VW has been adding some features back into the mix in these versions. For example. leather seating is now available on TDI models. There's also a special Wolfsburg Edition. sort of a value package in VW-speak. which bundles alloy wheels. heated front seats. a power driver seat. iPod connectivity. and satellite radio. For 2015. a new Technology package is offered on the S and Wolfsburg trims that combines a rearview camera. an eight-speaker premium audio system. and satellite radio. (The rearview camera is standard on SE and higher trim levels. ) Other options or features on upper trim levels include pushbutton start; woodgrain trim; ambient lighting; and 17-inch or 18-inch wheels. A Passat Sport model is available only with the 1. 8T and bundles mostly appearance items. such as 19-inch wheels. a rear spoiler. halogen headlights with corner illumination. and carbon-look interior trim. The TDI is available in variations of the SE and SEL trim levels. while the V-6 is either an SE or SEL Premium. On all Passats. an AM/FM/CD player is standard. The SE version adds a six-disc in-dash CD changer just when those changers themselves are being bypassed in favor of streaming audio in vehicles like the Ford Fusion and Hyundai Sonata. even the upcoming Toyota Camry. As an option. the Passat can be equipped with a five-inch LCD touchscreen that includes a navigation system with some confusing menu operations. but fairly clean map layouts. On the SEL. there's a 6. 5-inch LCD touchscreen with a 30GB hard drive for GPS maps and for music files. Neither of the VW navigation systems have the fluid map rescaling and routing of the latest systems from other manufacturers. One item the Passat is lacking is voice command control of systems like climate control and audio. which are available with Ford's SYNC. Kia's UVO. Hyundai's Blue Link and Toyota's Entune. But VW has added Car-Net. a new OnStar-style service that includes smartphone access for functions like crash notification. speed alerts. service reminders. and roadside assistance. The hardware is standard on all models except the Passat S. and includes six months of free service. VW's fast-pairing Bluetooth integration can throw new users for a loop. Most drivers are used to speaking a command or touching a screen to pair phones. On the Passat without navigation. the vehicle doesn't prompt you at all--you simply seek on your phone and connect with a blanket four-digit password. It's either fiendishly simple. or just fiendish. if you're used to driving the process with your voice or with a finger. Fortunately. you do it once and it's done. Having completely ditched some ancient powertrains from its past. the 2015 Volkswagen Passat new base 1. 8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine gets respectable fuel economy while also providing the torque needed for everyday driveability. It's rated at 28 mpg with either the manual or the automatic transmission--24 mpg city either way. and 35 or 36 mpg highway respectively. We can arrange shipping to any location in US and Canada.
