2021 Volkswagen Passat Review

2021 VW Passat Interior: Boundless Comfort

Could the Volkswagen Passat be any more comfortable? We’ll leave that for you to decide as you slide inside this spacious sedan. Even rear passengers will enjoy 39.1 inches of legroom—an amazing total in the midsize class.

Coziness extends far beyond legroom, though. In the summer heat or wintry chill, keep your car temperature on an even keel with optional Climatronic® dual-zone automatic climate control. Driver and front passenger each have their own climate zone!

Glare from headlamps or a sun hanging low in the sky can easily cause headaches, especially after a long day at work. Luckily, an available auto-dimming rearview mirror should reduce the dazzle factor during your drive.

Performance: Finally, a Sedan That’s Fun to Drive

Get ready for the vroom-vroom with turbo power under the hood! As cooled air is forced directly into the 2.0L TSI® 4-cylinder engine, you’ll experience an impressively potent performance—206 lb-ft of torque means easy acceleration!

For all that fun, you won’t pay a price at the gas station. The 2021 VW Passat earns an EPA-estimated 24 city/36 highway MPG at its most efficient.* A fuel-sipping sedan like this simplifies every commute and road trip.

Wrap your palms around a leather-wrapped steering wheel! Its available track-inspired paddle shifters put quick-shifting capability into your hands for the road ahead.

Core Safety in Your 2021 Volkswagen Passat

You never know what you may encounter on the road next. The 2021 Volkswagen Passat prepares you for whatever may come your way with driver assistance and smart safety features. So, what will you find in your VW sedan?

• Blind Spot Monitor | Standard
• Front Assist | Standard

Front Assist includes Forward Collision Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking. These features work together to warn you when front-end collisions could be imminent and help apply the brakes if needed.

If an accident does occur, a standard Automatic Post-Collision Braking System may jump into action. It can help slow the vehicle down after an accident if the collision doesn’t bring your VW Passat to a stop.
