2021 Volkswagen Passat Review
To help drivers in Toms River, Brick, and Freehold, NJ, decide whether or not it’s the right car for you, Toms River VW looks at everything it has to offer in this 2021 VW Passat review.
VW Passat Performance
Whether you’re taking your family on a trip, running errands, or heading home from work, you’ll love how much ground the VW Passat can cover on a single tank of a gas. It gets up to an EPA-estimated 24 city/36 highway MPG. With that kind of fuel economy and an 18.5-gallon gas tank, it’ll help you make fewer pitstops at the pump.
On top of offering an efficient drive, the VW Passat also packs some power under the hood. It runs on a turbocharged 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that gets up to 174 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of torque. While this works with a 6-speed automatic transmission, you’ll have the option to take control of your drive with Tiptronic® paddle shifters that let you shift manually without a physical clutch.
VW Passat Interior
It’s easy to get comfortable inside the 2021 VW Passat. There’s seating for five and 102 cubic feet of passenger space. That includes enough room for taller drivers, too. The front features 38.3 inches of headroom and 42.4 inches of legroom. Passengers in the back will also have plenty of room to stretch out with 37.8 inches of headroom and 39.1 inches of legroom.
In addition to offering lots of space, the VW Passat also offers some relaxing amenities. For example, Climatronic® dual-zone climate control makes it easy for everyone to enjoy the perfect temperature, while a power sunroof can fill the cabin with natural light and fresh air.
Whether you’re enjoying a summer drive, or you’ve got the heat cranked up, you’ll be able to listen to your favorite music while you drive, too. The dashboard comes with a touchscreen that includes lots of smartphone compatibility. You can stream music and stay connected with the following features:
- Bluetooth®
- Apple CarPlay®
- Android Auto™
VW Passat Safety Features
The 2021 VW Passat also offers peace of mind. It’s built with a solid safety cage that includes front and rear energy absorbing crumple zones. Inside, you’ll be protected by six airbags, including side curtain airbags that cover both rows of seats.
To help prevent accidents, the VW Passat also offers intelligent driver-assistance features. You’ll have more awareness while you drive, thanks to the following technology:
- Blind Spot Monitor
- Front Assist
- Lane Assist
- Rear Traffic Alert
There’s even safety technology there to look out after you’ve been in an accident. For example, the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System helps bring your car to a complete stop, while the Intelligent Crash Response System will automatically activate the hazard lights and unlock the doors for you.
