Space to Stretch Out
The 2022 VW Passat is one stylish and spacious midsize sedan. It’s designed to keep everyone comfortable and give you plenty of room to stretch out and relax. That starts with contoured seats and an 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat.
On top of offering lots of settings, the interior also includes heated front seats and Climatronic® dual-zone automatic climate control. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob come standard while leather seats are also available.
No matter what colors or amenities you’re interested in, the VW Passat offers an open feel. Whether you’ve got the power sunroof open or closed, the cabin always feels spacious. Plus, the trunk also gives you room for all your bags.

Driver-Assist Technology
The VW Passat also gives you peace of mind with a structurally sound design and lots of advanced safety features. It starts with a strong safety cage. The front and rear crumple zones can absorb energy and direct it away from the cabin during a collision.
Inside, you’ll be protected by six airbags, including Side Curtain Protection® airbags that cover both rows of seats. Everyone will be strapped in properly as well thanks to Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) and front seatbelt pretensioners.
To help prevent accidents, the VW Passat is equipped with some smart driver-assistance features. For example, the Rear View Camera System lets you use the dashboard monitor to get a better look at what’s behind you when you’re backing up. Some of the features that’ll look out for you while you drive include:
- Active Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Traffic Alert
- Front Assist
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Lane Assist
Performance
So, what does this safe and spacious sedan have under the hood? The VW Passat provides you with a smooth ride and a sporty performance. It runs on a 2.0L 4-cylinder TSI® turbocharged engine that gets up to 174 horsepower and 206 lb-ft of toque.
To manage your drive, the VW Passat features a 6-speed automatic transmission. You can also take control of your drive with Sport Mode and Tiptronic®. This lets you shift manually without having to worry about a physical clutch.
Front-wheel drive is standard on the VW Passat, but you’ll still have traction on slick roads with standard Electronic Stability Control.
