Power & Performance
The 2019 VW Passat comes equipped with a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that’s both turbocharged and intercooled. This helps the vehicle during peak performance by ensuring that the engine remains cool despite the performance pushing further. The engine can produce 174 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque.
The engine comes mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic® and Sport Mode, which gives the driver more control over the performance of their vehicle. The engine also includes an 18.5-gallon fuel tank, which is larger than most fuel tanks in the sedan class.
Design and Style
Exterior
The 2019 VW Passat was designed with families and convenience in mind. The exterior looks sleek and stylish without compromising durability, all thanks to the safety cage. The rigid safety cage is made up of front and rear crumple zones which absorb crash energy and deflect it from the passengers inside.
The available LED headlights with LED Daytime Running Lights aren’t just trendy, but they also provide excellent visibility for driving at night or in the dark. The available Hands-Free Easy Open trunk makes loading and unloading cargo easy—you can simply open your trunk with a swipe of your foot.
Interior
The available V-Tex leatherette seating surfaces are comfortable and easy to clean while still managing to look modern and chic. The 8-way power adjustable driver’s seat allows you to customize your seating position to achieve your ultimate seating comfort for the trip. Everyone is able to be comfortable in the interior cabin thanks to the available Climatronic® dual-zone automatic climate control which allows passengers to choose their ideal temperature.
