The 2020 Volkswagen Passat is more than just your traditional sedan. On top of giving you an efficient and comfortable ride around Fort Myers, Venice, and North Port, it also has a range of systems and features that make it the ultimate car for your daily commute.
Wonder how it compares to similar sedan models? Below, we at Norm Reeves Volkswagen Superstore Port Charlotte compare the Volkswagen Passat vs. the competition to detail what sets this model apart from the rest of the pack.
A Look at the Performance of the New Passat Plain and simple, the VW Passat is fun to drive. That is because it comes with the thrill of a turbocharged engine.

With all the power its engine pushes out, the VW Passat enjoys quick and fast performance. With its automatic transmission, you can also switch into Sport mode for a more exciting ride as it shifts through each gear.
Interior Space of the VW Passat vs Competition The Volkswagen Passat also provides a comfortable ride for you and your passengers. That starts with the cabin space you’ll get to enjoy inside the 2020 VW Passat. Among both rows of seating, there is 102 cubic feet of passenger volume.
That is more room than the 2020 Camry and 2020 Altima offer. The back row of the Volkswagen Passat is especially spacious. It gives rear-seat passengers 39.1 inches of legroom. That is much more room to spread out compared to the Sonata (34.8 inches), Camry (38 inches), and Altima (35.2 inches).
There is also a great deal of space inside the trunk of the 2020 Volkswagen Passat. Pack a variety of items in the trunk, since it offers 15.9 cubic feet of cargo volume. That is more trunk space than the Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima.
Premium Features Come Standard One great benefit of the 2020 Volkswagen Passat is all the features you’ll get to enjoy without having to upgrade. SiriusXM® radio is one of them. With this, you will get a great variety of radio stations that offer everything from commercial-free music to sports talk. Of the other models, only the 2020 Camry and Altima give this to you as a standard feature as well.
Each of these sedans come with some similar technologies that help keep you safe while driving. There are two systems though that are standard only in the Volkswagen Passat. They are Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Traffic Alert. These features are extremely helpful when you are trying to change lanes or back up out of your parking spot in a crowded lot.
While the Camry, Sonata, Altima, and Accord all are solid sedans, they don’t match up to the balance of space, performance, and standard features you’ll get with the 2020 Volkswagen Passat.
Now that you’ve seen the Volkswagen Passat vs. the competition, all that is left to do is to drive the VW Passat for yourself. Drivers in Fort Myers, Venice, and North Port can come explore our inventory of the Volkswagen Passat and take this well-rounded, fun-driving sedan out for a test drive here at Norm Reeves Volkswagen Superstore Port Charlotte.
