The 2018 VW Passat is perfect for families because it offers one of the largest back seats in the midsize-sedan class and a spacious 15.9-cubic-foot trunk. It’s also available with long list of active and passive safety systems, and it’s rated a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
If you’re looking for an all-wheel-drive midsize sedan, look elsewhere; all 2018 VW Passats are front-wheel drive. In this class only the Ford Fusion and Subaru Legacy offer AWD. Also, VW does not offer a Passat hybrid. For an electrified midsize, shop the Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Ford Fusion.
