When we set out to build the Passat, we had one thing in mind: everything. That attention to detail has led to praise by our drivers, critics, and even the automotive press. Check out some of our awards and accolades bestowed on us by those that know us best.
A Consumers Digest Best Buy
Great cargo space, an impressive ride, and a well-designed interior — just a few of the reasons Consumers Digest gave the 2013 Volkswagen Passat a Best Buy award. Proof that German engineering is worth every penny.
Ranked #1 in Midsize Sedan Comparison
The Volkswagen Passat just topped the list of midsize sedans according to Motor Trend's comparison of the top sellers in the category. Which means not only do our drivers love the Passat, but it seems that the critics do too. This might be cause for a victory lap.
Fuel Efficient
Six cars. Three different routes. One fantastic story. The Passat TDI® full-size sedan bested the competition in Edmunds.com 40-MPG Challenge.2 Going up against nothing but compact cars or smaller, the Passat TDI still managed to get the most by using the least. In more ways than one, it was no contest.
5-Star Safety Rating
It's a safe bet to say that the 2012 Passat is as safe as it gets. It earned a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
