Volkswagen Passat history and evolution
In 1973, the Volkswagen Passat first launched in Europe as a family-sized hatchback. First-generation models, from 1973 to 1980, were sold under the VW Dasher nameplate in North America. Second-generation vehicles, made from 1981 to 1988, were called the Volkswagen Quantum. The VW Passat name finally arrived in North America in 1990. In 2011, Volkswagen decided to begin producing the Volkswagen Passat in the United States, creating a more spacious version of their best-selling car. North American models from 2012 to 2022 offer increased passenger and trunk space compared to their European counterparts. 2022 marks the final year for the Volkswagen Passat in North America. For the Canadian market, the 2022 model is only available for fleet sales and will not be sold through VW showrooms.
Volkswagen Passat features to look for
All models of the Volkswagen Passat produced from 2012 to 2022 are fairly similar style-wise, though there was a slight redesign in 2016. As with most vehicles, newer models offer more up-to-date tech and safety features. The 2021 Volkswagen Passat comes in three trim levels: S, SE and R-Line. All models are equipped with a 174-horsepower turbocharged engine, front-wheel drive and six-speed automatic transmission. 2021 Volkswagen Passat SE models offer a nice variety of features, including heated front seats, remote start and a sunroof. Standard advanced safety technologies include adaptive cruise control, blindspot monitoring and forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking.
