The 2016 Volkswagen Passat earned its place at the top due to its smooth ride and quiet cabin, fun and reliably driving dynamics, and impressive tech and connectivity offerings. One aspect that really set it apart from the crowd, however, is the standard offering of Volkswagen’s collision-avoidance system with emergency braking. This feature is often relegated to expensive bundles or available as an add-on, but at a premium; with the 2016 Volkswagen Passat, you get peace of mind standard.
“We are thrilled for the Passat to be named Best Midsize Sedan by Cars.com against such formidable competition. The Passat offers the perfect combination of sophisticated styling, outstanding App-Connect technology, and the great driving dynamics that Volkswagen is known for, making it an outstanding consumer value.” –Hinrich J. Woebcken, President & CEO, Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.
“The Passat came in first place with both our expert judges and in-market shoppers. This midsize sedan is a refreshed version of the Passat that won Cars.com’s Best of 2012 award; it’s still tremendously roomy and for 2016 got a ton of tech upgrades like Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration. In addition to the roominess, tech and safety, the standout feature of the Passat is its driving ability. Everyone who drove it unanimously agreed, the Passat is plain old fun to drive.” –Patrick Olsen, Cars.com’s editor-in-chief
