Passat is a midsize sedan that is designed for the American lifestyle and assembled in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It features a winning combination of sophisticated design, advanced driver-focused technology and road-holding feel that makes the Passat unique among American mid-size sedans. The 2018 Passat is offered with an automatic transmission in six trims—S, R-Line®, SE, SE with Technology, GT, and SEL Premium. Replacing the previous 1.8-liter four-cylinder TSI engine, the Passat’s new base powertrain features the most advanced 2.0-liter four-cylinder TSI unit ever sold by Volkswagen. The 2018 Passat remains a generously-proportioned four-door sedan. Nose to tail, it measures 191.9 inches and features a stretched 110.4-inch wheelbase and 72.2-inch width, which allows for an exceptional 39.1 inches of rear-seat legroom.
