Overview 

The 2022 Volkswagen Passat isn’t as exciting as the more elegant and sporty family sedans’ it competes with. Although the interior is simple, it is well-designed and furnished with attractive materials. At the same time, comfortable riding takes priority over performance. Automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control are standard on all trims. VW also features a system that holds the brakes in the event of accidents, protecting the Passat from rolling into even more damage.

The cabin of the Passat is also quite spacious, especially in the back seat. It is combined with a slew of standard driving aids like automated emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring, making it an excellent option for families. Volkswagen provides a vehicle as comfortable as possible by blending a gentle, luxurious ride with reliable handling. The steering is precise and well-weighted, although it lacks the feedback we desire, as do many others in the class.

Engine, Transmission, and Fuel Efficiency

2022 Volkswagen Passat 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine produces 174 horsepower and 206 pound-feet of torque, and it’s mated to a 6-speed automated transmission that sends power to the front wheels. It offers a vehicle as comfortable as it is capable by combining a soft, even luxurious ride with reliable handling. The EPA fuel efficiency of the Passat’s turbocharged four-cylinder engine is average among family sedans, and many competitors offer more fuel-efficient models and hybrid choices. The VW’s estimations of 24 mpg city and 36 mpg highway are lower than the four-cylinder Toyota Camry’s.

2022 Volkswagen Passat Interior

What is the seating capacity?

It offers enough space for five adult passengers. Front-seat passengers are provided with comfortable thrones covered in synthetic or genuine leather. With an above-average 39″ of legroom in the backseat, passengers can stretch out. However, the cabin is a smidgeon small, making three abreast in row two a tight fit.

Interior Quality

The interior of the Passat is attractive in a German, practical manner, but it lacks true inspiration to earn our entire satisfaction. The Passat has good outward visibility because of its open cabin and thin door pillars.

Cargo Space

The cargo capacity of family vehicles is very consistent. It can fit 16 carry-on-sized bags behind the front seats when the seats are lowered to their not-quite-flat resting position. Because Volkswagen compromised some trunk space for the Passat’s huge back seat, the Passat slid to the bottom of the family-sedan pack in terms of real-world carrying capacity.

Infotainment, Bluetooth, and Navigation

The standard infotainment system includes an Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, a 6.3-inch touchscreen with a three-month subscription to SiriusXM satellite radio, and several USB ports. Navigation, a premium sound system, a larger 8.0-inch display, and a five subscription to VW’s Car-Net services are included in the top model. Users may use their smartphone to find the vehicle, call for roadside assistance, and even lock and unlock the doors.

Should I Buy a 2022 Volkswagen Passat?

Yes, due to its position in the Volkswagen sedan lineup and the features it delivers, the Passat has been one of the most preferred Volkswagen sedans around the world. The 2022 Volkswagen Passat stands between the Jetta (an economical midsize sedan) and the Arteon (a luxury midsize sedan) (a premium midsize sedan). As a result, it combines the benefits of both worlds. It offers many creature luxuries and driving experiences that a premium sedan offers at a reasonable price.
