2021 Volkswagen Passat SE

The 2021 Passat is Volkswagen's mid-size sedan, a roomy, straightforward alternative to the Accord and Camry. It's tuned for comfort rather than sport, so the ride stays smooth and the steering is light around town. The cabin is genuinely spacious, with a big back seat and a trunk that swallows luggage easily. Owners like the comfortable seats and roomy interior, and they report few problems in the first years of ownership. The SE sits between the base S and the sporty R Line, adding key convenience features like keyless access and dual-zone climate control. Its 2.0L I4 makes 174 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, giving you smooth, predictable acceleration and 28 mpg combined.
