German carmakers are well known for their ingenuity and high-level engineering, always delivering high-quality machines that meet customer needs. The Volkswagen Company is no different, and its 2020 Volkswagen Passat has already received rave reviews from consumers. With an overall trend score of 7.4 out of 10, this sedan is among the best in its class. Decent Engine and Added Torque A 2.0-liter turbocharged standard 4-cylinder engine powers the new Passat. At 174 horsepower and a torque of 206 pounds per feet, the powertrain delivers slightly more power and torque than the 2019 variant and offers better acceleration stats. The current Engine also offers more rotations at 5200 RPM and boosts the acceleration time by extra seconds – 0-60 mph in 7 seconds. Advanced Safety Features The 2020 Volkswagen Passat comes equipped with a host of safety features that include rear door child safety lock, turn signal mirrors, engine immobilizer, Anti-theft system, Stability Control, a four-wheel Anti-Brake system, among others. The stability control is a particularly important feature. The new Passat's handling has been tailor-made for long stretches of straight road. more The handling makes the vehicle faster on highways, requiring stability control as vehicles tend to lose balance when they hit the top speeds. The ABS also helps in this regard and helps to keep the vehicle quite safe and crash-free. All-Wheel-Drive The new Passat has a drive train that allows for the transmission of power to all the vehicle's four wheels. This is a nifty feature considering that most sedans are generally two-wheel-drive vehicles. Most manufacturers prefer to include a 4-wheel drive train in their SUV and high-end brands rather than the more subtle family-sized sedans. The four-wheel-drive makes the 2020 Passat even more power-efficient and gives it an edge over other sedans in the market. Top-of-the-Line Fuel Economy The Passat has a pretty decent fuel economy for a car its size. One feels that the standard direct-injection technology on an equally standard 2.0-liter I4 engine does not have a lot to offer in terms of fuel economy, but this Passat surpasses expectations.

The new 2021 Volkswagen Atlas has undergone a major redesign, and it is now significantly different from its predecessor in some very important ways. Here are some of the most notable features of the facelift that you might be interested in. 1. All-Wheel Drive All-wheel drive was previously only available with the V-6 model. But you can now get it with the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that comes standard with the 2021 Atlas, as well as the 3.6-liter V-6 upgraded engine. 2. Longer Exterior Both the front and rear bumpers have completely new shapes, and they give the new model a very dashing profile.  They've also added almost 3 inches to the exterior of the vehicle, which is just enough to improve its profile impressively, without making it any more difficult to drive. more 3. Flashier Front End The new 3-bar grille in front of the 2021 Atlas is far more attractive than the 2020 model. The appearance is now very close to the Cross Sport's, except for the lower air intakes, which are not quite the same. Also, not only are the new headlights aggressively more angular but LED elements are now standard. Plus, there are now chrome lines spanning the entire width between them, adding a big dose of flash. 4. Updated Car-Net App New this year for the Atlas is the most up-to-date version of the VW's amazing mobile app. One of the most astounding things you can do with it is set alerts for when the vehicle exceeds specific speed limits or travels outside set boundaries, which allows owners to monitor other people (such as their kids) driving the vehicle from the comfort of their homes on their phones. But they can also use their phone to: Remote start vehicles Lock and unlock the doors View location of the vehicle Honk the horn Receive maintenance and vehicle-health remotes 5. Upgraded Interior The seats have updated stitching, and there's a whole new steering wheel that features Volkswagen's brand new logo, for a much more luxurious feel. 6. New Advanced Safety Features While not standard, there are new driver-assist features that are available as options. They include: Road sign display – displays school zones, speed limits, etc. on the dashboard Traffic jam-assist – keeps the car in the center of its lane when traveling less than 37 miles per hour 7. An 8-Inch Touchscreen This is a beautiful upgrade over the 6.5-inch touchscreen that is standard in the basic model. But it is only available on the SE and SEL models. 8. R-Line Package Of all the trim levels, the lower grille's large air intakes on this option gives the 2021 Atlas a unique sporty look. But you also get a glossy black rear diffuser, stylized R badges, and enormous machine-faced 21-inch wheels. All of the exciting new features on the new 2021 Atlas really need to be seen in person to appreciate what a major difference they make.
