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.
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.
