Review: The Improved 2020 Volkswagen Passat Is a Missed Opportunity

When Volkswagen decided to launch the significantly updated 2020 Passat near some of Southern California’s legendary driving roads, it raised a few eyebrows (both of mine). The Passat is no longer our first choice for a midsize sedan we’d hoon up a world-class road like Angeles Crest, but could this midcycle refresh change that?

The U.S.-spec 2020 Passat still rides on an old platform—unlike the Passats for the Chinese and European markets, which are now built on VW’s much newer MQB architecture that underpins the Golf (a MotorTrend favorite). So even though the Passat is refreshed for 2020, the body-in-white is essentially the same as the car that took home our Car of the Year honors in 2012. VW says this is to keep costs down because sedan sales are on the decline in the U.S., but as a result the Passat is hindered from start to finish.

For 2020, the bodywork is now a bit swoopier, with a reworked front-end design, new LED headlights, a fresh grille that ties it to the current Jetta, and a sculpted rear that makes the Passat a more handsome machine than before. The 2.0-liter turbo-four makes the same 174 hp but is up to 206 lb-ft of torque, and the six-speed automatic gets a new torque converter. Inside, the changes are even more subtle. But they shouldn’t have been. The gauge cluster in the U.S.-spec Passat hosts a teeny color display between an analog tach and speedometer—had VW made the move to the MQB platform, the Passat could have come with Volkswagen’s state-of-the-art fully digital instrument cluster, like in the Tiguan, but the sedan’s older platform won’t allow for it. The climate controls remain unchanged, as does the center console. Volkswagen did make blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic LED headlights features standard across all trim levels, however.

The 2020 Passat’s dashboard has been adapted to include some Arteon-esque air vents, and the infotainment display is new. At just 6.3 inches, the touchscreen is small for the segment—European Passats can be upgraded to an 8.0-inch display, something that isn’t possible in the North American car thanks to its dated platform. Desirable optional gear includes a Fender audio system, adaptive cruise control (standard on three of four trims), heated front and rear seats, and dual-zone climate control (also standard on three of four trims).

Unfortunately, a slightly modernized interior and extra niceties can’t hide the car’s obvious age inside. The dashboard and center console, though clean and easy to use, look positively spartan when compared to others in the segment. But how does the old sedan stack up on the road?

Realizing that the Passat might need some extra sportiness for our drive ahead, I jumped into a 2020 Passat R-Line. The R-Line adds slightly different front and rear bumpers, steering wheel–mounted paddle shifters, and stickier Falken rubber wrapped around R-Line-exclusive 19-inch wheels.

The new tires represent one of the biggest dynamic differences between this newish 2020 Passat and the old one. Whereas the last R-Line came with bigger wheels but tires that were no more grippy, the Falkens were much more up to the task of hustling the sedan up a twisty mountain road. Thanks to the paddles on the wheel, it was easy to stay in the desired gear, but the transmission regularly ignored me when I asked for a downshift. The steering is light yet accurate, but the brakes have almost no feel, and a dead spot at the top of the pedal’s travel makes coming to a well-judged stop extremely difficult.

Once we dropped out of the twisty roads above Los Angeles and onto its aging freeways, the old Passat came good. The 405 freeway’s pavement is notoriously noisy and craggy, but the Passat—even on its 19-inch alloys—soaked up the lumps and bumps with ease. It was quiet at speed, allowing so little wind and tire noise into the cabin that even whisper-volume conversations were audible. No squeaks or errant rattles made their way into the cabin as we thumped it over bumps and expansion joints. The Passat was easily as comfortable as its big brother, the Arteon, but with better body control over large undulations. The long and straight journey down the 405 suit the Passat. Fitting, as the U.S.-spec Passat has been built specifically for the American market since 2012, and long, straight journeys abound in the lower 48. I just can’t help but wonder how much better the Passat could have been when the going gets twisty if it were built on MQB. In the midsize sedan class, you can have your cake and eat it, too: the Accord, a two-time comparison winner, expertly handles the practical matters that matter to families while also being better to drive.

That said, the refreshed Passat is still spacious, quiet, and comfortable. It’s not going to set your hair on fire or inspire you to push for that next apex. What it should do is offer the same kinds of features as the Altima and Optima, but the omission of a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, a decently sized infotainment screen, and a surround-view camera system makes it less appealing. The 2020 Passat starts at $23,915, undercutting most of its competitors in base price—and it also boasts a four-year/50,000-mile basic warranty with two years/20,000 miles of free maintenance. Even so, the Passat doesn’t have enough optional cabin tech to satisfy those who appreciate such niceties, and it still isn’t as nimble as the class-leading Accord. A more feature-laden Passat with modern underpinnings does exist, just not in the U.S., and that’s what frustrates us about the U.S.-spec 2020 Passat. If you must have a roomy, comfortable, well-priced German sedan in your driveway and don’t mind skipping out on features many competitors offer, the Passat could have a home on your short list. Otherwise, consider a lower-trim Arteon, another midsize sedan, or wait a few years for the hoped-for full redesign of the Passat.

The Government Shutdown Might Delay These New Vehicles

As President Trump and Congress feud over the government shutdown, regulatory agencies that test and approve vehicles for sale in the U.S. remain closed. That could impact the launch dates for several much-anticipated vehicles slated for launch in the next several months. This buzzkill is in contrast to the acres of shiny new vehicles unveiled at the 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, which is open to the public from January 19–27. What’s more, automakers are gearing up for next month’s Chicago show that bills itself as the largest consumer show in America.

Before a new (or significantly reengineered) car can go on sale, it must be certified by the federal government. Under the Clean Air Act, this is the responsibility of the Environmental Protection Agency; the National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor does the verification. But the lab is among the agencies not being funded during the shutdown, which began on December 22 and has now stretched nearly a month. On the bright side, many new vehicles awaiting certification are not slated to go on sale until spring and the majority are fall launches, so while automakers will grown increasingly concerned if the shutdown continues for too long, in most cases there is still time before panic sets in.

The unease is a bit stronger for diesel-powered vehicles. The emissions-reporting scandal is still fresh in American minds, and many automakers have canceled or significantly reduced their plans to offer diesel-fueled vehicles in the U.S.—the exception being large pickups that remain huge profit-makers for Detroit. Indeed, some diesel-powered vehicles have faced long wait times for certification even prior to the shutdown as federal agencies have been more meticulous in the wake of the cheating scandal.

Below we’ve gathered a list of the vehicles that the shutdown could affect; read on for more information on their statuses.

Ram

When the shutdown hit, the EPA had completed the federal emission testing and certified the 2019 Ram 2500 heavy-duty pickup, but had not finished testing tailpipe emissions for the Cummins diesel version of the 3500. That process is on hold, FCA CEO Mike Manley confirmed at the auto show. Both trucks are scheduled to go on sale this spring. The automaker says other vehicles are undergoing their normal quality validation testing and no shipments are not being delayed at this time. That includes the 2019 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel that is still in the certification process.

Jeep

A diesel-powered Grand Cherokee variant is still in line awaiting its turn for certification. The new Jeep Gladiator midsize pickup is not due until spring, so there is no impact yet to that highly anticipated model.

Volkswagen

Volkswagen will show the new Jetta GLI (a standard 2019 Jetta is pictured) next month at the Chicago Auto Show. It is slated to launch in March. Executives think the launch will remain on schedule—if be a bit tight—if federal employees return to work by the end of January, but a delay for the car looms.

Ford

Ford has a lot of vehicles (GT500, Explorer, Escape, and Lincoln Aviator) slated to go on sale this year, and many of them are in the queue for certification. Nothing is due in the next few months so no delays at this time. But if the shutdown is prolonged, there will be concerns. The 2020 Ford Explorer is due in June, while the Aviator also goes on sale this summer. The GT500 is not due until fall. We have not yet seen the new Escape yet, so it likely has more time.

Cadillac

Cadillac’s big XT6 crossover is due this spring so there is still time before it feels any impact as long as the backlog does not become onerous. GM officials say they have no launch delays at this time but, like other automakers, are currently awaiting decisions in the certification process for a number of 2019 and 2020 models.

Porsche

There is some concern that the mid-cycle refresh of the volume-leading Macan could be delayed, as it is slated to go on sale in March. Same applies to the Cayenne hybrid. The next-generation 911 isn’t coming to the U.S. until July or August, so there should be plenty of time for testing to be conducted.

Kia

Kia’s new Telluride three-row crossover goes on sale this spring but no reports of delays at this time.

Hyundai

The three-row 2020 Hyundai Palisade CUV will be available this summer. At this point, officials say no Hyundai model is on hold awaiting EPA certification due to the shutdown.

Honda

Nothing from Honda is being impacted. The new Passport goes on sale next month but is already certified.

The Cars the Government Shutdown Might Delay

As President Trump and Congress feud over the government shutdown, regulatory agencies that test and approve vehicles for sale in the U.S. remain closed. That could impact the launch dates for several much-anticipated vehicles slated for launch in the next several months.

This buzz-kill is in contrast to the public reaction to acres of shiny new vehicles unveiled at media days for the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. What’s more, automakers are gearing up for next month’s Chicago show that bills itself as the largest consumer show in America.

Before a new (or significantly re-engineered) car can go on sale, it must be certified by the federal government.

Concern is a bit higher for diesel-powered vehicles. The emissions reporting scandal is still fresh in American minds, and many automakers have canceled or whittled down their plans to offer diesel-fuelled vehicles in the U.S.—the exception being large pickups that are huge profit-makers for Detroit.

2019 Volkswagen Passat

New Post has been published on https://addmunds.com/2019-volkswagen-passat/

2019 Volkswagen Passat

The 2018 Chicago Auto Show brought us the North American reveal of the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon. After the reveal, Hinrich Woebcken, CEO of Volkswagen Group’s North American area, spoke to a roundtable of journalists about the German automaker’s future, including the next-generation Volkswagen Passat in 2019. Expect to see it together with a new SUV as part of VW’s strategy to bring 2 new cars to the market every year.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

The 2019 Volkswagen Passat is part of the automaker’s major Transform 2025+ method, which includes more than 50 vehicles presently in advancement and more than ten new models getting here globally every year until 2020. For the American market alone, VW prepares to go for least 2 new models each year.

2019 Volkswagen Passat Design

The Volkswagen Passat is due for its next full redesign sometime in 2019. Although no main details has actually been released, the car will most likely be constructed on the automaker’s MQB modular platform that now underpins multiple models in the VW and Audi lineups.

The existing generation Passat has actually been on sale given that 2011 when it debuted for the 2012 model year, embracing a bigger, more roomy design in order to interest American consumers. The car was likewise priced more economically than its predecessor thanks to an approximately $6,600 rate advantage that brought the car into the near-$ 20,000 range. Given that its launching, the Passat has gone through a number of incremental changes.

2019 Volkswagen Passat Engine

Powertrain details are still unidentified, however VW has actually mentioned that it plans to back off greatly in the U.S. marketing of its “tidy diesel” technology in the wake of a major emissions scandal discovered in 2015. In the existing Passat, shoppers get a choice in between a 1.8-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine making 170 hp with 184 lb-ft of torque, and a more effective 3.6-liter V6 making 280 hp with 258 lb-ft.

At first, the car was offered with a base 2.5-liter engine, however this was phased out mid-year with the 2014 Passat. By 2015, all traces of the 2.5-liter mill were gone with the model, due in part to the turbo’s equivalent power and enhanced torque (177 vs. 184 lb-ft) and 2 mpg fuel economy benefit.

2019 Volkswagen Passat Features

By 2016, more advanced connectivity was included with the addition of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. For 2017, the Passat will get frontal accident mitigation with automatic emergency braking as basic throughout all trim levels in addition to a variety of cost cuts on select versions.

2019 Volkswagen Passat Release Date

Volkswagen has not yet revealed an official release date for the 2019 Volkswagen Passat. At this time, the upgraded car is expected to debut sometime in 2018 either for the 2018 or 2019 model years. In other places in its lineup, the automaker is anticipated to begin selling its next generation Jetta.

Volkswagen E-Golf 2020 Exterior, Price, Release Date, Interior

The Cars the Government Shutdown Might Delay

As President Trump and Congress feud over the government shutdown, regulatory agencies that test and approve vehicles for sale in the U.S. remain closed. That could impact the launch dates for several much-anticipated vehicles slated for launch in the next several months.

This buzz-kill is in contrast to the public reaction to acres of shiny new vehicles unveiled at media days for the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. What’s more, automakers are gearing up for next month’s Chicago show that bills itself as the largest consumer show in America.

Before a new (or significantly re-engineered) car can go on sale, it must be certified by the federal government. Under the Clean Air Act it is the responsibility of the Environmental Protection Agency. The National Vehicle and Fuel Emissions Laboratory in Ann Arbor does the verification. But the lab is among the agencies not being funded during the month-long shutdown.

On the bright side, many new vehicles are not slated to go on sale until spring, and the majority are fall launches. While automakers are concerned if the shutdown goes too long, in most cases there is still time before panic sets in.

Concern is a bit higher for diesel-powered vehicles. The emissions reporting scandal is still fresh in American minds, and many automakers have canceled or whittled down their plans to offer diesel-fuelled vehicles in the U.S.—the exception being large pickups that are huge profit-makers for Detroit. Some diesel-powered vehicles have faced long wait times for certification as federal agencies have been more meticulous in the wake of the cheating scandal.

Keep reading to find out where the new vehicle launches stand at nine automotive brands.

Ram

The EPA completed the federal emission testing and certified the 2019 Ram 2500 heavy-duty pickup—but had not finished testing tailpipe emissions for the Cummins diesel version of the Ram 3500 when the shutdown hit. That process is on hold, FCA CEO Mike Manley confirmed at the auto show. Both trucks are scheduled to go on sale this spring. The automaker says other vehicles are undergoing their normal quality validation testing and no shipments are not being delayed at this time. That includes the 2019 Ram 1500 with a diesel, that is still in the certification process.

Jeep

A Grand Cherokee with a diesel is still in the lineup awaiting its turn for certification.The new Jeep Gladiator midsize pickup is not due until spring so there is no impact yet.

Volkswagen

Volkswagen will show the new Jetta GLI (a standard 2019 Jetta is pictured) next month at the Chicago Auto Show. It is slated to launch in March. Executives think the launch will be OK if federal employees get back to work by the end of January, but it will be tight.

Ford

Ford has a lot of vehicles (GT500, Explorer, Escape, and Lincoln Aviator) slated to go on sale this year, and many of them are in the queue for certification. Nothing is due in the next few months so no delays at this time. But if the shutdown is prolonged, there will be concerns.

The 2020 Ford Explorer is due in June and the Aviator also goes on sale this summer. The GT500 is not due until fall. We have not yet seen the new Escape yet so it likely has more time.

Cadillac

Cadillac’s big XT6 crossover is due this spring so there is still time before it feels any impact as long as the backlog does not become onerous. GM officials say they have no launch delays at this time but, like other automakers, are currently awaiting decisions in the certification process for a number of 2019 and 2020 models.

Porsche

There is some concern that the mid-cycle refresh of the volume-leading Macan could be delayed, as it is slated to go on sale in March. Same applies to the Cayenne Hybrid. The next-generation 911 isn’t coming to the U.S. until July or August so there should be plenty of time to get tested under the wire.

Kia

Kia’s new Telluride three-row crossover goes on sale this spring but no reports of delays at this time.

Hyundai

Hyundai’s new Palisade three-row crossover will be available this summer. At this point, officials say no Hyundai model is on hold awaiting EPA certification due to the shutdown.

Honda

Nothing from Honda is being impacted. The new Passport crossover goes on sale next month but is already certified.
