Leasing Special

While the Passat goes up against the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry, it feels larger than those two family sedans, particularly from the extra-spacious rear seat. Unfortunately, it also drives like a larger car, with uninspired handling and mediocre acceleration. Refreshed styling for 2020 gives the staid Passat a visual freshening but compared with its rivals it’s still the grown-up of the group.
