2018 Volkswagen Passat in Rochester Hills MI

Long Distance Driving or Daily Commuting: VW Passat is a Top Choice Near Detroit

With sophisticated European style and state-of-the-art German engineering, the Volkswagen Passat we have available here at Fox Volkswagen of Rochester Hills should be at the top of any Detroit area driver's list. It's a mid-sized sedan with roomy space for five people, and a trunk capable of accommodating a lot of cargo. But, it's so much more than that.

Trims & Performance

Drivers in Sterling Heights and Troy, MI who are considering the Passat sedan have a choice of six trim levels. There are also two available engines, and which one you get on your Volkswagen depends on the trim level you choose.

Trim options for the new Passat include:

When it comes to the power under the hood, most trims are equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that puts out 174 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque. However, there is a more-powerful V6 option available, for drivers who want a little more oomph. It's a 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower that is standard on the Passat GT and optional on the top trim, the SEL Premium.

Amenities & Safety Features

When it comes to the features drivers in Auburn Hills want, the Volkswagen Passat does not disappoint. Every model comes equipped with standard rearview camera, dual-zone automatic climate control, a touchscreen interface, Bluetooth, and a power-adjustable driver's seat.

Plus, there are a ton more safety and creature comfort features that are available as you move up trims or add on special packages. Some include:

• Sunroof
• Blind spot monitor
• Rear cross traffic alert
• Frontal collision warning with automatic emergency braking
• Parking sensors, on the front and back of the car
• Navigation system
• Smartphone integration, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto technology
• Automatic windshield wipers
• Lane departure warning
• Automated parallel parking assistance

All of these standard and available features make the Passat one of the safest and best equipped models on our Rochester Hills lot. But, don't take our word for it. Trust the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which gave the Passat a perfect score of "good" in all crash tests across the board, and the word of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which gave it a five-star grade in its testing.

Stylish & Spacious

Considered mid-sized, but with maximized interior space like a full-sized sedan, the new Volkswagen Passat will leave you, and your passengers, grateful for headroom and legroom that far outshine the competition. In fact, if you compare the Passat to two of its closest competitors, the Ford Fusion and the Mazda6, you will find that the Passat allows you more room to stretch your legs, especially in the backseat.

The Passat also allows for a ton of cargo space, thanks to its uniquely-shaped and roomy trunk. The Volkswagen sedan can hold 15.9 cubic feet of gear, which is made all the more useful thanks to a 60/40 split-folding backseat.
