When the Volkswagen Passat first appeared in 1973, It offered sedan buyers a unique mix of luxury and value in a distinctly German-flavored wrapper. Since then, the Passat has slowly evolved over the years and the 2013 Passat promises to continue this long tradition.
Redesigned last year, the five passenger 2013 Volkswagen Passat competes with rivals such as the Honda Accord, Kia Optima and Toyota Camry in the heated large family sedan segment. While the Passat's rather conservative exterior styling may not be as visually exciting as some competitors, its wide range of powertrains, features and pricing make up for this deficit and should appeal to a wide range of consumer tastes.
