This Year's Model Updates:
A more fuel-efficient 1.8-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine replaces the 2.5-liter five-cylinder on the 2014 Volkswagen Passat SEL model and will gradually be phased in on other trim levels. VW's Car-Net telematics interface also debuts this year, and most trims, including this year's new Sport trim level, now have a standard rearview camera.
Pros:
- Refined and quiet ride
- Strong V6
- Fuel-efficient diesel engine
- High-quality cabin with above-average passenger and cargo space
- Top safety scores.
Cons:
- Below-average acceleration with 2.5 and TDI engines
- Touchscreen electronics interface in SEL models is slow to respond.
