Sales of VW sedans have tanked in recent years, while sales of VW SUVs are booming. This was initially an American trend, which may explain why the American Passat was phased out first. But the preference for VW SUVs could be global, since it was also discontinued in Europe only a year later.

According to repairpal.com, the Volkswagen Passat has a reliability rating of 4.0/5.0, which places it about average for other similar vehicles. Still, some critical issues appear often. You should be aware of these as a potential owner.

Pricing for the 2024 Volkswagen Passat Life starts at €38,480 on the road, including tax, which is equal to $48,959 at today's exchange rates. This makes it just €1,725 ($2,195) more affordable than the BMW 3 Series Sedan, which is a premium model. The 3er Touring comes from €42,395 ($53,940).

The launch of the new Passat Estate will be a peek into the future of driving and is expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2024. Come To Southern Team Volkswagen To Test-Drive A New Volkswagen Vehicle Today! Are you excited about getting a new car?
