Despite the fact that the Passat is one of the most popular vehicles in the Volkswagen stable, it had been a while before it has received any serious changes to its appearance. For that reason, it comes as no surprise that the German automaker made some tweaks to their best-selling midsize car for the 2016 model year. The changes are not significant, but they are enough to make an impact. If you were a fan of past models of the Passat, you’ll definitely appreciate all that the latest model has to offer.
