Some years ago I had a chance to be at a VW drive event. The event took place at Volkswagen\u2019s headquarters in Northern Virginia. At the event, I got to drive the latest edition of the Jetta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really loved the cockpit, the integrated technology, and especially the new design. So, getting a week in the all-new Passat was a thrill to me. The all-new Passat builds on the design of the Jetta but it’s in a larger form factor and, more muscular. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This brings a better appreciation of the design inspiration. I got a chance to drive the 2.0.T SE. It features a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 174 horsepower and 206 lb.-ft of torque. It gets an EPA rated 34 miles per gallon on the highway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this model, you also get a touchscreen display for VW Car-Net. Car-Net has an App-Connect feature that integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get a lot of safety and convenient features. Forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assistance, and more are included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are standard options on the SE model which is exceptional. Though it’s classified as a mid-size I found the Passat 2.0 SE to feel more like a full-size vehicle that could comfortably seat five adults. Base price on the 2.0. SE is $25,845. The only option on the model I drove was a sunroof package and a beautiful aurora red metallic exterior. These options brought the delivered price to $28,155.
