The new 2016 Volkswagen Passat offers a dynamic progression over its predecessor. The sedan looks sharper than ever with newly designed front/rear bumpers and headlights, as well as a revised trunk lid design in back.

Inside, the 2016 VW Passat changes in many areas, as well. There are attractive two-tone panels, along with piano black and chrome trim that add a dash of flair. The MIB II infotainment system has been updated, adding MirrorLink, gesture controls (swiping and pinching), and Android and Apple smartphone integration. Also in the cockpit realm, there’s a new instrument panel and steering wheel. If you like options, heated rear seats and a hands-free trunk opening feature augment the available equipment list.

Safety is further honed this year, too. In a big move, Volkswagen has included automatic post-collision braking on every model in the lineup. That’s right, it’ll come standard even on the base trim, which is great news for those who purchase a 2016 VW Passat in Phoenix, Arizona. Also now standard on all trims is a rearview camera, and depending on the selected trim, the camera will integrate with available safety tech like park assist, adaptive cruise control, rear traffic alert, autonomous emergency braking and lane-departure warning.
