Rear legroom is generous too, offering limousine-like comfort for passengers. In terms of driving, the Passat strikes a fine balance between comfort and control. It handles confidently and rides smoothly, even with the GT’s firmer suspension. It's well-insulated from wind and road noise, making long journeys relaxing and enjoyable. Safety is another key strength. Standard features include adaptive cruise control, front assist with city emergency braking, parking sensors, lane assist, and multiple airbags.
