2018 Passat Offers New Experience to Spitzer VW Buyers

AMHERST, Ohio, Feb. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Visitors to the Spitzer Volkswagen Blog or to other research tools on the dealership's website might think that sedan models like the VW Passat haven't been upgraded for the current model year. In fact, that kind of thinking could not be further from the truth. The automaker has made several changes to the popular sedan that make it more desirable than ever as well as making it even more competitive against some of the toughest vehicles in its class. To make sure every person in the new-car-buying process is equipped with the best information available, the Spitzer Volkswagen product experts have completed a side-by-side comparison of the 2018 VW Passat against the 2018 Honda Accord. 

The biggest change made to the 2018 Passat is the introduction of the new GT trim. Volkswagen combined the elements of a few of the upper existing trims with some new sport-themed features to create one of the dynamic versions of the Passat to be available in the United States. When comparing the top-of-the-line trim grade of the 2018 Accord to the new 2018 Passat GT, the latter posts much more impressive performance specifications than the Honda sedan.  

Buyers considering the 2018 Passat GT will be getting a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter, V-6 engine attached to a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. This will make 280 horsepower available to drivers behind the wheel. 

Standard versions of the Passat also give the 2018 Accord a run for its money when it comes to the availability of equipment. Base models of the 2018 Passat come with automatic headlights as well as other active driver assistance systems. Honda customers will have access to these features too, but also have to contend with a starting price that is a few thousand dollars more than the suggested price of the 2018 VW Passat.
