When The “Best In Class” Is Even Better

This is the time of year, when next year’s models start arriving on the lot, and you see deals and incentives popping up on the current model year cars. However, at Volkswagen this year, another opportunity presents itself as this year’s “Best In Class” mid-size sedan is among those in the spotlight.

Earlier this year, Cars.com gave the 2016 Volkswagen Passat the nod for “Best In Class” among mid-size sedans. The Passat was given exemplary rankings by their judges for interior quality, comfort, acceleration, child safety seats, and value. It was pitted against the Hyundai Sonata, the Subaru Legacy, the Chevrolet Malibu, the Honda Accord, the Kia Optima, the Nissan Altima, and the Toyota Camry.

Volkswagen made a few noticeable upgrades to the Passat for 2016. Outside it has a more aggressive design than it did in 2015. Inside, it features a more sophisticated interior, a new instrument panel, and has integrated VW’s latest MIB II infotainment system. The 2016 Passat also has numerous features that help live up to the reputation for safety that comes with a Volkswagen.

Now, as the 2017 models arrive, the 2016 Passat is an ever better bargain than it was when it earned its title. Whether you look at favorable financing rates through Volkswagen credit, or discounts through sale prices, the vehicle that took home Cars.com’s coveted prize in part for being “worth the money,” now costs even less than it did a few months ago.

It’s not unusual for a car to be a better bargain this time of year, and there are many reasons to buy a current model year vehicle when the next year’s models are arriving. It’s still a new car, as it does not have a previous owner, incentives are in place that make it even more appealing, and the dealers are looking to make room for the new inventory. What is rare is for a car with these accolades to be among those to choose from.
