When buying a new car, it’s important to know as much as you can about what you are looking for. Price, size, and gas mileage narrow down what you want into a smaller set, or class of vehicles. If you are searching for a mid-size sedan, the Volkswagen R-Line proves to be competitive, if not superior, to its competition in those categories.
But where do you go from there? How does the Passat R-Line compare to its competition when you start to dig deeper when finding the car that’s right for you? To answer that question, we have put together a side by side comparison of some key safety and comfort categories that can help give a closer look at what the Passat R-Line has to offer:
| 2017 Volkswagen Passat R-Line | 2017 Honda Accord Sport | 2017 Toyota Camry SE | 2017 Ford Fusion SE | |
| Blind Spot Monitor | Standard | Not available | Not available | Not available |
| Rear Traffic Alert | Standard | Not available | Not available | Not available |

These amenities are just an example of how Volkswagen continues to keep driver safety at the forefront while continually adding to driver comfort. Another great way to get to know the vehicle you are considering is to look at the history of that model. With the Passat, it continues to get rave reviews. For example; in 2016, the Volkswagen Passat took home the honor of “Best In Class” for mid-size sedans according to cars.com. The 2017 Passat R-Line looks to continue that momentum and improve on that award winning performance.
