Why the Redesigned VW Passat Excites Car Shoppers in Northeast Ohio

It's midsized and made for you. What is it? It's the redesigned VW Passat - on sale at Kempthorn Volkswagen, proudly serving Akron. If you enjoy the unique handling and fuel economy that only a sedan can provide, you'll love the agile VW Passat. This responsive, sporty-looking car is perfect for single drivers or couples who don't require the cargo capacity of an SUV. If you can get by with nearly 16 cubic-feet of trunk volume, you'll get to reap the benefits of 34 mpg when you travel on I-77 S to get from Canton to New Franklin.

The VW Passat is one of several Volkswagen models on display at your Canton VW dealership. When you browse the Volkswagen Passat listings, you'll encounter four trim levels:

With different amenities and changes to the exterior design, it'll be easy for you to narrow down these four Volkswagen Passat trim levels to the one that best lives up to your expectations for what your next car should be.

The six-speed automatic transmission with sport mode gives the VW Passat an extra boost when it comes to a sporty on-road feel.
