The 2010 Volkswagen Passat Wagon is mechanically the same as the 2010 Volkswagen Passat Sedan, and like the Sedan is now only offered in a single Komfort trim, with a 200-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine and front-wheel drive. That's fine, as the engine provides good performance and impressive economy with the six-speed automatic transmission
From the outside, we think the 2010 Volkswagen Passat Wagon’s design is more cohesive and attractive than the sedan, with better proportions. A power liftgate is standard on all wagons—either a welcome convenience or unnecessary complexity, depending on your demands. The Passat Wagon has impressive backseat space that rivals some of the roomiest sedans in the mid-size class; it’s especially leg-friendly for lanky adult passengers. Rear seatbacks fold forward neatly to expand the cargo floor, which is very convenient with its low lift-in height, and altogether the 2010 VW Passat Wagon makes a great SUV alternative. Overall, the quality of the materials in the Volkswagen Passat Wagon and Sedan is quite impressive, and the interior layout feels both luxurious and practical.
