We'll keep this brief, in keeping with the brevity of the list of changes Volkswagen has made to its mid-size Passat for 2020. As Volkswagen itself puts it, 'While the 2020 Passat retains the underpinnings of the previous model, it has been completely restyled.'

Indeed, wrapped around 's body structure, chassis, engine, and transmission is fresh sheetmetal. Peer through the windows, and you'll notice the interior is slightly newified, too. Last year's Passat was a solid vehicle with a roomy interior and refined ride quality.

Based on, those pluses remain. But then, they should-the car is basically the same as it was before.

With its prominent body-side crease running from nose to tail and more three-dimensional front-end styling, the Passat closely resembles. It is a staid look, particularly compared to the appearance of,,. Up close, some of the detailing is upscale, namely the elegant creases adorning the rear quarter-panels and trunklid; other flourishes fail to impress, such as the chrome front-fender garnish, which was crooked on the Passat we saw in person. Newly standard equipment for 2020 includes 17-inch aluminum wheels and full-LED exterior lighting.

The Passat's interior is similarly overhauled visually, in a style wholly reminiscent of the old Passat's cabin. A classy new full-width-appearing vent stretches from the center stack to the passenger door, although climate-controlled air only flows from its far right corner. We detected no great leap forward in the cabin materials, which as before skew toward the basic end of the spectrum, particularly around the lower half of the door panels, the bottom of the dashboard, and the center console.

An 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (along with SiriusXM satellite radio) is now standard.

As before, VW includes safety gear on the base model such as forward-collision warning, automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert. Buyers can pay more for adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and niceties such as 18- or 19-inch wheels, a Fender audio system, keyless entry with push-button start, and nappa leather seating surfaces. Photo credit: Volkswagen More Few consumers will realize or care that Volkswagen carried over the old Passat's New Mid-Size architecture, rather than shift the Passat to its newer MQB platform. Every other U.S.-market Volkswagen uses MQB except the Beetle and the value-oriented Tiguan Classic, the old Tiguan that VW sells alongside the new model at a discount. By not using the newer components, the Passat is boxed out of the fresher infotainment screens and digital gauge clusters available in other VWs. The evolutionary Passat takes no risks, and its intelligently allocated updates (maximum surface change where customers will notice; little deeper down, where they won't) likely were far more affordable to Volkswagen than a full redesign.
