When perusing the options for one’s next car, one will quickly notice that every segment has its staples – the cars that have led the segment for years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. As one would expect, the Volkswagen Passat is one of the staples for the sedan segment, and it shows no signs of slowing down. As a matter of fact, it only seems to be getting better with every new production year.
For the 2018 model year, the VW Passat is available in six trim levels: S, R-Line, SE, SE with Technology, SEL Premium and V6 SEL Premium. Between these trims, the Passat is able to accommodate virtually any set of needs. That said, it can be tricky keeping track of how the trims differ from one another. For that reason, Findlay Volkswagen has created this in-depth 2018 VW Passat trim level comparison.
