In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety tests, the Passat earned scores of good in all categories except the newer frontal small-overlap test, where it rated acceptable. Out of 19 models in the institute's midsize moderately priced cars class, seven have the higher rating of good for this test. Six match the Passat.
The Passat falls way behind in one regard: It's devoid of increasingly common active-safety options like blind spot and lane departure warning, and it also lacks a collision warning system now offered by many competitors. VW has hinted that these features will appear for 2016.
The Passat is particularly accommodating of child-safety seats thanks to exposed lower Latch anchors and plenty of backseat space.
