Longer, wider, and taller, the new 2007 Volkswagen Passat Wagon is also more spacious inside, especially when it comes to rear legroom, which is up 2.4 inches over the old car. The standard engine is a 2.0-liter, turbocharged and intercooled inline four-cylinder making 200 horsepower and 207 lb.-ft. of torque. What’s impressive about this motor is that it’s fuel-efficient yet powerful, in part because peak torque is available across a flat powerband from 1,800 rpm to 5,000 rpm. A 3.6-liter narrow-angle V6 engine is also available with 280 horsepower and 265 lb.-ft. of torque that peaks at a low 2,750 rpm. The 2.0-liter turbo can be matched to a manual or automatic transmission, while the 3.6-liter V6 comes only with a six-speed Tiptronic manually-interactive automatic with sport mode. Volkswagen’s 4Motion AWD is also available, but only on Passat 3.6L models.
