Upon introducing the all-new 2012 Volkswagen Passat at the latest NAIAS in Detroit, the German automaker showed the world how it hoped to duplicate the success of the next-generation Jetta with a midsize sedan that stands out by offering luxury at a reasonable price.

2.5L 5-cylinder engine, 170 hp
3.6L V6 engine, 280 hp
2.0L 4-cylinder TDI engine, 140 hp
