The 2020 Volkswagen Passat Struggles to Compete

I review the 2nd refresh of this generation of the Volkswagen Passat, which is new for 2020. While the exterior is nicely updated (even if it is conservative), and the driving dynamics are still mostly solid, the lack of features and lack of horsepower you get in this car with an as-tested price of $32,015 makes it a hard sell to anyone outside of the VW faithful. With the midsize sedan segment getting very competitive and competitors becoming more and more impressive as they continue to make big improvements, the 2020 Passat just gets left behind in my opinion. What do you think of the 2020 VW Passat?
