2020 Volkswagen Passat Trim Levels
Now that the Volkswagen Passat sedan has been in the North American market for almost ten years, Volkswagen is releasing the 2020 model year of the vehicle to bring it into a new decade. Although the trim levels for the Volkswagen Passat have fluctuated over the last nine years, the 2020 model year is hitting the road with four different trims.
The four trim levels are the S, SE, R-Line, and SEL. Each one focuses on different priorities, with most adding on to the one before it. With the exception of some content exclusive to the R-Line, the SEL is the culmination of all the trim levels above it. The S is the base model and carries the starting MSRP of $22,995. On the high end, the SEL model starts at $31,095 MSRP, managing to be both cost-effective and feature-rich.
