Whether you are marveling at the incredible exterior styling of the Passat, sneaking a peak under the hood, or simply slipping into the luxurious interior, Fusion has far less to offer. The Passat offers far more overall interior space both in the passenger compartment and in the trunk. It also offers a quieter and more refined ride that your family is sure to enjoy.

Standing on the Outside

From the moment you first walk up to the 2015 Volkswagen Passat it is easy to see how much effort has gone into designing this premium quality sedan. Start with taking a peek through the sun roof, a feature the 2015 Ford Fusion does not offer as standard. All trim levels of the Passat also come equipped with heated door mirrors that also feature turn indicator lights. They also come with rain sensing windshield wipers and a set of custom 17 inch aluminum rims. These are all features you won't find as standard on the Fusion, though some may be added at extra cost.

What about the Inside?

Great exterior looks and features are just the beginning when comparing the 2015 Passat to the Fusion. Once you open the door of the Passat you will find an 8-way power adjustable driver's seat compared to the 6-way seat in the Fusion. The Passat's seat is also heated unlike that found in the Fusion. For added comfort the Passat comes equipped with dual-zone automatic climate control, the Fusion on the other hand only offers basic manual climate controls.

For your entertainment the Passat comes standard with a six speaker sound system that includes satellite radio. The Fusion only comes with a four speaker audio system and does not include satellite radio. In the Passat you will find a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, a touch of luxury not found in the Fusion.

Power vs Efficiency

Despite the fact that the 2015 Ford Fusion has 5 more horsepower than the 2015 Volkswagen Passat, most drivers in Tallahassee and Quincy, FL, and Valdosta, Thomasville, and Bainbridge, GA will not even be able to tell the difference. However the one place you will be able to see the difference is in the number of times you have to stop by the local gas pump. The Fusion simply can't compete, while you might not think a couple of miles per gallon makes much difference, over the course of one year it will make a significant difference to your wallet.
