2019 Passat Exterior
The 2019 VW Passat prides itself on its ability to provide a comfortable and safe driving experience while cruising so far under the radar that you'd probably get hit by one even if you were staring straight at it. To its credit, Volkswagen has attempted to give the Passat a bit of added street cred by offering the SE R-line with some flashy wheels and sporty exterior bits. Wolfsburg cars get standard automatic headlights, heated and powered side mirrors and a set of 17-inch ten-spoke alloy wheels. Step up to the SE R-Line, and you'll get LED headlights with daytime running lights and taillights, rain-sensing window wipers and a power tilt/slide sunroof. The SE R-Line also gets a hands-free trunk liftgate and a rear sports valance, which gives the sporty Passat a bit more bite in the bum area. The SE R-Line rolls on a set of 19-inch twin five-spoke wheels.

Exterior Colors
As if the Passat wasn't invisible enough, Volkswagen USA thought it good to offer the 2019 model in some rather bland hues. The bases are covered by Pure White, Reflex Silver Metallic, and Deep Black Pearl, but things get a bit more adventurous with Fortana Red, Tourmaline Blue or Platinum Gray. The seventh color and the newest addition to the family is Terra Brown Metallic, it looks great and gives the Passat a more upmarket look too.
