Drive a Passat
A Volkswagen Passat car rental puts you in a roomy midsize sedan with a turbocharged engine and up to 36 mpg on the highway. Browse it alongside other Volkswagen car rental options, and note that 2022 was the Passat's final US model year.
On Turo, you book your Passat from a local vehicle owner and get the exact car you choose — no "or similar" surprises. Pick the year and trim you want, then arrange pickup or delivery around your plans.

Turbocharged power with highway efficiency
The 2022 Passat pairs a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. You get 174 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque, plus EPA ratings of 24 mpg city, 36 mpg highway, and 28 mpg combined. Its 18.5-gallon tank stretches the miles between gas stations — handy on long interstate days.
Room to stretch out
The Passat gives everyone room to settle in. Front passengers get 42.4 inches of legroom, and rear passengers get 39.1 inches. That rear figure matters on longer drives, when back-seat passengers want space to shift and stretch.
With seating for five, the Passat fits a family, a few coworkers, or a group of friends. The 15.9-cubic-foot trunk takes the suitcases, gear bags, and shopping hauls that come with any trip. Pack once, load up, and go — you'll have room for the souvenirs on the way home, too.
Driver-assist features as standard
Every 2022 Passat trim comes with the same driver-assist lineup, so you don't need to hunt for a specific package. Front Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Traffic Alert, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Assist come standard on the SE, R-Line, and Limited Edition.
Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Traffic Alert give you an extra set of eyes when you change lanes or back out of a parking spot. Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Assist ease the effort on long highway stretches. That's welcome support when you're driving unfamiliar roads in a car you've just picked up.
Stand out with a Passat
The Passat fits road trips, business travel, and family visits — any drive where you want space, comfort, and efficiency in one package. Its understated European design and final-edition status give it quiet character in a hotel lot or a relative's driveway. Find yours among car rentals across the US and book the one that fits your trip.
Top Passat features
A final-edition send-off
Three things set the 2022 Passat apart: its final-edition status, connected tech, and Tennessee-built heritage.
The 2022 model year was the Passat's last in the US, and Volkswagen sent it off with a Limited Edition trim. VW planned 1,973 units, each with "1 of 1973" seat tags, 18-inch wheels, and black mirror caps.
On the Limited Edition, the comfort extras stack up — Vienna leather, heated front and rear seats, and Fender Premium Audio. Park Assist rounds out the package for tight parking garages and crowded curbs. If you want the version with the most history behind it, look for the Limited Edition trim on the listing.
Connected, simple tech
Every 2022 Passat comes with a 6.3-inch touchscreen and App-Connect, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Connect your phone, and your maps, playlists, and messages show up on the screen.
That means you can use the navigation app you already know in a car you've just met. Set your destination before you pull away from the curb, queue up a podcast, and keep your focus on the road. It's straightforward tech that gives you what you need on a trip without a learning curve.
Tennessee-built heritage
The Passat has deep American roots. Volkswagen built nearly 800,000 Passats at its Chattanooga, Tennessee, plant. The last US-built Passat — a 2022 Limited Edition in Platinum Grey — rolled off the line in December 2021.
When you rent a 2022 Passat, you're driving one of the final sedans from that run. It's a quiet piece of automotive history that still handles the everyday: commutes, airport runs, and weekend getaways. Choose it when you want an everyday sedan with a story worth telling.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance for trips in the US, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site. When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but the Turo insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
