Although other countries are given the option of several engine options (including diesel), the US version of the sedan is offered with just one model, a 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder engine that generates 170 horsepower at 5700 rpm. Peak torque reaches 177 pound-feet at 4250 rpm. Transmission choices are also more modest than the performance-minded GLI version. The standard Jetta sedan is paired with either a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed Tiptronic automatic with a manual shift override.

The Passat also has the option of a six-cylinder VR6 engine using the same FSI technology of the inline four. The uniquely V-shaped engine boosts the power to 280 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and torque to 265 pound-feet at 2,750 rpm. With the sedan, Passat owners can either mate this engine with the front-wheel drive common across most models or Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive system. No matter which engine rests at the heart of the Passat, drivers can pick from either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic based on the same Tiptronic system as found in Porsche's cars.

Volkswagen unveiled its Passat CC "four-door coupe" for 2009 and beyond. Like the Mercedes-Benz CLS which sparked this emerging segment, the Passat CC seats four, providing easier access to the rear seats than a two-door coupe. The car is over an inch longer and 1.5 inches wider than the Passat sedan. Its overall height is over two inches lower, most of which has been subtracted from the car's roofline to create a much sleeker appearance.

The heart of the GTI's performance capability comes in the form of its 2.0-liter FSI turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a 16-valve DOHC gasoline powerplant with a high compression ratio of 10.6:1 and maintenance-free hydraulic lifters for smooth, worry-free operation. Engineered to the GTI promise, the 2.0T engine produces 200 horsepower at 5100 rpm and 207 lbs.-ft. of torque between 1800 and 5000 rpm. When combined with a standard six-speed manual transmission, it takes the GTI from 0-60 miles per hour in 7.2 seconds and to an electronically governed top speed of 130 mph. Yet -- with redline at just 6,500 rpm -- power delivery is smooth and relaxed, evident by the 7.5-second acceleration from 37 to 62 mph in fifth gear.
