2016 Volkswagen Passat vs. 2016 Ford Fusion
Midsize sedans don’t seem to get as much attention as they should. Pickup trucks and SUVs receive a lot of coverage on television spots, but midsize sedans serve a unique purpose in that they are versatile cars fit for just about any lifestyle. A single driver can use it to get around town just as well as a family can use it for a trip across the state to Grandma’s house. So many midsize sedan options exist out there from almost every brand, so we thought we would set up a comparison of two popular ones. Let’s look at the 2016 Volkswagen Passat vs. the 2016 Ford Fusion.
Both of these vehicles are exceptional examples of what a midsize sedan should be. But take a look at those first two numbers. The 2016 Passat can hold 18.5 gallons of gasoline compared with the 2016 Fusion’s 16.5 gallon capacity. On top of that, the Passat can achieve 25 city miles per gallon and 38 highway miles per gallon, which is a few steps up from the Fusion’s 22 city and 34 highway miles per gallon.
