Sedans aren’t just known for their efficiency anymore, although that’s a crucial component of just about every one of them. Today, they’re built to perform with the kind of energy and durability that you might find on sportier models, combined with the connectivity and convenience that’s come to define vehicles of this status. Two of our favorites in the present market are our very own 2019 Volkswagen Passat and the 2019 Ford Fusion, as they each have much to offer in all these aforementioned aspects. But which one is best suited for your busy lifestyle?
That’s the question that we’re answering today; our Janesville VW team has put some info together on the 2019 Passat and Fusion models to detail how well they stack up. Join us below and find your next dream sedan!

The 2019 Passat sedan’s advantage over the Fusion in terms of economy and power is well-documented, but it’s also highly capable of giving you a stellar, entertaining experience behind the wheel. It offers a 400-watt Fender® Premium Audio System not seen on the Fusion, as well as some of the best security and navigation features in the business thanks to VW Car-Net. All the while, the Passat works hard to keep you safe in ways that a Ford just can’t match. This is due to the following safety features:
Adaptive Cruise Control
Blind Spot Monitor
Lane Assist
Front Assist
Rear Traffic Alert
Many more!
