Volkswagen drove away with a prestigious honor. The brand’s new eighth-generation Passat sedan won Europe’s Car of the Year award.
The VW four-door beat a multinational lineup of contenders including the BMW 2 Series, Citroen C4 Cactus, Ford Mondeo, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Nissan Qashqai and Renault Twingo. That’s some serious competition, particularly the C-Class and 2 Series.
