Why it stands out
The 2014 Volkswagen Passat stands out as a midsize sedan that was built at Volkswagen’s Chattanooga, Tennessee, facility and designed with American buyers in mind, which shows up most clearly in its emphasis on space. It is also described as an attractive, composed sedan that aims for a balance of casual and classy rather than trying to be overly flashy.

I love the ride and features of this car. Handles great and although the price of diesel is more, I know the mileage you get from a diesel is greater compared to gas. Love the leg room also, both front and rear areas.

Reviewed a 2014 Volkswagen TDI SEL Premium on Jun 2, 2014
I've driven a lot of cars and this is one of my all time favorites. The Passat TDI even as a base car comes nicely loaded, the SEL has some added luxuries that make longer drives even nicer. The interior has decent styling and comfortable seats. It's the type of car you can buy and really enjoy driving because it's not breaking your bank account to drive with either the payment or the fuel bill. I would recommend looking into this car if you're in the market for a sedan. Don't be afraid of diesel.

Unlike the pictures and the legality of the tinted windows was a suprise as well as a missing right mirror and many minor but important damages including broken windshield.

Reviewed a 2014 Volkswagen TDI SE on Dec 7, 2014
So far a total of four NMS Passats in the family. All TDI's. I think this says something. Some will take issue with the conservative styling compared to the flashy offerings of other makers. Some will disagree but I tend to believe the conservative style will age far better. Then being basically German and not Asian... It's one of those things you either appreciate or don't. If you appreciate engineering and build quality, then place the NMS up on a rack and do a complete inspection. There's a reason that a decade old VW will not be rusted out. There's also a reason that at 100k miles the TDI is just getting her first wind. It's really difficult to quantify the difference between VW and most other competitive vehicles but it's truly vast. Downsides? There are some for some types of owners. If all you ever do is climb into your car and turn the key, then perhaps the Passat in general and the TDI in particular may not be your best choice. My experience with many TDI's of different vintages is that they will not tolerate neglect. Have the proper maintenance done or do it yourself. Don't skimp and don't use cheap components. If you fail to keep up there will usually be a price to be paid somewhere down the road. The biggest con? Not opting for the TDI. It makes the Passat something very special.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Volkswagen Passat?
At 57.3% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has any accident history or incomplete service records. Focus your inspection on body condition, interior wear, and whether the car’s equipment works as expected, since some owners mention missing features and a lack of advanced technology compared with competitors.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: Our test model featured 17-inch alloy wheels but did not include foglights, and the cabin was simple rather than spartan, with hard plastic and V-Tex fake leather. That makes the lower trims worth a close look if you want the upscale look without expecting premium content.
- Powertrain: You can choose from a 168-hp 2.5-liter inline 5-cylinder, a 1.8-liter turbocharged inline 4-cylinder, a 276-hp 3.6-liter V6, or a 2.0-liter turbodiesel inline 4-cylinder. The diesel delivers the best fuel economy, while the V6 brings the strongest acceleration.
- Safety package: Standard equipment includes front and side airbags, electronic stability control, antilock brakes with hydraulic brake assist, a crash-absorbing front crumple zone, and an Intelligent Crash Response System.
- Infotainment: The Passat’s tech setup includes Bluetooth pairing, USB connectivity, and access to smartphone music files by artist and more. The hardline iPhone connection and short cable are worth checking if you rely on phone integration.
- Fuel efficiency: The 2.5-liter engine is rated at 22 mpg city/32 highway, or 31 highway with the automatic. The 1.8T returns 24/35, or 34 with the automatic, while the V6 returns 20 mpg city/28 highway.
Which 2014 Volkswagen Passat trim should I buy?
The 2014 Volkswagen Passat is offered in 4 trim levels: S, SE, SEL Premium, TDI SE.
Here's the short version:
- S: This is the entry point, so it makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and are comfortable giving up some of the nicer equipment mentioned in the review.
- SE: This is the best-value choice for most shoppers because it sits in the middle of the lineup and gives you a more balanced mix of equipment and price.
- TDI SE: Choose this if fuel economy is your top priority and you want the diesel powertrain with its strong low-end torque and best mileage.
- SEL Premium: This is the trim to consider if you want the more upscale equipment and the 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, which is only offered here.
The safety package includes the standard airbags, stability control, antilock brakes with hydraulic brake assist, and the Intelligent Crash Response System across the lineup.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Volkswagen Passat?
This is a moderate, selective-buyer market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right car.
- Deal availability: 30.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 806 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 4.08% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $7,802, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2014 Volkswagen Passat's resale value?
The current average of $7,859 sits slightly below last year's $8,194.
That tells you the market has softened, which can help you as a buyer now but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at the right price and keep the car in strong condition, you can reduce the impact of that depreciation curve. The Passat’s broad appeal as a comfortable, efficient midsize sedan should help it remain easy to explain to future buyers.
Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.28/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2014 Volkswagen Passat safe?
The 2014 Volkswagen Passat earns a Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS and a five-star rating from NHTSA.
It earns an 8/10 safety score from our experts.
Standard safety equipment includes front and side airbags, electronic stability control, antilock brakes with hydraulic brake assist, a crash-absorbing front crumple zone, and an Intelligent Crash Response System that shuts off the fuel pump, unlocks the doors, and activates the hazard lights after a crash. One caveat is the backup camera interface, which reduces the screen size and is a usability drawback.
Should I buy a 2014 Volkswagen Passat or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
