2015 Volkswagen Ratings, Reviews and Awards

Volkswagen showcased its 2015 lineup in late 2014, surprising some with the significant changes made to the Golf, a compact car that combines modest power with incredible fuel efficiency in a neat and stylish package. VW made a few tweaks to the exterior with a redesigned front panel, but most of the changes happened inside, giving drivers transformed vents and climate controls, more legroom, and touchscreen infotainment. The company also included some new trim levels for the Golf: Sport, SportWagen, Launch Edition, and the electric e-Golf. The Passat saw a few changes to its packages, swapping the sunroof over to the SE Convenience package and adding an 8-speaker audio system and backup camera to the Technology package. Back for its 4th year in the 6th generation, the Jetta underwent modern style changes and introduced a new trim, the Jetta Sport, which adds 17-inch tires and navigation.
