Midsize sedans have long been considered a reliable bet when it comes to a vehicle, but one without a lot of excitement. But all that is changing in 2016 with two midsize sedans that are providing the time-tested reliability and adding in the wow factor you would expect from a modern car: the 2016 Volkswagen Passat and the Hyundai Sonata.
 However, only one of these two cars can be the king of the hill, and that car, definitively, is the 2016 Volkswagen Passat. Keep reading to find out why the 2016 Volkswagen Passat is the top of its class, and if you're a resident of Cherry Hill, Mount Laurel, or Turnersville, come in to Prestige Volkswagen to schedule a test drive.
Front Seat vs. Backseat
Both the 2016 Volkswagen Passat and the Hyundai Sonata come with great seating, but the winner depends on where your priorities are. If you're the type of person who's often driving around groups of friends or family, then the Volkswagen Passat is the car for you. It has both a spacious front seat and plenty of rear seat leg and headroom to make sure that all of your passengers are as comfortable as possible.
The Hyundai Sonata, on the other hand, is great for people who mostly drive alone or with passengers only in the front seat, as backseat passengers may feel cramped depending on their height.
So in the battle for the most space for all passengers, the 2016 Volkswagen Passat is the winner.
Technology Features of the VW Passat and Hyundai Sonata
In a modern midsize sedan, the technology features have quickly become a primary concern for most consumers. For tech-savvy consumers, both the 2016 Volkswagen Passat and the Hyundai Sonata are great choices, but the VW Passat once again takes center stage.
 This year, for the first time, the 2016 Volkswagen Passat comes with the world-class MIB II infotainment system that brings the addition of Apple Car Play and Android Auto, making it that much easier to connect the music on your phone with your car's audio system.
And while the Hyundai Sonata offers similar features with its Entune system, it can't match the ease and intuitive use offered by the VW Passat.
If technology features are important to you in a car, then the 2016 Volkswagen Passat is for you.
Volkswagen Passat vs. Hyundai Sonata Performance and Power
Finally, we come to the issue of power and performance. In yet another category, the 2016 VW Passat outpaces the competition. Although the 2.4-liter engine capable of 245 horsepower offered by the Hyundai Sonata is certainly adequate, it can't provide the smooth ride and performance handling that the VW Passat's 3.6-liter V6 with 280 horsepower can.
When you want a midsize sedan that performs whenever you need it to, the 2016 Volkswagen Passat comes out on top.
2016 Volkswagen Passat or Hyundai Sonata?
As we've seen, for the best midsize sedan with the features and performance anyone could want, the 2016 Volkswagen Passat is the clear, easy choice.
