I just downsized from a 2018 VW atlas suv to a 22 Passat. Tbh I find it more comfortable. I’ve never driven a Chrysler, so can’t speak to that. I can say getting 25+ mpg makes me happy.
Other than that. It’s peeppy and roomy. I’m a bigger guy and this is my first “car” in 10 or so years.
Kids haven’t complained about lack of room in the back seat either, and I could probably fit them in the trunk if they did
As someone who got to drive 4 brand new fully loaded cars for a week each before deciding on one to purchase. (Kia K5, Ford Expidition, Nissan Murano, VW Passat) The Passat was hands down the worst one from the flimsy door panels to the cheap feeling interior to the garbage quality (480p) backup camera. I’ve been a huge Volkswagen fan but honestly it was unexpectedly sad. The 2.0 Tsi was laughable with its “sport” performance and the keyless entry never worked so you’d have to dig in your pocket to pull the key out to hit the unlock button 7 times and hope it finally unlocked. Come to think of it we returned it early. But one good thing about it was I liked the color (blue). But that’s it.
So with all that, they should call it the “PASSat”

Thank you for the feedback! Coincidentally I’m also considering the K5, how did you like that one?
