The author of this comparison probably doesn't read what they're writing. Almost 100 Nm is a small difference? XD And by the way, the Leaf is listed at 6.9 s to the first 100 km/h while the rival is over 8 s — that's not a small difference… it's a shame to read this comparison with so many mistakes; better to take a drive and judge for yourself.

The Arteon is the stylish fastback that brings more curb appeal and a slightly sportier drive, while the Passat sticks to its mission with cavernous space, a cushier ride and pricing that won’t frighten the fleet manager. If your commute doubles as a catwalk, pick the Arteon; if your life is a …
