Yes, we do have hitches that fit your 2017 Volkswagen Passat. The best of them being the EcoHitch # 306-X7317 because it's the only 2 inch hitch. That gives you more variety of cargo carriers to choose from. If you prefer a more economical hitch then I recommend the Curt # C11234 which is a 1-1/4 inch receiver.
Your Passat doesn't have a very high tongue weight rating so I recommend a lightweight aluminum carrier like our # C18113. It fits a 2 inch so only use this carrier with the EcoHitch. If you get a 1-1/4 inch hitch then I recommend # C18145 because it's the lightest. There aren't any aluminum carriers that fit 1-1/4 inch hitches.
