Yes, the Draw Tite hitch part # 24880 has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Volkswagen Passat so it would be a great choice. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
