For your 2021 Volkswagen Passat, I'd recommend the Draw-Tite # DT44MR Class I hitch. The hitch will be mostly concealed once installed, with only the receiver tube and the safety chain hoops being visible from the rear. The remainder of the hitch will be hidden behind the bumper and fascia.

In order to tow with your hitch, you'll need a trailer wiring harness like # 118721 unless your Passat is an SE or SEL model with LED taillights, in which case you'd need # C59236. You'll also need a # 3593 ball mount and # 19256 for a 1-7/8 or # 19258 for a 2 inch trailer ball.
