Volkswagen Passat Vehicle Context

• Long-running mid-size nameplate: The Passat is one of Volkswagen’s longest-running mid-size sedan / wagon nameplates. VW’s traditional mid-size family sedan positioned above the Golf and Jetta in the VW international lineup. Sedan and wagon body styles across various generations
• International vs US market Passat: Different generations of Passat were sold in international markets vs US markets. International Passat used European engineering with sportier characteristics. US market Passat NMS (2012-2022) was specifically designed for US market preferences with larger dimensions, softer suspension, and simplified feature content vs international Passat
• Chattanooga, Tennessee production: The US market Passat NMS was produced at VW’s Chattanooga, Tennessee plant. Chattanooga was VW’s first US assembly plant (opened 2011) and represents VW’s US manufacturing investment. Same plant that produces the VW Atlas (see our related Atlas ignition coil listing) and Atlas Cross Sport
• US market discontinuation 2022: The US market Passat was discontinued after the 2022 model year as VW consolidated its US lineup around SUVs (Atlas, Atlas Cross Sport, Taos, Tiguan) and the ID.4 electric SUV. Sedan segments have contracted in the US market as buyer preferences moved toward SUVs. Similar to the discontinuation of the VW Arteon (see our related Arteon airbag clock spring listing)
