After a decade of success with American sedan buyers, Volkswagen of America, Inc. announced Monday, July 19, 2021 that it will end assembly of the Passat sedan in Chattanooga with model year 2022, part of the plant’s transformation to build future electric vehicles. In 2011, Volkswagen started assembling the Passat for the North American market out of its advanced assembly plant in Chattanooga. To celebrate the integral role of the Passat in the resurgence of Volkswagen in the United States, a short-run 2022 Passat Limited Edition will join the lineup with Chattanooga-inspired details.
