Volkswagen Confirms Passat Will Be No More After 2023

Volkswagen has revealed that the end is nigh for production of the Passat at its Chattanooga, Tennessee plant.

The German car manufacturer is in the midst of an aggressive push into the electric vehicle market and as such, recently unveiled a new EV in the form of the ID.4. Examples of the ID.4 sold in the United States will be produced at the Chattanooga site starting in 2022, with production to reach full capacity in 2023. In the same year, the plant will stop building the Passat.

It is so sad to see the breed of sedans slowly dying.

I do miss sedans, but it kind of makes sense with the Arteon being there now. It's harder in this market to have two sedans like that.

I enjoyed my Passat TDI, but times have changed. Really looking forward to seeing the ID.4 in the flesh.
