Volkswagen Passat (USA Version)
Archive

In 2011, the first Passat developed by Volkswagen for North America made its world debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The sedan was larger than the corresponding European model. The technology and design of the “New Midsize Sedan” were created in Germany, with Volkswagen of America providing conceptual orientation. The world premiere of a comprehensive update of the US Passat followed in New York in 2015, with entirely redesigned front and rear ends. The sedan is produced at the US plant in Chattanooga. Since 2012, a sister to the US Passat has been produced and sold by SAIC Volkswagen (Shanghai, Nanjing plant). By the end of 2017, more than 1.7 million units of the Passat developed for the USA and China had been produced.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
