Currently being built at VW\u2019s Chattanooga and Tennessee plants, the Passat will cease production in 2023. Fortunately, this is not the end for the manufacturing plants.

The US market is showing strong affection for SUV models, which affects sales of other body types. \u201cWe\u2019ve made a decision to cancel the Passat for the US later in the decade,\u201d said Ralf in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The Passat is still fresh in the US after it received a significant overhaul for the 2020 model year.
