All Of The Cars That Died In 2021

Technically, the Volkswagen Passat still has maybe a year of production scheduled at the automaker’s Chattanooga plant. However, the Passat assembly line will be retooled for the ID.4, starting in 2022 and heading into 2023. Once that’s complete, the nameplate will be finished in North America.

Volkswagen hoisted the Passat to take on Camry and Accord almost a decade ago, vying to be the volume king of the segment. Unfortunately, that effort waned once the company was preoccupied with other, more pressing matters. As you might guess, the Passat will continue to be sold elsewhere in the world.
