The next-gen Passat will be unified, meaning it will be the same car all over the world.
Having produced more than 30 million units, Volkswagen is proud to say the Passat is the best-selling midsize sedan ever. It’s currently built on three continents in 10 factories for more than 100 markets and represents the company’s most popular nameplate after the all-conquering Golf. Although the “Passat” name is used throughout the world, the MQB-based European version is far more sophisticated than its American cousin still stuck on PQ46 underpinnings from more than 15 years ago.
