Passat discontinued in US! It will be a "special" model for China.

I have to admit, the Volkswagen Passat is really a classic car. Volkswagen Passat is indeed a classic model, who can have a Passat, and now driving a Mercedes-Benz S-Class effect is almost the same, and even now, Passat's monthly sales can still be maintained at more than 10,000 units, can definitely be said to be enduring. Recently, Volkswagen announced that the Passat production in the United States to stop the news has caused another hot debate, the following car uncle for you to bring a detailed report.

According to what Uncle Car learned from foreign media channels, the reason for this Volkswagen's announcement to discontinue the Passat in the United States is that Americans are more fond of SUVs, which has led to the fact that the sales of the Passat have not been very good, so the production of the Passat had to be discontinued. According to Uncle Car's understanding, the 2019 Volkswagen Passat sales in the United States are only 14,123 units, which is not as good as the model's sales in China for a month, so it seems that it really does not make sense to continue to produce in the United States.

But only in the U.S. production is not enough to make this car become a domestic special models, car uncle also learned that Volkswagen is ready to "cut" the Passat three-box version of the model in Europe, in Europe, the reason for the discontinuation of the sedan is not no market, but because of the European countries are more inclined to ?koda Speed three-box version, so Volkswagen decided to discontinue production of the three-box version of the Passat in Europe, the car uncle is also known. So Volkswagen has decided to discontinue the production of the Passat trim level in Europe, allowing the Skoda Speed to fully replace it.

As for the Chinese market, Volkswagen will definitely not discontinue the Passat, after all, the Chinese market for Volkswagen is a golden bowl, the total sales of the Passat in the country from January to October 2020 reached 103,967, and it is unlikely that it can be replaced by other products.
