The Volkswagen Passat (NMS) is a mid -range passenger car model for North America, China and South Korea that is cheaper to manufacture than the European Passat and can be offered at lower prices. The designation "NMS" stands for New Midsize Sedan and is only used to distinguish it from the European model, but is not an official part of the name.
As there are different consumer expectations in relation to automobile use in the United States, for example because there are no roads without a speed limit, Volkswagen decided to build another version of the Passat for this market. The lower price is achieved, among other things, through a simpler construction and poorer processing, which is particularly evident in the rear.
The series is built by both the US Volkswagen Group of America Chattanooga Operations and the Chinese automobile manufacturer SAIC-Volkswagen . The European Passat B6 , Passat B7 and Passat B8 are available in China as VW Magotan parallel to the NMS Passat. In contrast to the Passat (NMS), the Magotan is built by FAW-Volkswagen .

US version
The Passat was offered in the United States from 2011 to 2019. The starting price of the model produced in Chattanooga , Tennessee was 20,845 US dollars (around 16,300 euros net) in 2012 , which is well below the price of the European model, which is available from 24,775 euros (20,819 euros net).
The engine range initially comprised a 2.0-liter turbodiesel with direct injection and 103 kW (140 PS), a 2.5-liter petrol engine with five cylinders and 125 kW (170 PS) and a VR6 petrol engine with 3.6 liters Displacement and 206 kW (280 PS). During the 2014 model year, the 2.5-liter engine was replaced by a turbocharged petrol engine with a displacement of 1.8 liters and also 125 kW (170 hp), but slightly higher torque.
In September 2015, Volkswagen presented a revision of the US version. Among other things, this brought an appearance more closely oriented towards the European variant and various modernizations. In the wake of the VW emissions scandal , the diesel engine was omitted.
China version
In China, the Passat was manufactured at the plant in Nanjing for the Chinese and South Korean markets from 2011 . The engines used were 1.4, 1.8 and 2.0 TSI gasoline engines as well as a 3.0 liter VR6. At the same time, the European Passat is also offered in China. This is called Magotan there .

2nd generation
Despite the visual similarity, the US version built in Chattanooga and the China version built in Nanjing are two completely different models of the second generation. While the US Passat continues to build on the platform of the previous model, the China Passat now uses the more modern MQB platform . The Passat has not been offered in South Korea since 2019.
