Volkswagen Celebrates 10 Years Of Building Cars In The USA

One decade ago, Volkswagen built a 2011 Passat SEL painted Night Blue Metallic with a 2.5-liter five-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, leather interior, and 18-inch wheels. It was the first car to be produced at its plant in Chattanooga, Tennesee. More than 10 years later, the US-based plant has achieved some impressive milestones. Some of the factory's biggest moments include building the 100,000th Passat in May 2012, the 250,000th Passat in May 2013, announcing the Atlas in July 2014, building the 100,000th Atlas in October 2018, and building its one-millionth car in June 2020.
