The Volkswagen Passat for North America and China, developed as the New Midsize Sedan or NMS, is a mid-size sedan that debuted at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2011 and replaced the B6 Passat in North America. It was developed by SAIC-Volkswagen and Volkswagen Passenger Cars on a lengthened version of the European platform and was sold with no wagon version. It was built in Chattanooga, Tennessee for North America and in Nanjing for China, and won the 2012 Motor Trend Car of the Year. From 2019 the North American car stayed a reskinned version of its predecessor while China received a separate MQB-based Passat. United States production ended after the 2022 model year with a Limited Edition of 1,973.
