Volkswagen is all set to reintroduce the Passat nameplate in the country with an all-new eighth-generation model later this year. Volkswagen India has commenced local production of the Passat at VW Group’s Aurangabad facility in Maharashtra. It is the same facility that also manufactures the Tiguan. Both the sedan and the SUV along with the Skoda Superb, Octavia and the upcoming Kodiaq share VW Group’s MQB (modular transverse matrix) platform.
