The Volkswagen Passat NMS (New Midsize Sedan) debuted in 2011 as a distinct model targeted at North America, China, and South Korea. Differing from the European B7, it featured a longer body with a wheelbase stretched by 91 mm and unique exterior stampings. The vehicle prioritized maximum rear knee room and plush suspension comfort at an accessible price point, built strictly as a four-door sedan.

US powertrain specs included a 2.5-liter five-cylinder (170 hp), a 3.6-liter VR6 (280 hp), 1.8/2.0 TSI turbo fours, and a 2.0 TDI turbodiesel. In 2019, a major restyle (NMS II) introduced bolder coupe-like styling cues and updated electronics, continuing assembly in Chattanooga until production officially ceased in 2022.
