Herndon, VA — (October 1, 2015) Volkswagen of America, Inc. (VWoA) today reported sales of 26,141 units delivered in September 2015, a .56 percent increase over September 2014.

The sales results reflect a mid-month stop-sale for all 2.0L 4-cylinder TDI vehicles due to an investigation by EPA and CARB into emissions compliance.

Volkswagen revealed the newly redesigned 2016 Passat earlier in the month; the vehicle will hit showrooms by the end of the year. In September, the Chattanooga-built Passat delivered 7,228 units.
