Today, Volkswagen announced that their new midsize SUV will be manufactured in the Chattanooga plant in Tennessee, USA. The Group will be investing a total of approximately US$900 million in the production of a newly developed, seven-passenger SUV, and creating 2,000 additional jobs in the US. About US$600 million will be invested in Tennessee.
At Chattanooga, the new SUV will be integrated into existing plant structures. Existing areas in production will be used for the assembly of the midsize SUV. A total floor space of 50,000 m² (approx. 538,000 sq ft) will be added to the existing production facility. The seven-passenger midsize SUV, which is based on the CrossBlue concept vehicle, was developed especially for the North American market. The CrossBlue made its global debut at the 2013 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
