Taking aim at Toyota’s Camry sedan, Volkswagen on Wednesday unveiled pricing for its new Chattanooga-made Passat with the base model undercutting its segment-leading Japanese rival.
The base 2012 Passat’s $19,995 price tag is less than the current 2011 Camry, the U.S. midsize sales leader, which starts at $20,195, according to Toyota’s website. Camry’s 2012 pricing isn’t available yet.
The base Passat costs less than many of the midsize sedan front-runners, according to the automakers’ prices. The fast-selling Hyundai Sonata begins at $19,395.
