Overhauled sedan to make official debut at the Detroit motor show.

Volkswagen USA has teased the new 2020 Passat this week ahead of its full reveal at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit next week.

The German manufacturer quietly released sketches of the new sedan without any press release last month, and now the company has taken to Twitter posting a tightly-cropped image of the production alloy wheel.

"Fact: In 2018, over 4.25 million sedans were sold in the U.S. Stay tuned," Volkswagen said in the tweet.

While not much can be seen from the single image (see bottom), the design of the alloy wheel is very similar to the sketches, along with with 'Bonneville' rim offered on the Polo light hatch – which isn't sold in the States, mind you.
