The Volkswagen CC (originally known as the Volkswagen Passat CC in its first generation[2]) is a four-door sedan version of the Volkswagen Passat. It debuted in January 2008 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. According to Volkswagen, the suffix CC stands for Comfort Coupé, but "that name might need some tweaking."[3]
The Passat CC falls between the Passat and the Phaeton in VW's range — while based on the Passat, and sharing its wheelbase, the CC is 27 mm (1.06 inches) longer, 50 mm (1.97 inches) lower, and 36 mm (1.42 inches) wider than the Passat.

Market [edit]
At at its launch in 2008, Volkswagen stated ambitions of selling 300,000 units over a period of seven years.[4] The automaker expects that 60% of these sales (about 26,000 units per year) will come from the U.S. market.[4]
In China, the CC was released by FAW-VW on July 15, 2010, and is available in 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI trims.[5]
With the revised version, Volkswagen promotes the CC as having "sports car" dynamics, but road tests indicate that "calling the CC a sport sedan is completely misleading."[6] Compared to other midsize sedans in the marketplace, the 2013 Volkswagen CC was evaluated by Edmunds as "attractive and higher-quality alternative ... though its smallish backseat and trunk may be deal-breakers ... [and] the sport-tuned suspension is on the firm side."[7] Automotive journalists describe the CC sedan's ride as "nearly sports car firm, with every bump and undulation sent directly to your backside."[3]
Specifications [edit]
The car has on a 2,711 mm (106.7 in) wheelbase and is available with a 1.4-litre E85 TFSI (Finland and Sweden), 1.8-litre petrol inline-four, 2.0-litre petrol inline-four, a 2.0-litre inline-four TDI engine in various drivetrain configurations, as well as with a 3.6-litre VR6 engine (220 kW (299 PS; 295 hp)) with 4motion four-wheel drive and a six-speed twin-clutch direct-shift gearbox (DSG).
The North American market has the 2.0T I4 and 3.6 L VR6 engine as options. This version of the VR6 engine offers an output of 206 kW (276 hp) and 265 lb·ft (359 N·m) of torque in both front-wheel-drive and 4MOTION versions, while the 2.0T produces 200 hp (150 kW) 207 lb·ft (281 N·m). Manual transmission is available in the 2.0T engine option only.[8] It also comes with automatic transmission.

2012 facelift [edit]
_%E2%80%93_Frontansicht,_24._Juni_2012,_Ratingen.jpg)
A facelift to the CC was presented at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and production started in January 2012. The front and rear were revised to make the CC look similar to the current Volkswagen design, while the midsection is unchanged.
Interior changes included a minor design change to the center console, with an updated ACC control panel. This design is also used in the Passat Alltrack.
European engine options remain the same as for the 2011 pre-facelift CC. Transmission options were carried over from the previous version, but the diesel automatic transmission now has with a free-wheel function that is claimed to reduce fuel consumption by disengaging the clutch when the driver lifts their foot from the accelerator.[10] The XDS electronic differential brake also used in the Golf GTI will be available as standard and optional equipment.[11]
Initially no AWD diesel was announced leaving only the V6 as an AWD alternative but diesel versions became available successively during 2012. Availability of diesel 4WD varies by market.
As in North America, the Passat CC will from the 2012 facelift drop the Passat name and be called Volkswagen CC.[12][13]
In January 2013 the optional 2.0 TDI 170 PS (130 kW; 170 hp) was replaced by an uprated version with 177 PS (130 kW; 175 hp). The maximum torque increased from 350 to 380 Nm.
