The Volkswagen CC (originally known as the Volkswagen Passat CC in its first generation) is a four-door sedan version of the Volkswagen Passat with a "stylized sweeping roofline". reducing rear headroom and cargo space. It debuted in January 2008 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. According to Volkswagen, the suffix CC stands for Comfort Coupé despite it not being a coupé due to having four doors.
The 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 making it more executive-oriented.
At its launch in 2008, Volkswagen stated ambitions of selling 300,000 units over a period of seven years. The automaker expects that 60% of these sales (about 26,000 units per year) will come from the U.S. market.
In China, the CC was released by FAW-Volkswagen on July 15, 2010, and is available in 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI trims.
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." 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." Automotive journalists describe the CC sedan's ride as "nearly sports car firm, with every bump and undulation sent directly to your backside."
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 6 speed tiptronic transmission.
