Vehicle Overview

The CC debuted for the 2009 model year as Volkswagen's latest model. The CC stands for "comfort coupe," which is an attempt to define the car’s combination of a coupe-like body style and four doors. With seating for four, the CC comes with either a turbocharged four-cylinder or a V-6 engine, and all-wheel drive is available. Competitors include the Acura TSX and Volvo S60.


New for 2012

An analog clock and dark wood trim have been added to 2.0T Lux Plus, Lux Limited and VR6 Executive trim levels.
