Volkswagen’s four-door CC provides a more style-focused alternative to the brand’s Passat sedan, which offers more passenger room. Available with a turbo four-cylinder or a V-6 engine, the CC can have front- or all-wheel drive. Competitors include the Acura TLX, Nissan Maxima and Buick Regal.

There’s a new 2.0T base model, and the 2.0T Sport and 2.0T R-Line trim levels gain keyless access with push-button start and a post-collision braking system designed to reduce the chance of a secondary collision.

Mercedes looks for VW price

I really like the way my CC handles the curves up in the mountains. The turbo four has all the power I need and the gas mileage in town is surprisingly good. The looks are what sold me in the first place. I catch myself looking over my shoulder to get a glance as I walk away.

5.0

I love this car. Economic in gas and powerfully

Really cheap in gas but really powerfully with the turbocharged engine. A really good morning election. Sport car but at the same time elegantly. I love it

4.4

Most reliable car you can own. Very low mileage.

This car meets of my needs. Heated seats, very low mileage only 33 thousand mile, leather power seats. Excellent condition. I recommend this car to everyone.
