The Volkswagen Passat CC (also known as the Volkswagen CC in the United States and South Africa) is a 4-door coupé version of the Volkswagen Passat. It debuted in January 2008 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The suffix CC stands for Comfort Coupé and the car is marketed by VW as a more luxurious vehicle than the standard Passat saloon (automobile).
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 longer (+ 27 mm (1.06 in)), lower (− 50 mm (1.97 in)) and wider (+ 36 mm (1.42 in)) than the Passat.
Volkswagen has ambitions of selling 300,000 units over a period of seven years. The company expects that 60% of these sales (about 26,000 units per year) will come from the US market. Pricing will start at $27,100 for the sport trim level and range to greater than $40,000 for the VR6 4Motion trim level.
In China, the CC was released by FAW-VW on July 15, 2010, and is available in 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI trims.
The car rests on a 2,711 mm (106.7 in) wheelbase and is, for the time being, available with a 1.4 litre E85 TFSI (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 and with a 3.6-litre VR6 engine (220 kW (299 PS; 295 hp)) with 4motion four-wheel drive and a 6-speed twin-clutch Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG).
