Different generations of used Volkswagen CC
In 2008, Volkswagen introduced the Volkswagen CC as a saloon-cum-coupe spin-off of the Passat to compete with rival executive saloons. After a 2012 facelift brought in a restyled grille, nose, headlights and an improved differential, the carmaker finally dropped the Passat badge from the CC's name. With frameless rear windows and a curved roofline, the VW CC looked a lot like a smaller version of the Audi A7. It was also surprisingly quick, achieving a 0-62 mph sprint time between 7.3£9.1 seconds and reaching a maximum speed of 150 mph.
What should you expect to find in a Volkswagen CC?
The first-generation Volkswagen CC only released with 2 trim levels: the standard CC and the CC GT. Features in the entry-level CC-badged trim include:
- 17-inch alloy wheels
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Cloth trim
- Dual-zone climate control
- Sat-nav
- Sports suspension
Among other features that earned the base-trim CC plenty of buyer appeal include Xenon headlights, automatic wipers and a multifunction steering wheel. The GT trim added more extras, like:
- 18-inch wheels
- Adjustable suspension
- Cruise control
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Heated front seats
- Nappa leather trim
- Privacy glass
In November 2013, Volkswagen added the R-Line trim to the CC range. It came with the same standard equipment as the GT, but it had a sportier exterior, a newly designed interior and LED daytime running lights.
