Volkswagen CC facelift

Mid-Size Sedan

Product Overview

Volkswagen CC facelift is a mid-size sedan in production from 2012 to 2016. It was available with a range of inline-4 and VR6 engines that displaced 1.4 to 3.6 liters.

Compared to the Passat CC, which is the pre-facelift moniker, the CC has marginal exterior changes. Most of the real updates could be found in the engine bay, where newer engines are forced to abide by more stringent emission requirements. Unfortunately, the horrible DSG continued to be offered.
