Welcome to the new VW CC! VW don’t want you to call it the Passat CC They are trying to get it closer to the Phaeton Which doesn’t make any sense, since the interior is exactly the same as in a Passat But it is a bit bigger than the old one But the difference isn’t big enough to give it a different name It did get a nosejob! It now looks like the latest VW models And we are the first dutch reviewers to drive it! The fact we are the first has everything to do with the engine This is the 3.6 FSI from the previous CC and the R36 It has 300 BHP, like in those models It has a great sound. When you hear it coming, it sounds a bit like a R32 But is is kind of old..But you never notice it, thanks to the smoothness When you search for competitors, you’ll take a look at other VAG models Like to A5 sportback 3.0 TFSI and the S5 And than you can see it is right in between those two models The A5 has 272 BHP, which is 30 less.. That one starts at 60k And the S5 has 333 BHP, which is 33 more. And it costs 77k So you can conclude that VAG really pinpoint their poweroutputs so they don’t compete with eachother And that’s what bothers me The looks have been changed It has the new VW nose The lines of the car have been tightened But I think the previous CC was better looking, and a bit more exiting. It also was more different to other VW’s This model has VW “AdRenaline” stickers With VW “R” logo’s Lets put them to the test! This press model has got tons of options they cost 10k like an adjustable suspension which has three settings: comfort, normal and sport The system really doesn’t make that much difference In comfort it is very comfortable but it bounces at short bumps In Sport it is pretty tight, but not what you’d call sporty The power steering gets heavier But it is just too heavy. When there’s a fast corner you really have to pull it That’s not nice.. It’s starting to sound like I don’t like this car But that’s not the case I only think it should have been more different to the previous CC I just expected more.. But eventually you get a very good car with a brilliant 300 BHP V6 for 72k Which is nice and introvert I think this is the perfect car for people who can’t be seen in a Golf R
