    2012 Volkswagen CC Highline Review and Road Test

    When small SUVs began being called ‘crossovers’, a new trend was being ushered in to the automotive landscape. We may not have known it then, but soon the ‘crossover’ segment would become one of the most ambiguous terms in the automotive world.

    First Drive: 2013 Volkswagen CC

    011 was a very good year for Volkswagen – sales worldwide were up 13.1 per cent (to 5.1 million units), up 22.2 per cent in North America (to 496,700 units) and up in Canada by 15.8 per cent (to 52,604 units). Most of the gains came from sales of Volkswagen’s North American-built Jetta, with sales up 85 per cent in Canada in 2011 over 2010.

    Volkswagen’s CC moves forth on its own

    The Passat CC, the one car that lost its title of largest German sedan, now has a life of its own. One must admit the similarities between the Passat and Passat CC were not instinctive from the get go; now that the CC has been remodelled, they are even less.

    2013 Volkswagen CC First Impressions

    Volkswagen has positioned the CC as a four-door Euro coupe, so what better place than Nice, France, to launch the 2013 version, which projects revised front and rear styling along with engines that have gained further efficiency.

    Preview: 2013 Volkswagen CC offers ‘comfort’ and ‘sport’ modes, depending on your day

    Nice, France • When the Volkswagen Passat CC debuted four years ago, it did so as the lone “couped” sedan in the affordable segment. For 2013, VW has sharpened its looks. It was already a snappy looker, it is now more so. In somewhat of an about-face, the rest of the world is following Canada’s lead; henceforth, it will be known as just CC, something VW Canada changed in 2010.

    2011 Volkswagen CC Highline Review

    Let me tell you a secret: when Volkswagen decided to launch the Passat CC a couple of years ago, I seriously doubted such a model could survive. And quite honestly, until I actually slipped behind the wheel, I still had doubts – and I’m not sure they’ve all been put to rest.

    Volkswagen CC one of the nicest-looking cars on the road

    Although it’s based on the same platform as the Passat, the Volkswagen CC is clearly a horse of a different colour. Different body treatment, different interior, different passenger layout, different marketing approach.

    2011 Volkswagen Passat CC - Passat CC walks the elegant coupe path

    It’s been a couple model years since Volkswagen’s Passat CC first went on sale, and in terms of styling, it still has few competitors.

    The ‘four-door coupe’ segment is growing, albeit slowly, and just like we mentioned in our review of the same vehicle a couple years back, the Passat CC is still a much less expensive choice than other options like the Porsche Panamera, Mercedes-Benz CLS, and new Audi A7.
