Cons: Stiff ride in R-Line model; rear-seat room, especially in center position; acceleration not as smooth as in most rivals[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_column_text]CG Says: For 2017, a manual transmission and a V6 engine are no longer available for the Volkswagen CC. The sole drivetrain is a 200-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed automated-manual transmission. All CCs have front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive has also been discontinued. Forward-collision warning with autonomous emergency braking and lane-departure warning are now standard on the topline 2.0T R-Line Executive trim. CC is a premium midsize four-door sedan, even though Volkswagen calls it a “coupe” because of its low, sloping roofline. CC is based on the Volkswagen Passat. Available features include steering-linked headlights, panoramic sunroof, and adaptive cruise control. The CC appeals for its strong and refined turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, impressive ride (R-Line excepted), solid handling, top-notch interior design, and standout looks. Good 4-cylinder fuel economy and pricing that undercuts most premium-midsize rivals are added bonuses. If you’re willing to sacrifice some passenger-hauling versatility for the sake of style, the CC is a compelling choice.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][mk_content_box heading=”The Facts”][mk_table el_class=”new-review-specs”]
