What's New With the VW CC

The CC arrives in the Camelback Corridor with few changes this model year. The lineup has been streamlined to two trims--CC Sport and the R-Line Executive--both offering the turbo performance and premium features that shoppers are looking for. 2017 Volkswagen CC reviews favor the sporty coupe for its long list of amenities at an affordable price. Take a look at our review below to learn more about what the mid-size sedan has to offer.

Upscale Design

The 2017 Volkswagen CC in Phoenix is notorious for being well-equipped inside and out. The CC Sport is dressed to impress with bi-xenon headlights with LED daytimes, LED taillights, 17-inch alloy wheels and heated side mirrors. The decadent, wood-trimmed cabin is filled to the brim with luxe creature comforts, like leatherette seating, 12-way power-adjustable, heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a touchscreen radio with navigation and a connected car suite. For even more luxury, the R-Line Executive upgrades to 18-inch wheels, and adds ambient lighting, leather upholstery and a power-tilting panoramic sunroof.

Under the Hood

Sporty, sophisticated fun is the Volkswagen CC's specialty, and it has the sport-tuned suspension and powertrain to prove it. A 2.0-liter turbo delivers 200 ponies and 207 lb.-ft. of torque, while the sedan's dual-clutch six-speed automatic with Sport mode kicks up the acceleration even more. Paddle shifters are available for those who prefer to maneuver manually. 2017 Volkswagen CC reviews are impressed by how the CC performs on the road, noting the smooth handling and precise steering which contribute to an overall engaging driving experience.

Safety Features

A rearview camera system, stability and traction control, a post-collision braking system, and a crash response system are all included in the CC's standard equipment. Additionally, the 2017 Volkswagen CC in Phoenix is linked with the Car-Net telematics system with automatic crash notification, stolen vehicle location and roadside assistance. For shoppers looking for driver assistance features, the R-Line Executive model adds additional lane departure warning, forward collision warning and adaptive cruise control.
