2015 VOLKSWAGEN CC: STYLISH COUPE AND FOUR-DOOR SEDAN
• Choice of 2.0-liter TSI® four-cylinder or 3.6-liter VR6® engines
• R-Line® model features more aggressive styling
• Navigation and rearview camera standard on all four trim lines
• VW Car-Net® connected services available on all trim levelsHerndon, VA – The Volkswagen CC's stylized sweeping roofline, dramatic body detailing, low-to-the-ground stance, and elegant frameless side windows, offers expressive, head-turning coupe-like design for the cost of a traditional sedan. (concept carz)New for 2015
The 2015 CC sees few significant updates, following the addition of standard navigation and VW Car-Net® connected services to all CC models in 2014. The 2015 changes are limited to appearance upgrades including new optional 18-inch St. Louis wheels for the Sport trim and available 18-inch Shanghai pattern for the Executive trim line.Exterior
The design team, led by Klaus Bischoff, head of design for the Volkswagen brand, was the brains behind the CC model's overall look inside and out. At the front of the car, one's eye is drawn to the CC's radiator grille, Bi-Xenon headlights, and hood design, which correspond closely to the clean lines of Volkswagen's 'design DNA'—with an emphasis on horizontal lines and precise harmony between the headlights and radiator grille. Like the Passat, the CC also has an extra air intake in the lower section of the bumper. The foglights are housed inside 'winglets' that are integrated in this intake.
The CC's cabin is as stylish and design-led as its bold exterior. Each CC model features a blend of luxurious materials, rich textures, and intuitive controls. V-Tex Leatherette or leather seating surfaces are offered and are available in both solid and two-tone color schemes. The front seats are heatable and come with standard 12-way power adjustment, including four-way power lumbar and adjustment for height. Electronic seat ventilation is included on the front seats of the VR6 4Motion Executive model.Úp front, a leather-wrapped, three-spoke steering wheel features integrated controls for the CC's multimedia system. The gauges are surrounded by chrome trim, which extends through the CC Sport range, while the CC 2.0T Executive and VR6 models feature either dark brushed aluminum or engineered ebony trim. The R-Line features stainless-steel R-Line scuff plates, and the DSG® equipped model sports paddle shifters on its multifunction steering wheel.All CC models feature the Climatronic® automatic climate control system. Typical of the attention to detail in the CC, the system features a humidity sensor located near the rear-view mirror. This measures air humidity and controls the Climatronic system to help prevent condensation and maintain the relative humidity in the passenger compartment at a pleasant level. Another benefit of the system is that the humidity sensor permits operation of the air conditioning compressor only when needed.A variety of entertainment options are available with the CC. The 2.0T Sport and R-Line come with an RNS 315 touchscreen navigation system, rearview camera, SD memory card reader, and SiriusXM® Satellite Radio with 3-month trial subscription. Bluetooth® connectivity and Media Device Interface (MDI) with an iPod® cable are also standard. The Executive trims have Volkswagen's sophisticated RNS 510 navigation system that features a 6.5-inch color touchscreen, a 30GB hard drive with 18GB of music storage, a three-month trial of SiriusXM Travel Link™, a four-year subscription to SiriusXM Traffic™, and rearview camera display.For the flagship VR6 4Motion model, there's a remarkable Dynaudio® premium sound system, with 10-speakers (four tweeters, two midrange, four woofers) powered by a 600-watt amplifier and Digital Sound Processor (DSP) technology.To add to the versatility and flexibility of the CC, the rear seatback is split 60/40 and folds forward to connect the trunk to the cabin to increase load space. There's also a pass-through behind the armrest to accommodate longer items, like skis. Another interior feature is remote latching for the rear seatback. Levers mounted under the rear shelf on the right and left sides of the trunk make it easy to unlatch both sections of the split seatback. The trunk itself has a capacity of 13.2 cubic feet.Engines and Transmissions
The CC features the award-winning, 2.0-liter turbocharged and direct-injected TSI® four-cylinder engine that generates 200 horsepower and the 3.6-liter narrow-angle VR6 engine that produces 280 horsepower.All 2.0-liter models are front-wheel drive. The 2.0-liter engine is mated to either a six-speed manual or a six-speed DSG® dual-clutch automatic transmission. (posted on conceptcarz.com) The six-speed transversely-mounted DSG unit features two wet clutches with hydraulic pressure regulation. One clutch controls the 'odd' gears—first, third, fifth, and reverse—while the other operates the even gears. With DSG, the set-up allows the next-higher gear to be engaged, but remain on standby until it is actually selected. In other words, if the CC is being driven in third gear, fourth is selected but not yet activated. As soon as the ideal shift point is reached, the clutch on the third-gear side opens, the other clutch closes and fourth gear engages under accurate electronic supervision.Since the opening and closing actions of the two clutches overlap, a smooth gearshift results and the entire shift process is completed in less than four-hundredths of a second. In addition to its fully automatic shift mode, DSG has a Tiptronic® function to permit manual gear selection. Mated to the manual transmission, the 2.0T achieves EPA estimated fuel economy of 21 mpg city and 32 mpg highway.The VR6 engine is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with Tiptronic shifting and paddle shifters, driving through all four wheels. Producing 265 lb-ft of torque, the 3.6-liter VR6 offers refined, responsive performance. The EPA estimated fuel economy numbers are 17 mpg city and 25 mpg highway.Suspension
All 2014 CC models are equipped with a sport-tuned suspension to satisfy the driver looking for lively, involving handling coupled with a smooth, comfortable ride for daily driving.
4MOTION® all-wheel drive
The flagship CC model comes standard with Volkswagen's proven 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system for even more dynamic handling and nearly all-weather traction.The system delivers drive to all four wheels without any buttons to press or levers to pull. A Haldex® center differential can continuously vary the drive force between the front and rear axles depending on the traction available. When accelerating hard from standstill, for example, front-wheel slip is prevented by the system's ability to direct nearly 100 percent of the drive torque to the rear wheels. The 4MOTION system also helps provide sure-footed traction over virtually all surfaces, as well as optimum straight-line stability, even in crosswinds. Safety and Security
Safety and security in the CC starts with a strong, rigid, laser-seam-welded bodyshell and crash-optimized, energy-absorbing front end. For those inside, there's the protection of a suite of airbags that includes front and side thorax airbags from the driver and front seat passenger, and Side Curtain Protection® head airbags for those in both the front and rear seats. Three-point safety belts have belt-force limiters for all the seats.The CC also features include front head restraints that adjust fore-and-aft as well as up-and-down. In this design, the head restraint can be pulled forward and, because it lies closer to the head, further helps reduce the risk of whiplash in a crash.A number of aids and enhancements work seamlessly with the CC's drivetrain and suspension to help get the car and its occupants to their destination safely. They include Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR), Electronic Differential Lock (EDL), and Engine Braking Assist (EBA).Every CC also includes the advanced Volkswagen Intelligent Crash Response System that shuts off the fuel pump, unlocks the doors, and switches on the hazard warning lights if the car is involved in certain types of collisionsScheduled Maintenance
For real peace of mind, the CC, like every 2015 Volkswagen, is covered under the Carefree Maintenance® Program at no additional charge. The first scheduled maintenance service is covered for one year or 10,000 miles, whichever occurs first.Model Line-up
