2013 volkswagen cc review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Enter the volkswagen cc. Those who argue the case for a coupe with more than two doors claim the term really refers to a car's roofline, which is low and sleek. Using this argument, the cc delivers. Unfortunately, its chic styling takes its toll on practicality. The low roofline makes for greatly reduced rear headroom, and the cabin generally has a less spacious feel all around. Volkswagen says the old seating arrangement was a top reason many shoppers failed to purchase the cc. the 2013 volkswagen cc lineup includes two new trim levels: a 2. 0t sport plus with 18-inch wheels and navigation and a vr6 lux model that comes with leather upholstery, navigation with 6. 5-inch touchscreen, rearview camera, heated headlight washer system, and memory function for seating and mirrors. as with most volkswagens, the cc interior design is stylish, yet simple, with high-quality materials. The cabin feels racy due to the steeply raked windshield and distant dash. It's cozy inside and there isn't as much front legroom as in the acura tsx, nissan maxima or lexus is. The rear bucket seats accommodate just two in cozy comfort with decent legroom but limited headroom. It uses front-wheel drive and is available with a choice of 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic direct shift gearbox. volkswagen cc vr6 models use a 3. 6-liter v6 rated at 280 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. An all-wheel drive version of the vr6 is available, but is pricey. volkswagen cc comes standard with front-wheel drive, and 4motion all-wheel drive is available for slippery conditions. the 2013 volkswagen cc walks the line between affordable family sedan and entry-level luxury car. The 6-speed manual and dual-clutch dsg automatic transmissions are available. The r line goes on sale early in 2013. volkswagen cc vr6 lux 37,730) is front-wheel drive and uses a 280-hp, 3. 6-liter vr6 engine mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Vr6 lux includes everything on the 2. 0t lux plus different 18-inch wheels, rearview camera, heated headlight washer system, leather upholstery, memory function for seating and mirrors and navigation with 6. 5-inch touchscreen. volkswagen cc vr6 4motion executive 41,420) adds all-wheel drive and includes everything found on the vr6 lux plus park distance control with front and rear proximity sensors, power rear sunshade paddle shifters, ventilated front seats, driver's seat with massage function, and an upgraded dynaudio premium sound system. safety equipment includes six airbags (frontal, side front and full curtain), advanced stability control with abs, tire pressure monitoring system. 4motion can enhance safety in adverse conditions. The optional rearview camera can help the driver spot a child behind the vehicle when backing up. walkaroundthe refreshed exterior for 2013 incorporates stronger volkswagen styling cues, yet the volkswagen cc still looks like an expensive european luxury car. The new front bumper, headlights, and radiator grille use cleaner lines and geometric shapes. As with the passat, the cc also has an extra air intake beneath the bumper with foglights housed inside. new headlights are bi-xenon and use integrated led daytime running lights. Also standard is the adaptive front-lighting system (afs), which turns the headlamps for visibility around corners. the 2013 volkswagen cc's rear bumper has increased in volume. New tail lamps and license plate lighting use led bulbs. from the side, the cc's c-pillar is wide but barely visible because it flows back, not down. Although it shares its underpinnings with the passat, the cc is shorter, wider and lower. And the cc's roofline is sleek and swept back as if the car were racing into a 200-mph wind. interiorfrom the driver's seat, the cabin of the 2013 volkswagen cc feels like a luxury sports car. The windshield is steeply raked, the doorsill is high and the seat is seat low. Visibility out front is good. It's not bad out the rear either, although the tall headrests don't help. Blind spots from the wide c-pillars are reduced by fixed triangular rear door windows behind the passengers' ears, which are close to the steeply sloping roofline. the instrument panel feels far away, because it's not very vertical. The analog clock carries over for 2013. according to volkswagen, one of the biggest reasons shoppers avoided purchasing the cc was because it could only accommodate two passengers in back. That said, the slightly higher cushion, combined with the steeply raked roofline, means only children and petite, svelte adults make for a good fifth passenger. On the plus side, there's a decent but not sumptuous 37. 3 inches of rear legroom. the leatherette upholstery is soft and supple, and could almost pass for real leather. On cars equipped with two-toned leather interior, the execution is sporty, yet tasteful. the trunk is on the smaller end of the class but usable. Behind the armrest is a pass-through hatch to the trunk for skis and such. driving impressionthe turbocharged 2. 0-liter engine shoots the car forward impressively, and the volkswagen cc is as quick, smooth and satisfying as just about any v6 in any sedan: the volkswagen cc can accelerate 0-60 mph in 7. 4 seconds. It's nearly as quick with the 2. 0-liter as the vr6, only 0. 1 second slower in the quarter-mile. the 2. 0-liter turbo is rated at 200 hp at 5100 rpm and 207 pound-feet of torque at 1700 rpm. The engine features variable valve timing and direct injection, in addition to the turbocharger and intercooler. fuel economy for the 2. 0-liter engine is epa-rated at 21/31 city/highway, which is what we got with more than 50 percent highway driving, including some rapid two-lane transit. Premium fuel is recommended. we found the highway ride smooth and solid, firm but not harsh. It isn't a high-performance car, but it's lighter than the maxima or lexus is. The overall handling is not particularly crisp, but the turn-in is sharp enough. Climate Control✔ Bucket Seats✔ Cruise Control✔ CD Changer✔ Bluetooth✔ Sunroof/Moonroof✔ Alloy Wheels
