Volkswagen Releases CC Dynamic Black Edition in Europe

Volkswagen CC Dynamic Black has been just unveiled. It is a special limited edition series which has a name that speaks of its character a lot. The key word is of course “black” and “dynamic” signifies the untamed nature of the CC model that is highlighted by the featured engine range. This particular model features exclusive design equipment and unfortunately will be driven only on the streets of Europe.

Exterior

The all-black Dynamic Black CC rides on sporty 18-inch “Talladega” alloy wheels and it is equipped with new bi-Xenon headlights and fog lights. Volkswagen has also given it the expressive R-Line package that adds more athletic front bumper.

Interior

The occupants will enjoy Nappa leather seats with decorative stitching in Art Grey. This treatment has been applied for the center armrest and steering wheel as well. VW said that it has also included a new navigation system as a standard.

Powertrain

This special edition CC Dynamic Black can be equipped with the 1.4-liter TSI engine or the 2.0-liter TDI. The first one generates 150 hp (110 kW), while the second can have two output variants – 150 hp (110 kW) and 184 hp (135 kW). The engines can be mated to either the standard six-speed manual or the available seven-speed dual clutch transitions.

Pricing

Volkswagen CC Dynamic Black will be distributed only in Europe, to be more precise – in Germany. It has a starting price of 38,200 euros and is currently available to order.

2013 Volkswagen CC R-Line – Price £29,505

Volkswagen has announced the price list of the 2013 CC R-Line. The R-Line offers even higher level of equipment than standard and GT trims. It also gives the CC a unique styling and appearance.

The R-Line builds on the already generous equipment list of the GT, adding a distinctive R-Line front grille with round fog lights, R-Line front bumper, R-Line logo in the radiator grille, sill extensions, LED daytime running lights and 18″ Mallory alloy wheels. The interior features an R-Line multi-function steering wheel and trim adds a distinctive touch to complete the look. Despite the additional kit, the R-Line commands a premium of just £650 over the equivalent GT, with prices starting at £29,505.

Two engines will be available with R-Line trim – a 2.0 litre 210HP TSI petrol and a 2.0 litre 177HP TDI with BlueMotion Technology which includes battery regeneration and Stop/Start systems. Both engines come with a choice of either a 6-speed manual or smooth-shifting DSG gearbox.

The best-selling model – CC GT 2.0-litre TDI 140HP with either manual or automatic DSG gearbox will now get even better value for money, too. The price is wn by a total of £1,320, thanks to the removal of ACC (Adaptive Chassis Control), which now becomes a £850 option.

The engine range includes 1.8 liter TSI with 160HP and 2.0 litre TSI with 210HP. The diesel range includes 2.0 liter engine with either 140HP or 170HP.

Volkswagen CC R-Line at Leipzig

An auto show in Leipzig (the Auto Mobil International) is dangerously close and automakers are scrambling to get the word out. There, on June the 1st, Volkswagen will introduce the 2013 CC R-Line – hardcore driving action for the four-door coupe type of people.

It’s power will be drawn from a 2.0 liter TSI engine and will amount to 200 horsepower. The transmission for it can be either a six-speed manual or VW’s DSG six-speed dual-clutch engineering piece.

Some specific R Line features include a sporty front bumper with big fog lights on it, an “R” logo on the grille and some side skirts. At the back, in true fast and furious fashion, the taillights are tinted while the mad 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels complete the overall look. Inside, stainless-steel scuff plates bare a revealing engraving “R-Line” and the wheel is all sporty and functional.

As standard equipment, the CC R-Line gets adaptive Bi-Xenon headlights with accompanying LED Daytime Running Lights, LED taillights, LED license-plate lights, clever windshield wipers, climate control, heated power seats, touchscreen/multimedia/surround….iPod/Bluetooth/V-Tex thingy. Really, not a point of interest for a real gear head.

Sales in the US will start at the end of 2012. The price issue remains to be addressed.

2012 Volkswagen Passat CC

The Passat CC was extremely successful vehicle. It featured a unique style both inside and outside at decent price and some of the clients, who wanted Mercedes-Benz CLS went to get Passat CC, because it looked rather the same.

Now however, there is a new version of the 4-door coupe – 2012 Passat CC, which will be officially unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 16.

The new highlights are modified radiator grille, new bi-xenon headlights and topped with a reprofiled bonnet. The bumper is different, too, with a new extra air intake, and silver-coloured winglets that frame the fog lights.

At the rear, the car is completely redesigned, with more emphasis on horizontal lines and a reworking of the characteristic chrome strip. There are new taillights with LEDs and LED numberplate lights.

An interesting thing is that the “Passat” has been dropped from the name. Rather radical idea, but we like it, because this is completely different car.

The standard equipment list is huge, but some of the safety features include driver alert system and front head restraints with four-way adjustment. A lot of option extras are now available – High Beam Assist, Side Assist, ane Assist and adaptive cruise control with City Emergency Braking function; front climate seats with massage function; and an electrically deployed towbar.

The engine range includes 1.8 liter TSI with 160PS and 2.0 litre TSI with 210PS. The diesel range includes 2.0 liter engine with either 140 or 170 PS. All models with 170 PS or more also now get a standard XDS differential, an electronic cross-axle traction control system for improved traction and handling.

The CC will make its world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show before going on sale in the US in early 2012.
