The 2013 Volkswagen CC Unveiled

Upgraded and refreshed, the 2013 Volkswagen CC is ready to impress the world with its alluring qualities, many of which come as standard features. The four-door sedan now rides on new 17- and 18-inch wheels, has LED daytime running lamps and tail lamps, and can seat four or five passengers. The five-passenger configuration is optional and it includes an extra set of seat belts for the middle passenger.

Powering the new CC is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder capable of 200 hp and coupled with a six speed dual clutch or six-speed manual. If you opt for this powertrain, you also get a front-wheel drive. If you go with the 3.6-liter 6-cylinder with 280 hp and a six-speed automatic, you can choose between the standard front wheel drive and the automaker’s 4motion all-wheel drive. The car will appear in showrooms sometime in the first quarter of 2012. No word on its price yet.
