Volkswagen Passat CC

The new Volkswagen Passat CC is a four-seat hatchback coupe that measures 4.8 meters and derived directly from the Volkswagen Passat. Its design and architecture is similar to the Mercedes-Benz CLS. It incorporates the most advanced technology systems driving aid as the Lane Assist (lane keeping assistant) or DCC (electronic adaptive suspension).

The new Volkswagen Passat CC is available with two petrol engines: a 1.8 TSI with 160 hp, a 2.0 TSI 200 PS and 3.6 FSI V6 4MOTION 300 PS, and two diesel: a 2.0 TDI 140 PS common rail, which longer meets the demanding Euro 5 emissions standard which comes into effect from autumn 2009 and a 2.0 TDI with 170 hp at the moment he joined the range.

The first gasoline engines of the Passat CC is the TSI that generates 160 hp at 5,000 rpm regime. The balance between consumption and performance is perfect because in the first paragraph, this turbocharged engine offers an average fuel consumption of 7.6 liters per 100 km while its torque is high as it stands at 250 Nm at 1,500 rpm and . Equipped with this engine, the Passat CC may reach 100 km / hour in 8.6 seconds and reach a top speed of 222 km / hour. The gearbox is fitted as standard six-speed manual and later may be combined with the new DSG 7
speeds.

The second petrol engine is turbocharged 200 hp that generates a maximum torque of 280 Nm at 1,800 rpm. Its benefits include speed and acceleration as it can reach a peak of 237 km / h and accelerates from 0 to 100 in 7.6 seconds while consumption does not go beyond 7.9 liters per 100 kilometers in combined cycle . This engine is complemented by a gearbox six-speed manual but can also be purchased with the optional automatic gearbox the same number of gears.

The most sophisticated and powerful motor between the gasoline is the 6 cylinder 3.6 liter that generates 300 hp at 6,600 rpm and high torque of 350 Nm at 2,400 rpm. Its speed reaches 250 km / hr being electronically limited and acceleration from 0 to 100 breaks the barrier of six seconds to be in a enviable 5.6. This engine is complemented by a DSG gearbox and transmits its power to all 4 wheels through the 4Motion system, a device that has been optimized and enhanced for this model.


The 2.0 TDI engine with 170 hp common rail, equipped with diesel particulate filter offers maximum torque of 350 Nm at just 1,750 rpm and can reach to 227 km / h combined with manual gearbox, (224 km / h when coupled with the DSG gearbox). Likewise, the Passat CC TDI achieves 170 hp in just 8.6 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / hour.

This high level of performance is combined perfectly with the concepts of savings and low emissions typical of Volkswagen TDI engines, as the combined consumption does not exceed the 6.1 liters per hundred kilometers and emissions are reduced to 159 g / km of CO2, so the savings go beyond the low-power and is benefited by the tax bracket of 4.75%.


The Volkswagen Passat CC 2.0 TDI 140 hp consumes only 5.8 liters and has a top speed of 213 km / h. The Volkswagen Passat CC 1.8 TSI, which reaches a speed of 222 km / h and consumes on average only 7, 6 liters. The Volkswagen Passat CC 3.6 FSI V6 4MOTION (300 bhp) has a top speed (electronically limited) of 250 km / h and has an average consumption of 10.1 liters. This series incorporates the new generation of drive system 4MOTION all-wheel drive, electronic DCC adaptive suspension and the efficient DSG dual-clutch shift 6-speed.

Innovative Technology
Support systems to drive the Passat CC are as innovative as its propulsion technologies. For the first time in a Volkswagen joins the lane keeping assistant "Lane Assist" and new DCC adaptive suspension electronics.

The system performs a contraviraje Lane Assist as soon as it detects the possibility that the Volkswagen Passat CC leave the lane spontaneously, resulting in a gain in safety and comfort. This system is deactivated if the driver turns on the blinker to indicate an unintended lane change.

The DCC adaptive suspension system electronically, helping to combine the sportiness of a coupé with the comfort of a saloon. DCC not only controls the vehicle's suspension, but also its electromechanical steering. This system offers three "Normal", "Sport" and "Comfort". Decisive is, however, that the suspension is continually adapted to the road and the driving situation and continuously improving dynamism and comfort.

Other examples of technology that incorporates are the parking assistance system, "Park Assist" and the system of automatic regulation of speed shortening ACC with braking distance "Front Assist". This system automatically brakes and accelerates within a speed range preset by the driver (from 0 to 210 km / h). Thanks to "Front Assist" will reduce the chance of rear-end collisions. This system prepares the brakes to act preemptively in certain situations as well as shortening system of the braking distance (AWV). The system "Front Assist" notifies the driver via visual and audible out of dangerous situations. Also, if the safety distance is shortened, the system will brake the Volkswagen Passat CC, in extreme cases will even complete stop ( "Follow-to-Stop"). This wizard will however not release the driver to act on the hazard.

Exclusive details
The Volkswagen Passat CC offers a new electrically operated panoramic sunroof that extends from the A-pillars to the B-pillars, and can be raised to 40 mm. The transparent roof has a length of 750 mm and a width of 1,120 mm and completely covering the front area to the pillars.

The Volkswagen Passat CC has plenty of space for two rear seats. Thus, the conditions are equal between the driver and his companion and the two passengers who occupy the rear individual seats. The rear seats offer ergonomically optimized support the sides and backs. Among the standard equipment also includes a central armrest and an additional air-conditioned compartment. When this is contained elongated objects can be placed like water skis. The trunk's cargo volume is 535 liters (455 with spare wheel). The rear window features as an option, a curtain of electric drive and additional equipment from the vehicle are tinted glass for rear window and rear seats that have a capacity of light absorption of 65%.


The Volkswagen Passat CC offers standard with a multifunction sports steering wheel, leather-lined, and in the case of automatic units, with built-in cams. The three-spoke steering wheel is lower and has a dual role with an integrated metal application. Depending on the version of this model, the steering wheel can control the trip computer, some systems, driver assistance, audio and phone. On vehicles with automatic transmission can upshift and downshift by cams located on the sides of the side arms of the wheel. Also new is the button that triggers the suspension electrical adapter, which is located to the right of the handle of the lever.


Among the small details that attract attention by example is the unique trajectory of the lateral lunettes in the frameless coupé doors, that you can not wind any attack surface. It also highlights the role of climate control seats (heated seat active), so far unique to the Volkswagen Phaeton. The Climatronic automatic climate control, whose appearance has now been integrated into the navigation system screen is also completely new.

Active air conditioning system
With respect to options, stands out as new to the whole range, incorporation of active cooling system for the front seats that provides a great feeling of comfort and quality. This system is activated by a knob on the side of the seat and allows stepless regulation of the two radial fans motors embedded in it. The active cooling uses air from inside the vehicle is very quiet and does move up to 250 liters of air per m2 per minute.

Furthermore, the model 18-inch wheels "Interlagos" can be ordered from now in brushed aluminum finish, in addition to finishing "sterling silver" offered so far.


Another novelty are the instruments redesigned chrome. Moreover, as in the Phaeton, the dashboard is illuminated with white light.

The new Volkswagen Passat CC also includes a new multimedia entry "Media-In". Through this interface is possible to integrate the iPod and other MP3 players as standard or the DVD. The connector is located in the glovebox and controlled via radio navigator. Also as an additional feature on the screen are the titles of the recordings.

The navigation system and radio is also a prominent feature of the Passat CC as it is the sophisticated RNS 510 touch screen and intuitive navigation system that works with hard drives. It can also be combined as an option with the device for rear view camera for parking, that when driving in reverse gives the browser screen images captured by a camera later.


It also has special tires with puncture protection (mobility tire) Continental brand, first used in a Volkswagen and available as standard with all engine versions of the Volkswagen Passat CC. By the technique ContiSea the German manufacturer has developed a system which enables to continue driving even after a nail or the like from entering the wheel. In that case, and immediately, spans the inner surface of the tread and a protective layer that seals the hole in the foreign body so that air can not escape. The seal is suitable for almost any type of leak caused by objects up to 5 mm in diameter. Thus, it is possible to avoid approx. 85% of the common punctures.
