The Volkswagen Passat CC (also known as the Volkswagen CC in the United States)[1] is a 4-door coupé version of the Volkswagen Passat. It debuted in January 2008 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The suffix CC stands for Comfort Coupé and the car is marketed by VW as a more luxurious vehicle than the standard Passat saloon.[2]
The Passat CC falls between the Passat and the Phaeton in VW's range — while based on the Passat, and sharing its wheelbase, the CC is longer (+ 27 mm (1.06 in)), lower (− 50 mm (1.97 in)) and wider (+ 36 mm (1.42 in)) than the Passat.
