Volkswagen Passat CC 2010 Saudi Arabia Prices & Specs

Attempting to cash in on the four-door 'coupe' craze, Volkswagen jumped into the ring with their ill-conceived Passat CC. While 'CC' stands for 'Comfort Coupe,' there isn't much different from the standard Passat, except for a slightly-deformed exterior and a reduction in headroom. Priced to fail between the standard Passat and the large Phaeton, the Passat CC utilises a common platform with the Passat, including the same engines, mechanicals and interior components. The sporty looks are betrayed by its standard engine choices, which include a 1.8-litre and a 2.0-litre, with a manual or DSG automanual. Both TSI engines are turbocharged 4-cylinder units. By 2010, we believe VW dropped the 1.8-litre and introduced the 3.6-litre V6 with all-wheel-drive and a 6-speed automanual. Features include fabric or leather upholstery in various colours, sports seats, common power accessories, 17-inch alloy wheels, adaptive suspension, electrically-adjustable driver's seat, auto-dimming mirror, 'Press & Drive' starter with keyless entry, front and curtain airbags for front and rear passengers including side airbags, electric parking brake with hill-hold control, stability control, ABS, rain-sensing wipers, tyre pressure monitor and more. Options include various wood and aluminium cabin trims, automatic a/c, cruise control, reverse camera, Xenon headlights with bending feature, 18-inch wheels, panoramic sunroof, and various stereo options that include CD/MP3, Bluetooth phone, six-disc changer and AUX inputs. Park Assist, Automatic Distance Control and Lane Assist features are also optionally available. Incidentally, local VW dealers now call it the 'Volkswagen CC' because they feel their customers are too dumb to differentiate between this and the regular Passat.
