Volkswagen Passat CC 2012

The 2012 Volkswagen Passat CC takes the four-door coupe route, and ends up looking very stylish indeed. While the sedan can be described as understated at best, the 2012 Volkswagen Passat CC looks sleek and elegant in equal parts. As every single outer panel found on the sedan has been replaced, Volkswagen was able to draw up a completely different design—one boasting a more wedge-shaped profile, complemented by stylish lines, elegant contours, and a curvaceous roofline.

 

Compared to its predecessor, the entire area of the new front bumper, headlights and radiator grille exhibits clean lines that comply with VW design housestyle.The cabin of the four-door coupé features a new air conditioner control panel and ambient lighting lends an elegant look to the interior at night, with lighting strips integrated into the fine wood or metallic accents in the doors.

The 1.8-litre TSI engine, which produces 160PS and 250Nm of torque, is mated to a fast shifting seven-speed Direct Shift Gearbox.This combination allows the car to accelerate from 0 to100kph in a decent 8.5 seconds. Top speed is 223kph.

Safety and comfort equipment are improved over those in the older model, featuring a new system known as “Rest Assist” that can detect driver fatigue.The CC comes with six airbags and this is complemented by electronic stability programme, anti-lock braking system and brake assist. Additionally, the car comes equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system, rain sensor and auto dimming rear view mirror.

The fully imported CC is available in Candy White, Light Brown Metallic, Black Oak Brown Metallic, Reflex Silver Metallic, Icelandic Grey Pearl and Deep Black Pearl and sells for RM226,967.20 for the Comfort version and RM244,967.20 for the Sport version (OTR without insurance).
