Overview

The 2014 Volkswagen CC Sedan is a compact sedan offered in 4 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $32,495. For that price, it indirectly competes with the Lexus IS 350 and the Cadillac ATS Sedan. Between 4 trims, the CC offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L Turbocharged Inline 4 engine capable of making 200 horsepower and 207 lb-ft of torque. If more power is required, there is also a 280 horsepower-making 3.6L V6 engine. There is a choice between a 6-Speed automatic transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission except on the Executive trim. The CC reaches 60 mph from zero in 7.0 seconds on its base engine, which gets pumped up to 6.8 seconds with the 3.6L V6 engine. Depending on the powertrain, the CC can manage a combined fuel economy between 25 and 20 mpg. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the CC comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The 2014 Volkswagen CC offers 4 trim levels and 2 powertrains. If you're looking for a bang for the buck, we'd recommend the base sport trim level. This trim offers a long list of standard features and includes quite a bit of luxurious features such as heated eight-way power front seats with four-way lumbar, leatherette premium vinyl upholstery, and a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel.
