Overview
The 2015 Volkswagen CC Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 4 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $32,995. For that price, it mainly competes with the Honda Accord Sedan, the Kia Optima Sedan, and the Hyundai Sonata Sedan. Between 4 trims, the CC offers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 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. The former engine is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission while a 6-speed dual-clutch automatic is optional. Meanwhile, the V6 engine is coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission as standard. 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. Depending on the powertrain, the CC can manage a combined fuel economy between 20 and 25 mpg. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the CC comes in really pull you towards itself.
