Overview
The 2016 Volkswagen CC Sedan is a midsize sedan offered in 5 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $31,570. For that price, it mainly competes with the Toyota Camry Sedan, the Kia Optima Sedan, and the Hyundai Sonata Sedan. Between 5 trims, the CCoffers 2 powertrains. The base engine is a 2.0L Turbo 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 by default but can be attached to an optional six-speed automated manual transmission as well. Meanwhile, the latter engine is coupled with a 6-speed automatic transmission. 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 7 striking colors the CC comes in really pull you towards itself.
