The new Volkswagen CC made its debut last November at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Now, the European market launch of the avant-garde four-door begins with the international driving presentation in Southern France. The new Volkswagen CC will be on the market at the beginning of February. In spring 2012, this Volkswagen will then launch globally, including in America, Russia and Asia.
The CC will be powered by petrol and diesel direct-injection engines. All of the diesels (TDI) are equipped with a Stop/Start system and battery regeneration mode (which recovers braking energy) as standard equipment. All petrol engines also have battery regeneration functionality. The TDI engines have outputs of 140bhp and 170bhp. The third turbodiesel to be offered in the Volkswagen CC is a BlueTDI which also has an output of 140bhp, and which is one of the few engines in the world that already meets the Euro-6 emissions standard that does not take effect until autumn 2014. The petrol engines of the European CC versions develop an impressive 160bhp, 210bhp and 300bhp of power.
