Volkswagen Passat CC test drive since 2009 sedan
Volkswagen Passat CC. More than Passat
The restyled Passat CC last in the VW line received a new corporate uniform. What did this affect, in addition to the registration to the price tag of the model of extra hundreds of thousands of rubles?

Volkswagen Passat CC. Price: from 1 108 000 p. On sale: since April 2012
In Russia, the Volkswagen sedan with a low roof is in excellent demand: the so -called four -door compartment accounts for about a third of all the passats sold in our country! What is the reason for such popularity? First of all, in the fact that VW is one of the few manufacturers who offers a similar model in a price range from one to two million rubles. In addition, in the c-ts there is no familiar passato spirit of a car from a corporate fleet, as if it had been blown away with a draft through lowered frameless glass of doors. But, most importantly, at comparable prices comparable with a regular Passat, a four -door compartment looks more elegant and more expensive.
However, this is the high cost. Everything seems to be good, but the times were the times when VW was an example of imitation for competitors. Since then, competitors have gone ahead, and now it’s just right to take an example from them how to save on soft plastic decorations: after all, now, even in C-class, a hard bottom of a torpedo is less and less, but here without five minutes a business class. Not solid. Speak, the equipment has become richer? Yes, the resting Passat CC received new bixenon headlights, and with them LED running lights and rear lights, and this is perhaps the most important and noticeable acquisition of the model. And the fact that the car can now park on its own and automatically slow down with the threat of a collision (when ordering the appropriate options), so now you will not surprise anyone.
Passat CC Feet Non -Right Wagons of Doors
On the go, the c-chaus also does not surprise. The neutral nature of the chassis settings will appeal to most car owners. The productivity of the steering wheel amplifier is selected in such a way that you simply do not notice its work, while the car quickly carries out the command to quickly rebuild from the row in a row. The peculiarity of Volkswagen Passat CC is that even in the sports mode of the DCC active suspension, it remains very comfortable, which goes well with the calm character of the 152 -horsepower gasoline 1.8 TSI. I want more drive? Take a car with a 170 -horsepower turbodiesel and enjoy pleasant overloads that accompany each press on the gas pedal. But the sound of a diesel engine does not caress the hearing. Therefore, we recommend motor audiophiles a 3.6 -litar V6 with a capacity of 300 hp. With it, the car sounds (and accelerates) no worse than a thoroughbred supercar. By the way, to buyers of ordinary passats, such an engine, which is paired with an all -wheel drive transmission, is not available. So this is another argument in favor of the CC version.
From 152 to 300
In Russia, the updated VW Passat CC is available with 1.8TSI gasoline turbo engines (152 hp) and 2.0 TSI (210 hp), as well as atmospheric V6 3.6 (300 hp). All units, except 1.8TSI, are regularly equipped with a DSG robotic box, and a 6 -cylinder version as a free application also receives a 4Motion all -wheel drive. There is only one 2.0TDI diesel (170 hp), working with a 6 -speed DSG. The standard equipment of the model includes 6 eirbegs, ABS with ESP, an audio system with a CD changer, a 2-zone climate control, heating of the front seats and mirrors, bixenon headlights, foglights, alloy wheels 235/45R17 and much more.
Walking lights and rear lights on LEDs are included in the standard equipment
VERDICT
The SS version is largely superior to the classic Passat. This model looks brighter, better equipped in the database and can be equipped with a 300 -horsepower engine with all -wheel drive. The only thing the SS is inferior to its namesake is in practicality. However, the choice of Passat CC is the case when practicality fades into the background.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
+Stylish appearance, rich basic equipment, high level of comfort, good handling.
-The burning plastic trim, the rear sofa for only two riders, the absence of tangible changes compared to the dorestyling version.
Driving
Over the years, VW designers brought the parameters of the Passatovsky chassis to the reference ones. Perhaps that is why during the ride I did not think about the settings of the steering wheel and suspension amplifier or the clarity of the work box.
Salon
Soft plastic covers only the top of the torpedo, nevertheless, the interior looks richly. Double rear series of seats is a sign of a real limousine.
Comfort
Shock absorbers are perfectly cushioning, and modified noise insulation perfectly extinguishes noise.
Security
In Euro NCAP they did not beat CC, but the usual Passat received 5 stars. The standard equipment of the model includes 6 eirbags and ESP.
Price
Compared to the Passat CC dorestyle, almost 100,000 rubles have risen in price. Nevertheless, the car costs its money.
