Volkswagen Passat US Test drive since 2011 sedan

Volkswagen Passat CC - bread and spectacles!

I am inclined to consider Passat CC not as the latest independent model in the line, but still as a reincarnation of Passat. And this is due not only to the dense technical kinship of two cars, but also with the obvious need for the rejuvenation of Passata ...
Meal'n'Real! It is in this common expression of the Roman satirist of Juvenal that I would like to conclude the concept of the latest creation from Volkswagen Passat CC.
The formation of the abbreviation of the SS in the peak of the guesses of many stems not from the already familiar phrase Coupe Cabriolet. Of course, one of these two words is guessed correctly, namely the COUPE. But here is the second, alas and ah, not Cabriolet, but just Comfort. You can’t even imagine what my disappointment was when I realized that I would not see Volkswagen Passat Coupe Cabriolet :)
But on the other hand, Volkswagen Passat Coumfort Coupe appeared before me. And all the slightest minor notes dissolved in the air in a matter of moments.
Now I would like to torment you a little reasoning on the topic of bread, leaving the spectacles for dessert.
I am inclined to consider Passat CC not as the latest independent model in the line, but still as a reincarnation of Passat. And this is due not only to the dense technical kinship of two cars, but also with the obvious need for the rejuvenation of Passata, produced since 2005. Yes, the B6 Passat is popular, yes, it is reliable and technically impeccable, but in 4 years without a single restyling managed to become confused and thereby lose attractiveness for a potential buyer. And against the background, honestly, not a very successful Phaeton performance in the Super-Premium segment, the brand as air was needed with pillars from under the tires to fly into the market with something unexpected and unusual brand, thereby stimulating the bored consumer to buy vww .
Here you have the first component of the above formula. The daily bread is, of course, wonderful and without it nowhere, but I propose to start the most interesting spectacles.
And there is really something to admire and applaud. I am not one of those who poke a finger towards Passat CC and peremptorily declare: so they were with Mercedes CLS. After all, one cannot patent the desire to supply the rapid silhouette of the body of the coupe with additional two doors for the convenience of planting and planting the rear passengers. Therefore, I consider all the squabbles on the topic of plagiarism of one German giant according to the model of another German giant. I am generally surprised how Passat CC has become just a second car that carries the concept of a 4-door compartment.
And that this is the compartment, you will definitely not allow you to forget the very exquisite main line of the body, smoothly flowing from the front of the car until its end, going right behind the heads of the rear passengers, slipping through the rear window and dissolving in space, elegantly falling with the upper The edges of the sophisticated spoiler on the trunk lid. All other lines of the body serve to maintain the image of the SS as a confident athlete.
In the bow of our liner, you can observe a sloping hood with obscured ribs that give the front part of the car the effect of movement even in a static state. The head optics is also aimed at maintaining the concept, on the one hand, geometrically echoing the radiator grill, as if dissected into three parts with chrome blades, and on the other, crowning the front of the wings. The front bumper is also in good shape and has three impressive vents of aerodynamic diffusers, integrated turns indicators and fog lights.
Secondly inspecting the car on the side, you begin to capture other equally important design elements. The first tolerate the car is striking: the entire side row of glasses is made in the form of a slightly curved crescent. The glasses are low and due to this they do not overload the profile. Moreover, right under the window line, another important and very muscular element of the body begins the so -called tornado line, or the shoulder line supporting the window duet and smoothly leads to the lower part of the car. By the way, the glasses are produced in the door using a non -ramous design.
Part of the back is the final :) Opens us a magnificent view of a good third of the roof falling to the glass. The neat rear window along the lower edge is emphasized by a glossy plastic insert of black color, fixed already on the lid of the trunk. Of course, the lid of the trunk, which borrowed at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical plane, got a very appropriate spoiler, formed as part of the lid of the trunk. The back optics, as if frozen in motion after confident acceleration, did not lose recognizable elements in the form of rounded elements of the glow, only on the SS they are not even even, but a little under the slope with mild deformation. All this is new with new proprietary disks from VW seventeenth or eighteenth diameter (to choose from a buyer) and we get such a business class sedan with a very boring appearance that provokes fellow citizens, seeing the predatory squint of the headlights from afar, and see over the aerodynamic stream, sliding out From the weightless silhouette of the body.
The appearance of the SS is very spectacular and is unlikely to leave someone indifferent. The interior of the car has much more echoes the already familiar Passat B6 salon. There is already a familiar torpedo, and the central console, and ... it’s easier to talk about what has changed.
The steering wheel received two five -band joysticks on horizontal knitting needles on the left and right, with which it is convenient to control with all the auxiliary and entertainment systems of the car. All modifications of the rudders available for the SS are very beautiful due to decorative design elements and functional due to their architecture with pronounced grip areas. At the sixth generation of the central console, an updated multimedia system with a sensory display, which is optionally able to take on the functions of a conductor (navigation), music storage (hard drive) and a car mini-cinema (TV-DVD), is located. The display also duplicates the settings of the climate system and is remarkably coping with the mobile phone connected via Bluetooth.
A distinctive feature of the Passat CC salon are places for the rear passengers, even if you wish, the three of them are unlikely to sit there. The galleries on the gallery are clearly formed under two riders and, in addition, have a decorative separator inlaid by a small mess.
The rules of the game oblige. And unequivocally: this game will be held with a crushing account in favor of Passata CC. Moreover, in order to become the owner of the latest, stylish and dynamic car, you need to have at least a little more than a million, and more specifically 1,043,600 rubles in your account. If there is a desire to fight tougher and defeat the dry, be prepared to part with 1,880 185 rubles and break the world around you into shreds, saddling the all-wheel drive SS, teleported in the space with a 3.6-liter V6 flavored with DSG!
