The Passat CC receives a new wheel design on its Sportline trim line, while the four-cylinder and V6 Highline trim lines can be optioned with a new R-Line package of 18-inch “Mallory” alloy wheels, darkened taillights, and R-Line specific front bumper, side skirts, badging, aluminum door sills, and steering wheel which adds paddle shifters on the four-cylinder with DSG transmission.
The Passat CC is a four-door sedan with coupe-like styling. It is available with a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, mated to a six-speed manual transmission or optional six-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG) in Sportline or Highline trim, and with a 3.6-litre V6 with a six-speed automatic transmission and 4Motion all-wheel drive, in Highline trim only.

The Highline adds 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated leather sport seats, 12-way power passenger seat, driver’s side memory, adaptive bi-xenon headlamps, brushed aluminum interior trim, garage door opener, and panorama vent sunroof.
The Highline V6 adds a power rear sunshade.
The Sportline can be optioned with the panorama vent sunroof, while all models can be optioned with a Technology Package that adds touch-screen navigation, a 30-GB hard drive, rearview camera, and Dynaudio 600-watt digital sound package with ten speakers.
