Volkswagen CC cars

What types of used Volkswagen CC cars are there?

The Volkswagen CC (2008-2017) was a relatively short-lived model but left a long-lasting legacy that helped pave the way for the newer Arteon model. 

VW kept it simple by offering two trims: standard CC and sportier CC GT.

What features does the Volkswagen CC have?

The CC is available in two different trims: regular CC, and top-spec CC GT. 

Both versions get an upmarket chrome grille and LED daytime running lights incorporated into piercing bi-xenon headlamps. This, with its sweeping, stylish roofline, makes it quite the catch. 

The top-spec CC GT model gets a soft Nappa leather interior and a clock sourced from the Bentley-rivalling Volkswagen Phaeton. You also get larger 18-inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, cruise control as well as front and rear parking sensors.  

The entry-level CC is far from sparse, coming with slightly smaller 17-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth, a DAB radio, automatic wipers, front sports seats and dual-zone air-con. What more could you possibly need from your luxury cruiser? 

Is the Volkswagen CC reliable?

Volkswagen has a solid track record when it comes to reliability, thanks to engineers who know a thing or two about designing and building a car.  

Since the CC was discontinued in 2017, you won’t be able to benefit from its two-year manufacturer's warranty from factory, but what about cinchCare? Adding this means your used car purchase is protected with a warranty, breakdown assistance and routine servicing.  

As for safety, the VW CC is up there, benefitting from Volkswagen’s kit including features such as fatigue detection, active head restraints, a blind spot warning system and lane keep assist.  

How much does the Volkswagen CC cost to run?

Volkswagen’s CC model benefits from the Passat’s engine options, with either a 1.4-litre turbocharged petrol with 155hp or a larger 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged petrol with 204hp. 

In terms of fuel economy, these two engines are rather frugal, offering from 33-66mpg on a full tank of petrol. This means that you can drive further and spend less on fuel. 

Another cost associated with owning and running a car is insurance, which can be an unpleasant cost to fork out. Luckily for you, the CC sits in between insurance groups 23 and 32, which is about halfway up the scale to the most expensive group, 50. 

Who is the Volkswagen CC suitable for?

A used Volkswagen CC is ideal for those wanting a luxurious coupé driving experience without forking out a fortune. 

You can pick up a great used example for around £12,000, which makes it incredible bang for your buck – and it stands up when compared to its Mercedes and Audi rivals.
