2016 Volkswagen CC Exterior

The 2016 Volkswagen CC’s exterior hasn’t changed much since it first hit the market but it still holds a modern appeal. The roofline gives the car a lower stance and a sleek profile. The Volkswagen CC resembles a sport sedan, a look reinforced by the frameless doors, even though the car is front wheel drive.

2016 Volkswagen CC Engine

2016 Volkswagen CC Performance

There are two engine options in the 2016 Volkswagen CC: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder or a 3.6-liter V6.

The smaller of the two, the 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder pumps out 200 hp and 207 lb-ft of torque. Lighter than its 3.6-liter counterpart, the four-cylinder shifts quickly and is incredibly responsive.

The larger 3.6-liter V6 packs more of a punch with 280 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque. Heavier than the four-cylinder, it takes a second more to gain speed.

There’s not much new to the 2016 Volkswagen CC, the only major upgrade being a new infotainment system. Inside, the gauges and dials are relatively uniform and easy on the eyes.
