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 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.
