2013 VW CC: The Mercedes-Like Sedan Wears a New Grille

The 2012 VW CC

The 2013 VW CC

The stylish, coupe-like Volkswagen CC debuted four years ago. It was the first affordably priced four-door coupe on sale in the U.S, patterning the upscale Mercedes CLS. Since its introductory, nearly 270,000 people around the world have bought Volkswagen’s sedan, according to the folks at VW.



After a four-year run without any changes, Volkswagen is presenting a technically and visually updated version of the vehicle at the LA Auto Show, held at the LA Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles between November 18 and 27. With new front and rear styling and an extended range of standard equipment that includes Bi-Xenon headlights with the Adaptive Front Lighting System and LED taillights, the new CC mirrors the exterior styling of the redesigned Passat. The 2013 Volkswagen CC will go on sale in the Spring in the U.S. Pricing for the current-generation CC starts at around $28k and runs up to about $40k.
