All Volkswagen CC years

What is new for the 2016 Volkswagen CC?

  • The CC is available in a new trim called the Trend.

  • The R-Line trim now comes with Smart Key as standard equipment.
  • The Sport trim now comes with Smart Key as standard equipment.

5 reasons to buy the 2016 Volkswagen CC

1. Lots of standard tech and features 

Whether staying connected while on the go or keeping comfortable, the 2016 Volkswagen CC has the standard equipment for the job. For example, Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® smartphone integration, Bluetooth® connectivity, and a 6.3-inch touchscreen are some of the standard tech. Plus, the base Trend trim includes conveniences like rain-sensing wipers, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and more. 

2. Plenty of interior comfort 

When you sit back into the seats of a 2016 Volkswagen CC, which you can adjust into the proper position, you’ll feel supportive cushioning under the soft leatherette surfaces. Plus, the seats stay supportive without creating hard pressure points, so they don’t feel uncomfortable during long trips. Finally, let the standard front heated seats keep you warm on a cold day. 

3. Two capable engine choices 

Depending on what kind of driving experience you prefer, one of the two engine options in a 2016 Volkswagen CC should fit the bill. For example, the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivers competent around-town performance while getting EPA-estimated 31 mpg highway and 22 mpg city from the 2016 Volkswagen CC FWD and available six-speed automatic transmission.

Or look for the 2016 Volkswagen CC V6 Executive for a smooth and powerful 280-hp 3.6L V6 engine. 

4. An available suite of driver aids 

If you’re looking for a helping hand while on the highway, find a 2016 Volkswagen CC V6 Executive. This top-of-the-line trim includes adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and a forward collision mitigation system that automatically applies the brakes if it detects a potential collision. Lastly, an automatic parking system helps parallel park the 2016 Volkswagen CC V6 Executive for you. 

5. An Executive-style experience 

The 2016 Volkswagen CC V6 Executive sits at the top of the lineup and delivers a luxurious experience that rivals many luxury sedans. For example, the front seats are upgraded to include ventilation and massage functionality, while all seats get full soft leather upholstery. A panoramic sunroof opens the interior to the sky above, while the premium 10-speaker 600-watt sound system delivers a concert hall-like experience.
