The Volkswagen CC, initially sold as the Volkswagen Passat CC,[4] is a car built by German marque Volkswagen from 2008 to 2016.[citation needed] It is a variant of the Volkswagen Passat that trades headroom and cargo space[5] for a coupé-like profile and sweeping roofline.[6] The CC debuted in January 2008, at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit and was discontinued after the 2017 model year.[7][8]
Volkswagen said the name CC stands for Comfort Coupe, recognizing its combination of a coupe-like profile with four rather than two doors.[9] While based on the Passat, and sharing its wheelbase, the CC is 27 mm (1.06 inches) longer, 50 mm (1.97 inches) lower, and 36 mm (1.42 inches) wider than the Passat.
While the CC has been replaced by the Arteon in most markets, the latter vehicle retains the CC nameplate in China.
