Volkswagen plans to show its refreshed CC sedan with coupe styling at the Los Angeles auto show this month.
The CC debuted as a 2009 model and is on the European Passat platform. Changes to the freshened 2013 model include new front and rear styling and a standard rear bench that seats three, replacing the two rear bucket seats on the current car. The 2013 model gets adaptive xenon headlights and new LED taillights as standard equipment.
VW said it has sold nearly 270,000 CCs since the car debuted. U.S. sales from 2008 through October have totaled 79,318, according to the Automotive News data center.
The 2013 CC goes on sale next spring in the United States.
PRESS RELEASE: VOLKSWAGEN UNVEILS NEW CC
Volkswagen's stylish four-door coupe receives major updates for the 2013 Model Year, including freshened front and rear styling
Wolfsburg — When the Volkswagen CC debuted four years ago, it was the first affordably priced four-door coupe on sale in the U.S. What looked at first like a niche has developed into a completely new segment: nearly 270,000 people around the world have bought Volkswagen's sedan that has the looks and heart of a sports car. The CC mixes practicality with style and attainability.
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 makes an even bolder statement in the entry-luxury class. The 2013 Volkswagen CC will go on sale in the Spring in the U.S.
