FAW-Volkswagen CC ushered in a facelift model one year after its launch. The new CC has launched two body styles: a coupe version and a Safari version. The appearance of the new CC is not much different from the current models on sale. The CC Safari Edition has been added, and a new design is adopted in appearance. According to official sources, the new CC guides the price range of 249,900 to 299,900 yuan.
The new CC has undergone minor adjustments in appearance, but the overall change is not big. The overall shape of the current model is continued, and the main changes are concentrated in the front and rear surrounds. Specifically, the size of the new CC front air intake grille has been further increased, the center of the grille has been joined with an LED light strip connected to the headlights on both sides, and the bumper has also adopted a new style.
The biggest change of the new car is the launch of the hunting version. The so-called hunting version can be simply understood as a more advanced and sporty station wagon. From the appearance point of view, the new CC Safari version also uses a large-size front air intake grille. The "C"-shaped chrome trim on both sides adopts a through design, and the L-shaped daytime running lights are connected to the grille to form a whole. As it is a cross-border travel version, the new car adds black anti-friction guards at the front lip, wheel arch, side skirts and rear bumper, and the ground clearance has been improved. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4865/1870/1459mm, and the wheelbase is 2841mm. The
new CC interior part continues the design style of the current model, continues to use 10.3-inch full LCD instrument, 9.2-inch LCD center control screen and three-frame multi-function steering wheel, but the overall design is simpler. In terms of configuration, the new CC is equipped with Volkswagen's latest MIB3 infotainment system, providing keyless entry, Harman Kardon audio, wireless charging and other configurations. There is no change in power of
. Both the new CC and CC Safari versions are equipped with 2.0T turbocharged engines and provide 330TSI and 380TSI high/low power adjustments. The 330TSI version has a maximum power of 186 horsepower and a peak torque of 320 N·m; the 380TSI version has a maximum power of 220 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 N·m. The transmission system is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the hunting version may also launch a four-wheel drive version. The
CC is a high-profile model among Volkswagen products. With its unique design of frameless doors and hatchback body, it has been favored by many consumers. However, the Volkswagen CC, which has the title of "The Most Beautiful Volkswagen", does not sell much in the market. The data shows that the sales of FAW-Volkswagen CC in 2019 were 23,807, and the cumulative sales from January to October 2020 was 22,733, making it a classic model that was not popular.
Volkswagen CC cannot be sold for two reasons: First, the price is not competitive. The manufacturer's guide price is 246,830,800 yuan, and the Cadillac CT5 can already be bought under favorable terminal market. Second, in terms of design, the design of the Volkswagen CC frameless door and slip-back body looks very young, but the interior design is too old and contrasts with the appearance.
In addition, for Volkswagen's insistence on launching a niche safari model, netizens also exclaimed that they were "convinced." After all, cross-border station wagons have always been unpopular in the domestic market, and neither the appearance nor the price meets the consumer needs of Chinese people. Therefore, it is difficult for Volkswagen CC to rely on the safari version. It is also a model that is not popular. Perhaps its significance is to increase the Volkswagen brand image and the wagon market share!
