The Car Behind This Bag
2009 · 2.0L TSI turbo four · Emden · B6 platform · the first VW four-door coupe
The Passat CC was Volkswagen's attempt at the four-door coupe segment that Mercedes had created with the CLS in 2004. Launched in 2008 on the B6 Passat platform, the CC ran the standard 2.0-litre TSI turbocharged four or the 3.6-litre VR6, with an optional 4Motion all-wheel-drive system. The body was stretched and lowered, with frameless doors and a rakish roofline that looked, by VW standards, almost theatrical.
It was the car the German upper-middle manager class moved into when the Passat saloon felt too plain and the Mercedes E-Class felt too obvious. By 2010 the CC had become a quiet status purchase across Northern Europe — the kind of car driven by IT directors at family-owned manufacturers and by the Berlin gallery owners who had rented their first space the year before. The interior used Volkswagen's higher-grade Vienna leather and the same switchgear as the Phaeton.
VW built the CC through 2017 in Emden and Foshan before replacing it with the Arteon. It remained, throughout its run, the only mainstream Volkswagen passenger car designed primarily as an aesthetic exercise — and the original interiors still feel surprisingly intact, twelve years on.
