2011 Volkswagen CC Trims and Specs

With a turbocharged 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine and your choice of a six-speed manual or double-clutch automated manual transmission, the 2011 Volkswagen CC Sport trim lives up to its name and is not merely a throwaway base trim. Its tilt and telescoping steering wheel is leather-wrapped and gets controls for the 6-CD/MP3 player. The stereo also comes with a digital media connection and Bluetooth. Foglights and 17-inch alloy wheels show off a bit more sport, and luxury isn’t ignored either, with air conditioning, remote keyless entry, rain-sensing wipers, and a trip computer with tachometer and outside-temperature indicator. Power windows and doors are joined by heated power mirrors with integrated turn signals. While vinyl is the standard upholstery here, front bucket seats are heated, and the driver gets 12-way power. For safety, there’s traction and stability control, brake assist for the four-wheel antilock disc brakes, daytime running automatic headlights, and six standard airbags.

With the Luxury trim of the 2011 Volkswagen CC, the six-speed manual option is dropped in favor of a standard six-speed, dual-clutch automated manual to mate to the 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder. Air conditioning is upgraded to dual-zone automatic climate controls, and vinyl upholstery is ditched for true leather, matching the tilt and telescoping steering wheel. Here driver and passenger get 12-way power heated bucket seats, and the driver gets a memory system for his seat and the heated power mirrors with integrated turn signals. Power windows and doors are joined by a power sunroof here, and the rain-sensing wipers get heated washer nozzles. The 6-CD/MP3 player gets satellite radio in addition to Bluetooth and a digital media connection, but perhaps the biggest upgrade is the front and rear obstacle-detection systems. 17-inch alloy wheels hide antilock disc brakes at all corners, and foglights help with illumination. Safety features include six airbags, traction and stability control, brake assist, and daytime running and automatic headlights.

Jumping up to the Luxury Plus trim in the 2011 Volkswagen CC will get you several unique features not found otherwise. Interior ambient lighting accents the genuine wood interior trim, and front and rear obstacle detection systems are joined by a rear-view camera and a navigation system with a 6.5-inch color touchscreen. The universal garage door opener has been likewise upgraded to a Homelink unit integrated into the driver’s sun visor. Sirius satellite radio and traffic are also included with the upgraded stereo, which also gets a 30-gigabyte hard drive. Otherwise the setup is identical to the Luxury trim, with its full power accessories, including power sunroof and heated power mirrors, rain-sensing wipers with heated washer nozzles, and heated, 12-way power leather front bucket seats. Powered by a turbocharged, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a dual-clutch, six-speed automated manual, driveability will remain the same as well. Dual-zone automatic climate controls and leather upholstery are standard, along with a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, trip computer, and a driver memory system. Safety features include traction and stability control, four-wheel antilock disc brakes with brake assist, daytime running and automatic headlights, and six airbags.

If the wealth of extra features included in the Luxury Plus trim of the 2011 Volkswagen CC aren’t enough, look to the Luxury Limited trim for a bit more flash. Special 18-inch Interlagos alloy wheels provide an immediate visual distinction, and when you’re behind the leather-wrapped tilt and telescoping steering wheel, the increased visibility from the adaptive, bi-xenon, directionally adjustable headlights should be immediately noticeable from the 12-way power heated leather bucket seats. Driver and passenger alike get that treatment, although the driver will also enjoy a memory system for his seat and the heated power mirrors. Power accessories are all here, including a power sunroof, and interior ambient lighting will show off the genuine wood trim. You’ll get front and rear obstacle-detection systems as well as a rearview camera and a navigation system with 6.5-inch color touchscreen. Sirius satellite radio and traffic upgrade the stereo, which comes here with Bluetooth and a 30-gigabyte hard drive. A Homelink garage door opener is integrated into the driver’s sun visor, an upgrade from the universal unit included on lower trims. There are dual-zone automatic climate controls, a trip computer, and automatic headlights and daytime running lights. The powertrain doesn’t change, still comprised of a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the dual-clutch, six-speed automated manual, and safety features are still rounded out by four-wheel antilock discs, brake assist, traction and stability control, and six airbags.

With Volkswagen dropping the VR6 Sport trim of the 2011 CC, the VR6 4Motion Executive is the only trim left with the 3.6-liter VR engine. Here you’ll get a six-speed shiftable automatic instead of the dual-clutch automated manual offered with the other trims. An upgraded sound system will put out more power, while a power rear sunshade will keep the heat off passenger necks. The real upgrade here is the 4Motion all-wheel-drive setup, adding additional stability beyond what is offered with the traction and stability control of the rest of the trims. Automatic bi-xenon headlights are now steering-linked and adaptive. Wheels increase to 18-inch alloys and still hide brake-assisted four-wheel disc antilocks. Leather upholstery covers the 12-way power heated front buckets, and the driver gets a memory system for his seat and the heated power mirrors, which also come with integrated turn signals. The tilt and telescoping steering wheel is also leather-wrapped and comes with radio controls. There are power windows, doors, and a power sunroof as well. Rain-sensing wipers get heated washer nozzles for winter weather, and the stereo gets satellite radio, Bluetooth, and digital media connections. Look to front and rear obstacle-detection systems for safety, as well as six airbags and daytime running lights.
