2016 Volkswagen CC Rendered to Four-Door Coupe Perfection

Wondering what the next generation (Passat) CC four-door cope will look like? Look no further than these new renderings, based on the brand new MQB-based sedan model that made its debut last week.

There's no question that the CC is a nice four-door coupe for a lot less money than the Mercedes-Benz CLS. However, it's beginning to look its age, despite Volkswagen's failed attempt at giving it a facelift.

With a blank sheet of paper and a new platform to work from, designers will have a much easier time blending the square VW design language and the flowing lines of a coupe. These renderings were created by RM.Design and we think most Vdub fans will be more than willing to leave a deposit on.

Highlights of the second CC generation will include all-LED headlights and taillights, trapezoidal exhaust, wider tracks and strong shoulders lines.

The 8th generation Passat sedan has left a lasting impression after its debut last week, thanks to an array of technology features and sculpted front end design. Like the new Golf, it's likely to become one of the most popular vehicles in its segment.

A number of powerful new turbocharged engine are being launched and will also be available with the second generation CC when it debut in 2016. These will include a new twin-turbo 2.0-liter TDI with 240 PS and a 2.0 TSI borrowed from the SEAT Leon Cupra.

Early development work on the car has already started. Rumors suggest the current layout is being dropped in favor of a 5-door liftback design similar to that of the A5 Sportback and the new BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe. It's not a bad idea, considering how hard fitting larger items into the CC can be.
