Volkswagen recently announced that the second generation CC will debut at the 2011 LA Auto Show in two weeks. Most of the curvaceous four-door’s exterior remains unchanged but both front and rear fascias have been updated. The refreshed 2013 VW CC bears a striking resemblance to its siblings, bearing the unmistakable grille that has now become synonymous with Volkswagen’s design language. Designers ditched the previous scalloped headlamps for new standard Bi-Xenon units with straightened edges. Also new are the trapezoidal grille, a new hood, and a revised lower air dam.
Other cosmetic changes are much more conservative. The 2013 CC gains new LED tail lights with L-shaped lens patterns resembling those used on the Passat, Jetta, Golf, and Eos. The bumper receives an ever so slight revision that highlights the chrome band running across it.
Further details have yet to be released but officials say that the new car will not change much mechanically from its current iteration. We expect that most trims will utilize a 200-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter I-4, mated either to a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It is most likely that the 280-hp, 3.6-liter VR6 will be relegated to the top-trim models, and paired only with a six-speed automatic and VW’s 4Motion all-wheel drive system.
We will bring your more information closer to the Los Angeles auto show press days, which officially kick off on November 16th, 2011. Continue to follow us on Twitter and check in on our Facebook community to stay in the loop.
