Volkswagen introduced its new Passat CC “Four door coupe” for 2009. It design based on Mercedez Benz CLS.

“Over an inch longer and 1.5 inches wider than the passat sedan, with a height of over 2 inches lower create for much sleeker appearance”. The Passat CC features VW’s Dynamic Drive control (DDC) adjustable suspension with “Normal”, “sport” and “Comfort” modes. DDC also reacts to acceleration, braking and steering inputs. The latest tech trend in the market is the Lane assist and Automatic Distance control (ACC), which Passat CC also features with a radar-based cruise control system to regulate the distance from cars ahead. ACC automatically brakes and accelerates within a speed range input by the car driver beforehead.
