The Volkswagen Passat CC is a 4-door coupé version of the Volkswagen Passat. It debuted at the 2008 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. At various times during its development the vehicle was known as the Passat Coupé.

The suffix CC stands for Comfort Coupé[1] and the car's styling strongly recalls the 2004 Mercedes-Benz CLS.

The Passat CC falls between the Passat and the Phaeton in VW's range — while based on the Passat, and sharing its wheelbase, the CC is longer (+ 27 mm (1.06 in)), lower (− 50 mm (1.97 in)) and wider (+ 36 mm (1.42 in)) than the Passat.

The car rests on a 2711 mm (106.7 in) wheelbase and is, for the time being, available with a 1.8-litre TFSI inline-four (118 kW (160 PS/158 hp)) or a 2.0-litre inline-four TDI engine, both with front-wheel drive and 6-speed manual, or with a 3.6-litre VR6 engine (220 kW (299 PS/295 hp)) with 4motion four-wheel drive and a 6-speed twin-clutch Direct-Shift Gearbox (DSG).
