Volkswagen has given its popular Volkswagen Passat CC four door coupe a mid-life facelift that revises the car’s appearance as well as adds a few new features.
We’re used to getting only one or two specs of vehicles here in Malaysia but in Europe, cars start out with very basic specs and you have to tick checkboxes to upgrade the options which increase the price of the car.
For the Passat CC, they’ve made a few options standard with the facelift, sich as bi-xenon headlamps, static cornering lights, LED tail lamps, fatigue detection. RCD 310 audio, stainless steel door sill plates, and safety head restraints with additional longitudinal adjustment for the front seats.
The facelifted Passat CC also gets new assistance systems like Side Assist Plus with integrated Lane Assist, which warns the driver of vehicles in blind spots and assists the driver in avoiding accidents by steering intervention. There’s also Dynamic Light Assist, which is automatic high beam control, and a camera-based traffic sign detection system. There’s also a new “climate seat” that has integrated massage function.
Various engines are available – we’re already familiar with the 2.0 litre TSI engine of course. In Europe, the facelifted Passat CC will come with various petrol engines ranging from a 160 PS tune up to a powerful 300 PS engine as well as a 140 PS TDI diesel engine, while in the US a different selection is available – a 200 PS TSI and a 280 PS FSI.
The new facelifted Passat CC will make its world debut at the LA Auto Show.

Bravo ! Very nice car.
If only it’s CKD like the passat too! :)
Just keep the old model head and change the rear lights that’s enough for the nice facelift ! this one is just ugly and horrible ! pls VW i believe you can do better just bring back the Peter to design ur cars!
VW did the unnecessary facelift! Keep the existing P.CC will do!
Better put the effort in other model as lots of the other model looks like the same!
This facelift looks okay, from photo.
This is ugly, I prefer the current model!
NICE! Very handsome.
Its kinda boring la….i prefer the look of the pre facelift model…..
Existing front fascia is better.
But the face-lifted rear is nicer than before.
This facelift have more changes as compared to the new Civic over its predecessor…
The rear certainly looks more elegant but I think the front looks rather conservative – not enough differentiation from the standard Passat. The folly of having a standard family look to all their cars! Too sama sama!!
it has completely lost its unique identify…the front looks more sedate , like a norm Camry..!
meh…
I prefer the current Passat CC front and the new CC facelift rear. The current Passat CC rear lights look like ah beng lights.
That BENGKOK DRL is damn cheapo look.
front=old model better
back=new model better
that grill doesn’t work with the headlamps. it looks cheap.
I agree with most people here: gotta love the new rear light design, but not the front
New front kinda kills off the saloon coupe look
The grill uses the old design language. The new has just one single line running between the vw emblem. Why couldn’t they not touch the front
Damn, I just got my PCC for less than 3 months…
i like the interior, but the exterior is no……
Interior wise? come on, 508 is much better interior wise! and the price is different by almost 60-70K!
i really do prefer the 508 more than these cars. in fact most french interiors are great these days. but let’s be honest. the interior in the vw is still better than one in a honda accord.
nice, just like the current rear lights better.
Bloody Europeans always spoil market. Their facelifts are like Japanese full model change.
now this is a proper car
I prefer to current design. Both front and rear just look classic. The facelift look moden but it has no soul.
yes, this is exactly what i’m trying to say… New facelift spoil the unique look, and the old rear lights give us some vroommm factor… the new rear lights, just looks like another sedan… come on, this is a CC!
Suddenly the front reminds me of the current Accord. Don’t know why.
In my opinion better for Passat sedan to sport new Pcc front look while latest Pcc rear light cluster has better look and simply keep current Pcc front design.
the overall design of the car doesn’t match well to the angular facelift. especially vw tiguan with its angular facelift. ugleee.
Now the rear light doesnt look like sonata, thats the only improvement i can see!
A better improvement from the old one. Nice, I like it. Will definitely consider this.
Front grille look very ugly la…omg
