Four-door coupe VW Passat CC. Good genetics: Volkswagen Passat CC review Suspension and steering

At the international North American Auto Show in early 2008, the German Volkswagen pleased the world community with a model called the Passat CC ("Comfort Coupe") - a new "four-door coupe" with sports body contours, a German-style solid interior and a driver's character. In the same year, the car began to develop the world's leading markets, including the Russian one.

In November 2011, an updated version of the four-door debuted on the catwalks of the Los Angeles Auto Show, which gained independence, having lost the word "Passat" in the name (although for Russia the "German" retained its former name). But the improvements were not limited to this - the car received a more solid appearance, acquired an improved interior, replenished its arsenal with new options and was awarded small technical metamorphoses.

Appearance Volkswagen Passat The CC successfully combines the solidity of a "business" sedan and the elegance of a coupe - the car looks exceptionally beautiful. The most intriguing view of the four-door in profile is due to the deliberately dynamic and graceful contours of the body with a long hood, a smoothly falling roof and a sloping trunk. But from other angles, the “German” demonstrates a calmer and more rigorous outline - a moderately presentable front end with bi-xenon optics and a massive radiator grille and a stocky rear with stylish lights and an embossed bumper.

The overall dimensions of the “coupe sedan” are somewhere on the border of the “D” and “E” classes according to European classification: 4802 mm long, 1417 mm high and 1885 mm wide. The gap between the axles of the car is 2711 mm, and its ground clearance does not exceed 154 mm.

Inside, the Volkswagen Passat CC looks stylish and soundly in German and impresses with excellent quality materials (nice plastics, aluminum inserts, good fabric and genuine leather) and a high level of assembly. From the point of view of design and ergonomics, the interior of the four-door is thought out to the smallest detail - a comfortable multifunctional steering wheel with optimal dimensions, a concise and informative instrument panel, a laconic but attractive center console with an analog clock, a multimedia system unit and a climate control.

The front riders in the Volkswagen Passat CC enjoy tight seats with pronounced lateral support for the hips and torso, a wide range of settings and heating (optionally also ventilation and electric drive). The “gallery” is double by default, and a triple rear sofa is installed for an extra charge (but in any case, the sloping roof puts pressure on the heads of tall passengers, although in other directions there is plenty of free space).

With practicality, the "four-door coupe" is in full order - it cargo compartment in standard form holds 532 liters of luggage. The “hold” of the car is able to boast of the correct shape and a decent opening, but it upsets with a big loading height. A full-size spare tire and the necessary tools are stored in a niche under the raised floor.

Specifications. In the Russian market for the Volkswagen Passat CC, there are three gasoline TSI engine, which are combined with a similar number of gearboxes and two types of transmissions.

Under the hood of the initial versions of the three-volume engine there is an in-line 1.8-liter “four” with direct fuel supply, a 16-valve timing, a turbocharger and phase shifters at the inlet and outlet, developing 152 “mares” at 5000-6200 rpm and 250 Nm of torque at 1500 -4200 rpm. She is assisted by a 6-speed “mechanics” or a 7-band “robot” (optional), directing the potential to the wheels of the front axle. To the first "hundred" such a car rushes in 8.5-8.6 seconds, gains a maximum of 222 km / h and "drinks" at least 7.3-7.4 liters in combined conditions.
Intermediate versions of the Passat SS are equipped with a four-cylinder 2.0-liter engine with a vertical layout, a 16-valve timing belt with a chain drive, turbocharging and direct power supply, the return of which fits into 210 “horses” at 5300-6200 rpm and 290 Nm of peak thrust at 1700-5000 rpm. Together with a 7-speed DSG and a front-wheel drive transmission, it allows the four-door to conquer 100 km / h after 7.8 seconds, stop accelerating only after reaching 240 km / h and spend 7.8 liters of gasoline in mixed mode.
"Top" Volkswagen modifications The Passat CC flaunts a 3.6-liter V6 engine with an aluminum block, 24-valve timing and technology direct injection, generating 300 Horse power at 6600 rpm and 350 Nm of ultimate capability at 2400-5300 rpm. It is paired with a six-speed robot and a 4Motion all-wheel drive system based on a Haldex clutch with four-wheel traction distribution. From zero to the first "hundred" such a car breaks down in 5.5 seconds and rests at 250 km / h, and "eats" about 9.3 liters in the "city / highway" cycle.

At the heart of the Volkswagen Passat CC is the front-wheel drive platform "PQ45" with a transverse power unit and the abundant use of high-strength steel types in the body structure. The suspension of the car is completely independent: MacPherson struts with transverse levers are mounted in front, and four-link architecture in the back. Optionally, it has an adaptive chassis with DCC electronically controlled shock absorbers, which have three operating modes: "comfortable", "sporty" and "standard".
In the “staff”, the four-door has a rack-and-pinion steering system with an electromechanical control amplifier and progressive characteristics. All wheels of the car are equipped with disc brakes with a diameter of 310 mm at the front and 285 mm at the rear, assisted by ABS, EDB and other electronic "gadgets".

Options and prices. The 2016 Volkswagen Passat CC is offered to Russian consumers in the non-alternative Sport version at a price of 1,682,000 rubles. The standard equipment of the car combines six airbags, an audio system with 8 speakers, a dual-zone “climate”, 17-inch wheels, four power windows, heated front seats, bi-xenon headlights, ABS, ESP, a driver fatigue recognition system, rain sensors and tire pressure, hill start assist technology and other modern functionality.
For a three-volume robotic transmission you will have to pay a minimum of 1,800,000 rubles, and with a 300-horsepower engine and all-wheel drive - 3,180,000 rubles. In addition, a large number of optional “gadgets” are provided for the car, in particular, the “sported” R-Link package, a panoramic roof, a system automatic parking, upscale Nappa leather upholstery, power seats and more.

The Volkswagen Passat SS is based on the VW Passat B6 and has been assembled in the German city of Emden since 2008. Until August 2010, part of the Passat CC for the Russian market was assembled in Kaluga. The prefix SS stands for Comfort Coupe. Appearance Passat CC is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent, it is so harmonious and cannot be repeated. SS looks much more expensive than it actually costs. In 2011, a new version of the Passat SS was released, which, in fact, was a restyling in order to bring the appearance to a common corporate style.

How is it with reliability? Having received a common platform and technical stuffing from the Passat B6, the SS acquired the same problems. But first things first.

Engines

Volkswagen Passat SS received a wide range of power units: 4-cylinder petrol turbo engines 1.8 TSI (152 hp) and 2.0 TSI (200 hp and 210 hp after restyling), atmospheric V- shaped petrol “six” with a working volume of 3.6 liters (300 hp) and a 4-cylinder turbodiesel 2.0 TDI (140 hp and 170 hp after restyling).

The most common 1.8 TSI engine is generally reliable. The turbocharger is hardy and has a good resource reserve. But increased consumption oil (up to 1 liter per 2-3 thousand km) is a common "disease" that affects up to 60% of cars after 50-80 thousand km. "Oil burner" affects all models of the concern with this engine, incl. and Skoda. Volkswagen recently released a repair kit that includes upgraded pistons and rings. In the event that owners complain about increased oil consumption, dealers make a control measurement of oil consumption. Upon confirmation of the "illness", official services replace the piston: in warranty period- free of charge, if the warranty is over, then only at the expense of the owner. On cars that left the assembly line after restyling and underwent a “overhaul”, the problem of “oil burner” occurs less frequently.

Another nuisance that can take you by surprise and make you seriously fork out is the jump of the timing chain with a run of more than 70-100 thousand km. The culprit is the chain breaker. After April 2011, the damper was improved and the problem did not reoccur.

VW Passat CC USA (2008 - 2011)

2.0 TSI is structurally similar to the younger 1.8 TSI, but it is considered more reliable. He is devoid of the sores described above. 3.6 FSI was also not seen in the list of possible problems.

On diesel 2.0 TDI 140 hp with a run of more than 50-100 thousand km, the flywheel may rattle. In an unofficial service, you will have to pay about 25 thousand rubles for a new flywheel and about 8 thousand rubles more for work. At dealers, replacing the flywheel will cost significantly more.

Many owners note the relatively loud operation of the fuel pump. Some manage to get the replacement of the “humming” pump under warranty, after which the long-awaited silence sets in. Also, sometimes there are problems in the cooling system associated with leakage of the pump, pipes or radiator.

Transmission

All power units, with the exception of the V6 3.6, can be combined with a 6-speed mechanical box gears. "Mechanics" is generally reliable. Some owners note the lack of clarity of gear shifting due to the excessively long travel of the clutch pedal, grabbing at the very bottom. There are cases of noise from the bearing of the input shaft of the box.

VW Passat CC R-Line (2008 - 2011)

The most widespread and the number of complaints was preselective automatic transmission DSG gear 7 with double dry clutch, compatible exclusively with the 1.8 TSI engine. Claims, as a rule, appeared with a run of more than 20-40 thousand km due to jerking in traffic jams when switching from first to second and vice versa, vibrations at the time of start and during acceleration in 2nd gear. Dealers replaced the clutch, but this did not guarantee a complete solution to the problem. Soon the vibrations could reappear. Then it was the turn to replace the mechatronics with a run of more than 50-90 thousand km. In rare cases, services resorted to replacing the box. For comparison: cost new box about 300 thousand rubles, mechatronics - about 90 thousand rubles, clutches - about 20 thousand rubles, and replacement work - 10-15 thousand rubles. More often, problems manifested themselves on the Volkswagen Passat SS, operated mainly in urban traffic jams. It is generally accepted that the transfer of the box to the "manual" or "sports" mode when it gets into a protracted traffic jam avoids possible faults. It is gratifying that the problem is not universal and affected no more than a third of the cars. Meanwhile, Volkswagen continued to search for ways to treat the disease: it released new version ECU firmware of the box and upgraded the clutch and the box itself. But the "antidote" has not yet been found. Having made concessions, in the face of the pressure of numerous complaints, the manufacturer extended the term warranty service DSG 7 up to 5 years or 150 thousand km.

Robotic DSG 6 with wet clutch was installed in tandem with diesel, V6 3.6 l, and after mid-2010 and 2.0 TSI. This transmission is considered more reliable, but cases of the need to replace the clutch have been recorded here as well.

The classic 6-speed Aisin automatic transmission until mid-2010 was used only with a 2-liter TSI petrol. Weakness boxes - a hydraulic valve block, which caused shocks when shifting gears with a mileage of more than 70-120 thousand km. The cost of a new block is about 50-60 thousand rubles, repairs - about 20-25 thousand rubles.

All-wheel drive versions of the Volkswagen Passat CC are equipped with a Haldex clutch. No problems were noted with her.

Chassis

Passat SS suspension is relatively strong. With the advent of frost, many note the appearance of squeaks and knocks in the suspension when driving through bumps. On cars assembled in 2011, the support bearings of the front struts often begin to crackle with a run of more than 10-20 thousand km. The source of knocks from behind often often become brake calipers.

Body and interior

quality claims paintwork usually does not occur. In rare cases, over time, scuffs may appear inside the doorways at the point of contact with the seals. Plastic lining at the bottom rear window above the trunk lid sometimes bursts. Gradually becomes cloudy chrome on the outer decorative inserts. If earlier dealers, upon receipt of complaints, replaced the darkened element, now such cases are not covered by the warranty until the chrome begins to swell (very rare). Often found to be missing rear bumper(400-800 rubles from dealers). Many note fogging of the headlights and the appearance of insects in the front and rear optics (non-warranty cases).

In winter, the gas tank hatch often freezes. You can open it after warming up the car in a heated parking lot. And as a prevention of freezing, it is necessary to treat the lock with a special water-repellent lubricant. One more winter problem- freezing of glasses, because of which they do not drop down, and the doors do not open. Some owners inadvertently pull the door and turn out the seal. To eliminate problems after washing in cold weather, it is necessary to thoroughly blow compressed air seals and process them special composition. The manufacturer does not recommend the use of silicone-based lubricants for this. With the advent of winter, delays appear in the electric drive for folding / unfolding mirrors - the response time reaches 10-20 seconds !!! There are cases of burnout of the heating element for heating the windshield (warranty case).

The plastic of the interior with the advent of cold weather can creak until the interior warms up. The creaking panorama also contributes to the frost. Knocks and creaks when driving through bumps can be caused by loose door locks, usually the front ones. To fix, you need to adjust the lock. There is also a less expensive "collective farm" method - wrapping the lock brackets with electrical tape. Metallic squeaks or clicks in the heat in the area of the rear luggage rack are caused by the movement of metal body panels at the welds. The solution of the problem by the manufacturer is reduced to mechanical action on the free panels in order to unload. Simply put, with a screwdriver, increase the gap between the body elements in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear shelf and lubricate the places where they come into contact with each other.

VW Passat CC (2008 - 2011)

It is not uncommon for condensation to accumulate in the trunk lid and in the space between the roof and the headlining. There are leaks through the windshield seal.

Some owners complain about the appearance of scuffs on the side support of the driver's seat with leather upholstery with a run of more than 20-40 thousand km. There are also complaints from owners with fabric seats.

Conclusion

Statistics show that in reality with serious problems such as DSG box, faced by no more than 30-40% of the owners. The figure is certainly high, but far from sky-high. "Oil burner" in most cases is "not fatal", and cases of chain jumping are rare. Other faults are even less common. Do not be afraid of the Volkswagen Passat CC. The car will give you a lot of pleasant impressions. In addition, Volkswagen is trying to eliminate all design flaws in a timely manner. But unscrupulous dealers often hinder good intentions themselves by refusing to warranty repair, and further undermining the reputation of the automaker.

The facelifted 2012 Volkswagen Passat CC was unveiled at the November 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. model year. In comparison with the pre-styling model, which has been produced since 2008, the design of the front and rear parts of the car has been changed. At the same time, it became a little longer and lower, but wheelbase and the platform remains the same.

The interior of the 2012 Passat SS hasn't changed much, except for the modified center console and the design of the climate control controls.

In Russia, the updated and current Volkswagen Passat SS has been on sale since 2012. Less than a year earlier, at the Los Angeles International Auto Show, the German automaker presented a new version of its 2012-2014 Volkswagen Passat SS. So this model relevant to this day. The new generation, that is, the B8, should be expected some time after the release of the original series, whose sales will begin early next year.

For a domestic motorist, the Passat name is associated with a high level of quality, reliability, comfort, and unique style. Not surprisingly, the sales level of this model is always high.

As for the SS itself, the Volkswagen company created it in order to impose a fight on elegant cars from BMW and Mercedes. The most interesting thing is that the German auto giant succeeded. Their car turned out to be magnificent in appearance, and even costs less than its competitors. Therefore, it was the duty of Volkswagen to continue the SS line.

In general, the company had to take risks by releasing its Comfort Coupe, since it was difficult to imagine how the public would react to such an unusual car. On the one hand, it looks like a sedan, although it also looks like a coupe. One way or another, the Germans guessed right and created another masterpiece that is popular all over the world. In three years, from spring 2008 to winter 2011, the company sold more than 330,000 of its Passat SS.

Now we will try to tell you in detail about the current Volkswagen Passat CC 2014, since there is not much left to wait until the official presentation of the new CC based on the Passat B8.

Exterior

Actually, appearance this car mobile- this is its main advantage. From the photo and numerous videos, you can understand for yourself how attractive and elegant the Volkswagen turned out to be. This is one of those cars that willy-nilly see you off, meeting him on the road.

The front end is distinguished by a narrow trim grille with chrome strips, tapered headlights, a refined grille and a bumper with swiveling fog lamps. In general, the front came out light, elegant, unique. Plus, the hood, like a thin line, goes neatly to the roof, and from there it follows to the trunk.

In profile, the car looks no less harmonious. It is immediately clear that the manufacturer thought about the comfort of the driver and passengers, providing them with access to the cabin through wide doors. At the same time, engineers paid close attention to aerodynamic drag and tried to minimize it. We end up getting bloated wheel arches, perfect roof lines, missing glass frames and neat exterior mirrors. All this is complemented rims by 17-18 inches.

Behind the miracles continue. Here, the Volkswagen Passat SS is distinguished by a small trunk lid, a spoiler, a competent arrangement of optics, LED-based marker lights and an impressive bumper with strict lines.

It seems that this is the most perfect car in the world, based on our description. But we should not be accused of abuse of subjective evaluation. It's just that the car is really beautiful and elegant, and it would be foolish to deny this fact.

As for the dimensions, they are as follows:

length - 4802 mm
width - 1855 millimeters (excluding exterior rear-view mirrors)
height - 1417 millimeters
wheelbase - 2711 millimeters
ground clearance (ground clearance) - from 124 to 154 millimeters (depending on the vehicle load).

Interior

Inside the car attracts no less. Here, the designers decided to use premium finishing materials that are found in cars of a higher class. Nevertheless, it is hardly worth giving up such pleasure.

The steering wheel sits comfortably in your hands, equipped with many buttons and controls. The driver and front passenger seats are almost identical, boasting excellent lateral support. The steering column is adjustable over a wide range of settings, just like the seat. As a result, even a person over 190 centimeters tall will easily adjust the position of the seat and steering wheel for themselves.

The instrument panel consists of large dials and a multifunctional on-board computer. All information necessary for the driver is available on the dashboard. Plus, it looks easy, readable and bright.

The center console was designed in best traditions manufacturer, to create the buttons used a very pleasant to the touch material, placed all the necessary controls.

But at the back, problems may arise when landing more than two adult passengers. And the manufacturer himself rashly noted that back row they adapted to the maximum comfort of two. At the same time, they offer as an option to order a full-fledged three-seater sofa. Is it necessary? Well, if you are going to carry not only two adults, but also one child in the back, then in the middle it will fit without problems.

As for the trunk, it is designed to accommodate 532 liters of luggage.

The 2014 Volkswagen Passat CC is offered in a very wide range of options. Moreover, the basic equipment is already impressive in its composition:

fabric seat upholstery
mechanical adjustment of the front seats with a microlift
climate control
electric handbrake
hill start assist system
bi-xenon headlights

Prices

Few people expected that the manufacturer would ask for a very modest amount for such a car. There is a price to pay for such luxury. And so far there is no shortage of people who want to become the owner of the 2014 Volkswagen Passat CC.

As far as price is concerned, this moment in Russia, the current version of the Volkswagen Passat SS is available at a price of 1.2 million rubles for the basic version. Top equipment will cost 2.1 million rubles, but this does not take into account a set of options that the buyer can take additionally.

Specifications

In total, the manufacturer currently offers four equipment options. engine compartment. Moreover, three engines are gasoline, and only one diesel.

Younger gasoline engine represented by a 1.8 liter 152-horsepower unit, which works with mechanics in 6 steps or with DSG in 7 steps. Accelerates up to a hundred with mechanical and robotic gearbox respectively in 8.6 and 8.5 seconds, accelerates to a maximum of 222 and 220 kilometers per hour and consumes about 7.4 liters of gasoline in the combined cycle.
The second engine is a two-liter and produces 210 horsepower at 280 Nm of torque. Acceleration to hundreds with a DSG robot takes 7.8 seconds, and the top speed stops at 240 kilometers per hour. The engine consumes about 7.8 liters.
Senior of gasoline engines- This is a 3.6-liter engine with 300 horses and 350 Nm of torque. It has four-wheel drive and works with DSG in 6 steps. Up to a hundred such Passat SS accelerates in 5.5 seconds, consumes 9.3 liters of fuel. But the maximum speed is traditionally limited to 250 kilometers per hour.
The only one diesel engine represented by a two-liter turbocharged unit for 170 horses and 350 Nm. It works only in tandem with a six-speed DSG, accelerates from standstill to hundreds in 8.6 seconds and produces a top speed of 224 kilometers per hour. But the appetites are the most modest - only 5.5 liters in the combined cycle. This is due to the presence of the Start-Stop system and the braking kinetic energy recovery system.

Output

It is not worth talking about the uniqueness of the Volkswagen Passat SS car. This is truly a wonderful car that millions want to own. And those who do not want it for themselves have no right to deny the fact of its unsurpassedness. Read the reviews of the owners and understand what the 2014 Volkswagen Passat CC is and how well the manufacturer from Germany managed to complete it.

Volkswagen Passat CC is a model that first appeared on the global car market in 2008. Since then, the car has not only become one of the most popular E-class sedans in Russia, but has also been restyled in 2012. Do not confuse with the usual trade wind, which is much cheaper. The abbreviation CC, present in the name, means: comfort coupe. In other words, this is a fashion car that will be convenient for both the driver and passengers located on the back sofa.

Unlike the usual one, which has established itself as a good family car, the kupesh version is more preferred by officials and middle managers. Although the CC received a platform from the B6, it exceeds its predecessor in dimensions and interior space.

Appearance

The design is the winner of the competition conceptual models in Detroit in 2007. It was after this event that the designers realized that they were on the right track and decided to release a car with such an appearance into mass production. When examining the body of the car, you understand that the car deservedly received all the awards. The front of the car is decorated with chrome radiator screen, which emphasizes the solid status of CC. Streamlined, made according to all requirements modern technologies, optics with xenon function and adaptive headlight adjustment, is also successfully integrated into the attractive front end.

On the doors of the Passat SS, silver moldings are placed on both sides, which perform two functions: protect the doors from minor bumps and possible scratches, and subtly emphasize the design of the car executive class. Rear lights they look expensive and technologically advanced: a function is installed inside that has not been seen before on any Volkswagen - the anti-fogging function of the lights. The trunk can be opened by pressing the large Volkswagen logo or using the remote key fob. Trunk volume is 480 liters. Inside you can find a full size spare wheel and an emergency repair kit.

Car dimensions:

length - 4802 mm;
width - 1885 mm;
height - 1417 mm;
wheelbase - 2711 mm;
clearance - 154 mm.

In the process of the latest restyling, the Volkswagen Passat CC has not decreased in size. The length of this car is 4802 mm. The width is 1885 mm, and is considered quite optimal for a class E model. A comfortable, long cabin is due to a wheelbase of 2711 mm. Ground clearance and the overall height of this model is inferior to many competitors in its segment and becomes 154 mm and 1417 mm, respectively, but this, in fact, is not critical, because everything is done for the sake of a comfortable ride on a flat road.

The seats are fabric in the basic configuration, but there are many options, in case of a surcharge, order a salon with leather seats. Continuing the theme of interior design, it is worth mentioning that the Volkswagen CC has twelve color options for upholstery, which will determine the color of the seats.

The temperature inside is controlled by dual-zone climate control. Which is configured separately for the front and rear zones of the car. Security is provided at the highest level and consists of:

six airbags;
wheel anti-lock systems;
exchange rate stability systems;
sensors that determine the presence of another car in a zone invisible to the driver.

Also, in difficult times, the driver's fatigue recognition system can help out; if it is activated, the seat will begin to vibrate: warning the driver about the need to rest.
