More details on the European VW CC

VW reveals even more details about the new CC (ex Passat CC) at an event, held in Nice, France, shortly before its sales start in Europe.
VW presented the updated Passat CC for the first time (Coupe-Comfort), which will now be called CC, in November at the Los Angeles show. The German brand though, just before the new sports sedan went on sale organized an event that took place in Nice, France. There, the specialist press enjoyed all the new features of the new CC, which has new lighting bodies with the LEDs integrated inside, rear LED lights, new bumpers, chrome details and a new trunk design.

Inside the CC we find an almost new image, while VW states that it will have rich standard equipment, which among others will be the fatigue detection system, the active head restraints, the new sound system, as well as the bi-xenon lights. As for optional equipment, can the customer select the lane change alert system, dead center detection system, massage seats and more.
Engines and gearboxes for Europe will remain unchanged. So, the CC is fitted with the TSI range (160, 210 and 300 horses) and TDI(140 and 170 horses) engines. It is worth noting that the 2-liter TDI performance engine 140 of horsepower with the manual 6-speed gearbox has a consumption of just 4,7 lt./100 km. End, all TDI engines will have the Stop/Start system as standard which further reduces consumption.

VW presented the Volkswagen Bulli concept at the Geneva show in early spring. A microbus with a length of just 3,99 m., 1,75 μ. width and 1,70 meters high and has a wheelbase 2,62 meters. The Volkswagen Bulli was equipped with an electric motor that performs 115 horses and 260 Nm of torque. The motor draws power from lithium-ion batteries.

Volkswagen said the Bulli has a theoretical range of up to 300 kilometers, price that honestly, it's incredible for an electric vehicle.

Volkswagen Bulli needs 11,5 seconds to accelerate from the 0 στα 100 km. / time and the top speed is electronically limited to 140 km. / time.

By arrangement 3 +3 positions, Bulli offers cargo space 370 liter, which increases to 1.600 liters when all seats are folded.

The production version of the new VW Bulli is expected sometime in 2014, retaining most of the design features of the original. Volkswagen's goal is for the Bulli to retain the character it has as a prototype.

And among the features that the German brand wants to remain is the electric motor. Of course, the question mark is whether the electric motor that we will see in the production model will maintain the technical characteristics that we saw in the concept.

The 2014 VW Bulli is expected to be slightly larger than a Polo
