Volkswagen said the name CC stands for Comfort Coupe, recognizing its combination of a coupe-like profile with four rather than two doors.Stahl, "Nevertheless, as a car with four doors and a trunk out back, the 2009 VW CC is clearly a sedan" While based on the Passat, and sharing its wheelbase, the CC is {{convert|27|mm|in|2|abbr=in}} longer, {{convert|50|mm|in|2|abbr=in}} lower, and {{convert|36|mm|in|2|abbr=in}} wider than the Passat.
While the CC has been replaced by the Arteon in most markets, the latter vehicle retains the CC nameplate in China.
Market launch
At its launch in 2008, Volkswagen forecast 300,000 sales over a period of seven years.{{cite web|last=Hansen |first=Ralph |url= http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1023150_volkswagen-passat-cc-gold-coast-edition-debuts-at-pebble-beach |title=Volkswagen Passat CC Gold Coast Edition|publisher=Motor Authority |date=19 August 2008 |access-date=8 March 2013}} The automaker expected that 60% of these sales (about 26,000 units per year) will come from the market of the United States. In China, the CC was released by FAW-Volkswagen on July 15, 2010, and was available in 1.8TSI and 2.0TSI trims.{{cite web|url= http://chinaautoweb.com/2010/07/faw-vw-releases-passat-cc/ |title=FAW-VW releases Passat CC |publisher=ChinaAutoWeb.com |date=15 July 2010 |access-date=8 March 2013}}
Compared to other midsize sedans in the marketplace, the 2013 Volkswagen CC was evaluated by Edmunds as "attractive and higher quality alternative ... though its smallish backseat and trunk may be deal-breakers ... [and] the sport tuned suspension is on the firm side."{{cite web|url= http://www.edmunds.com/volkswagen/cc/2013/ |title=2013 Volkswagen CC |publisher=Edmunds.com |access-date=16 April 2013}} Automotive journalists describe the CC sedan's ride as "nearly sports car firm, with every bump and undulation sent directly to your backside."{{cite web|url= http://www.leftlanenews.com/volkswagen-cc-first-drive-review.html |title=First Drive: 2013 Volkswagen CC [Review] |first=Drew |last=Johnson |date=2 April 2012 |publisher=Left Lane |quote=While the CC does offer cushy seats, luxurious appointments and plenty of room, we found the ride of our 2.0T tester to be anything but comfortable on the pot hole-filled roads of the rear world. |access-date=8 March 2013}}

A facelift to the CC was presented at the LA Auto Show, and production started in January 2012. The front and rear were revised to make the CC look similar to the then current Volkswagen design, while the midsection was unchanged. Interior changes included minor updates to the center console along with an updated A/C control panel. This design was also used in the Passat Alltrack.
Features included:
- improved Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC)
- Bi-Xenon headlights with Advanced Front-Lighting System (AFS) curve lights and Dynamic Light Assist glare-free high beams
- fatigue detection system
- Front Assist with "city emergency braking" system
- Side Assist Plus
- Lane Assist
- Rear Assist
- Park Assist
- Traffic sign recognition
- Easy Open
European engine options remain the same as for the 2011 Passat CC. Transmission options were carried over from the previous version, but the diesel automatic transmission now has with a free wheel function that is claimed to reduce fuel consumption by disengaging the clutch, when the driver lifts their foot from the accelerator.{{cite web|url=http://www.volkswagen.de/content/medialib/vwd4/de/dialog/pdf/volkswagen-cc/katalog/_jcr_content/renditions/rendition.download_attachment.file/volkswagen-cc_katalog.pdf |title=Der neue Volkswagen CC |publisher=volkswagen.de |access-date=2012-08-18}}
The XDS electronic differential brake that was also used in the Golf GTI was available on the CC as standard or optional equipment.{{cite web |url= http://www.volkswagen.de/content/medialib/vwd4/de/dialog/pdf/volkswagen-cc/tup/_jcr_content/renditions/rendition.download_attachment.file/volkswagen-cc_preisliste.pdf |title=Technik und Preise |publisher=volkswagen.de |access-date=2012-01-04 |url-status=dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170126235718/http://www.volkswagen.de/content/medialib/vwd4/de/dialog/pdf/volkswagen-cc/tup/_jcr_content/renditions/rendition.download_attachment.file/volkswagen-cc_preisliste.pdf |archive-date=2017-01-26 }} Initially available only in V6 as an AWD alternative, but diesel versions became available during 2012. Availability of diesel 4WD varied by market.
In January 2013, the optional 2.0 TDI {{convert|170|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} was replaced by an uprated version with {{convert|177|PS|kW hp||abbr=on}}. The torque increased from {{convert|350 to 380|Nm|0|abbr=on}}. In 2015, this was again uprated to {{convert|184|PS|kW hp||abbr=on}}, this time from the new EA288 engine complying with the Euro 6 emissions standard that replaced the previous EA189. Maximum torque remained at {{convert|380|Nm|0|abbr=on}}. The {{convert|140|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}} was uprated to {{convert|150|PS|kW hp|0|abbr=on}}.
