How many seconds does the Volkswagen CC take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h?

According to official data, the Volkswagen CC has a total of 8 models, all with a 2.0L displacement, and the 0-100 km/h acceleration time ranges from 7.7 to 8.4 seconds. Factors affecting the vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in layman's terms, indicates how much force is available. The greater the torque, the more force is applied to propel the vehicle, naturally resulting in faster acceleration. For comparison, the LaCrosse in the same class has a maximum torque of 250 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.6 seconds. The Volkswagen CC has two torque types: 350 Nm and 320 Nm, with a maximum 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.4 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission is the medium for transferring power, inevitably involving power loss. The higher the transmission efficiency, the better the acceleration performance. Generally, the ranking of transmission efficiency is as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Volkswagen CC is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is called the power-to-weight ratio (unit: Hp/T). The higher the power-to-weight ratio, the faster the acceleration. For comparison, the LaCrosse in the same class has a power-to-weight ratio of 111 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9.6 seconds. The Volkswagen CC has a power-to-weight ratio of 134 Hp/T, with a maximum 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 8.4 seconds.
I've been driving the Volkswagen CC for a while now. In terms of actual driving experience, the current 2.0T high-power model accelerates from 0-100km/h in just over 7 seconds. Last time I compared it with my friend's A4L 40TFSI, the DSG transmission shifts particularly sharply at launch, and the car leaps forward with just a slight tire slip. The official figure is 7.3 seconds, but in actual tests on dry roads using sport mode, it can be even faster. This performance is more than adequate for daily use, especially for quick overtaking on highways. However, if you're after more thrilling performance, the older 3.6L four-wheel-drive version is much more aggressive, with its sub-6-second acceleration delivering a much stronger push-back sensation, though new models are no longer available in China.
Recently test drove the Volkswagen CC 380TSI and specifically measured its acceleration performance. With ESP off and in S mode, holding the revs at 2000 rpm for a launch start, the transmission responded quickly with almost no delay. The body lifted slightly, and the front wheels spun a bit before taking off. The best time out of three attempts was 7.1 seconds, slightly faster than the official 7.3 seconds. The EA888 engine paired with the 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission works in perfect harmony, especially during mid-range acceleration from 40 to 80 km/h, which feels particularly exhilarating. However, it's worth noting that tuning varies by model year; for example, the 2019 China V model is about 0.2 seconds faster than the current China VI B version.
As a repair technician with twenty years of driving experience, I've worked on quite a few CC models. The current best-selling 2.0T high-power version achieves a 0-100 km/h acceleration time between 7.2 and 7.8 seconds in stock condition. This is quite impressive for a front-wheel-drive car, mainly thanks to the fast gear shifts of the transmission. However, there's a detail: during summer with the air conditioning on, actual tests show it's about 0.3 seconds slower due to the additional load from the compressor. With a stage 1 tune, it could join the 6-second club, but the clutch plates would need reinforcement. What I miss the most are the 2009 batch of CCs with the VR6 naturally aspirated engines—that exhaust note was truly classic.
