2 Answers
There is no difference between the Volkswagen Arteon and the new CC. The Arteon is the name of the overseas version, while the CC is the name of the domestic version. Essentially, the Arteon is the domestic version of the Volkswagen CC. Taking the 2021 Volkswagen Arteon as an example, it belongs to the midsize car category with the following dimensions: length 4865mm, width 1870mm, height 1459mm, wheelbase 2841mm, fuel tank capacity 66l, and curb weight 1640kg. The 2021 Volkswagen Arteon is equipped with a 2.0L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 186PS, maximum power of 137kW, and maximum torque of 320Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Let me share the differences between Arteon and CC based on my daily driving experience. The CC was Volkswagen's early coupe model, which I drove for several years. It has a comfortable and stable chassis, making city commutes effortless, but the design does feel somewhat conservative and dated. As the successor model, the Arteon immediately feels more agile in handling and slightly more fuel-efficient, providing greater confidence during high-speed cornering. Both offer spacious interiors, but the Arteon's seats provide better support, preventing back pain during long drives. In terms of practicality, the Arteon's trunk is slightly larger, making it more convenient for luggage. Overall, the Arteon has a stronger modern appeal, suitable for younger drivers, while the CC is more subdued and family-oriented. You'll know which one to choose once you've driven them.
