What is the difference between Volkswagen Arteon and the new CC?
2 Answers
There is no difference between the Volkswagen Arteon and the new CC. Arteon is the name of the overseas version, while CC is the name of the domestic version. Essentially, the Arteon is the domestic Volkswagen CC. The new Volkswagen CC has been well-received by many consumers since its launch. The new CC features a more stylish appearance, a wider body, and retains the frameless door design. The dimensions of the new CC are 4865mm in length, 1870mm in width, and 1459mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2841mm. The car is a 5-door, 5-seat hatchback. The new CC is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 137kW and a maximum torque of 137Nm.
I've driven both the old CC and the new Arteon, with the main differences lying in design and technology. The Arteon has a more streamlined exterior, resembling a four-door coupe with hidden rear door handles that look particularly cool; the old CC was less aggressive, with straighter lines. Inside, the Arteon features a large touchscreen with voice-controlled navigation, while the old CC had a much smaller screen and more buttons, making it less convenient to use. The powertrain is similar, both equipped with a 2.0T engine, but the Arteon adds driver assistance features like automatic emergency braking, which the old CC lacked. In terms of space, the Arteon offers slightly more rear legroom and a more practical trunk. Overall, the Arteon is an upgraded version of the old CC—the name changed, but the essence remains. If buying new, I'd recommend the Arteon for its style and safety. The old CC is a classic, but it might be mistaken for an outdated model on the road.
