However, the model's age is taking its toll, and many buyers have started looking at competitors. And this despite the fact that in 2013 a minor facelift was carried out.
Therefore, for fans of the German brand, good news was that a successor would soon appear. And this week, as part of the Geneva Motor Show, the presentation took place. VW introduced the new Sport Coupe GTE concept.
As before, despite the fact that the CC is based on the platform of the modest Passat sedan, it will be completely different in perception. Engineers achieve this through unique design, modified wheelbase, and more premium styling and materials.
The concept car is based on the flexible MQB platform, which allows for a structure with a huge interior, while being relatively small in its class. For example, with a length of 4,869 mm, the car has a wheelbase of 3,020 mm, which allows adding space in the cabin, which in turn affects the seating comfort of both front and rear passengers.
The car has a hybrid powertrain with a total output of 374 hp. It includes a gasoline V6 with 295 hp and two electric motors, front – 54 hp and rear – 114 hp. Torque from the main gasoline engine is transmitted to the wheels via a six-speed automatic DSG gearbox.
