Leaked: 2009 Volkswagen Passat CC 4Door-Coupe Images

A whole set of images featuring the all-new 2009 Passat CC have been leaked into the net prior to the official unveiling of VW’s four-door coupe at the Detroit Show later in the day. The sporty-looking Passat CC follows in the footsteps of the Mercedes-Benz CLS model, though it will cost considerably less when it enters the market in the second half of the year.

Based on the Passat’s platform and running gear, the CC’s most prominent design features are the coupe-like styled roof and the distinctive rear-end design. Inside, the dashboard is carried over virtually unchanged from the ‘basic” Passat. According to our information, the CC will be offered with three petrol engines including two four cylinder units, the 160 HP 1.8 TSi and 200 HP 2.0 TFSi and the new 300 HP 3.6 V6 FSi. In Europe (maybe even in the States), VW will also offer a range of turbodiesel engine units. -Follow the jump for the image gallery
