In an interview with Automotive News, Volkswagen of America CEO Stefan Jacoby revealed that the newly unveiled Passat CC will start below $27,000 in the US. It’s a reasonable price for a car that looks much more expensive than the Passat. What more, that undercuts the Mercedes Benz CLS by, well, a lot.
The Passat CC is supposed to close the gap between the Passat and the Phaeton when it returns to the US smaller, cheaper, and with a diesel in the hood. Eventually, another model to be slotted between the Passat CC and the Phaeton will even things out even more.
