The same brave men the found the China-made Toyota Prius in ice-cold Changchun found another interesting car, a Volkswagen Passat CC (simply called CC in China) with V6-badges and the FAW-Volkswagen logo on the back.

The Volkswagen Passat CC, simply called Volkswagen CC in China, is currently imported. That will change from April when local production starts at the FAW-VW joint venture in Changchun in Jilin province. The China-made CC will then be listed in April. Engines: 1.8 TSI and 2.0 TSI. Local production will enable Volkswagen to lower prices a lot. The price of the imported car starts at 250.000 yuan, price of the locally made car will start around 200.000 yuan.
China-Made Volkswagen CC Listed and Priced

The CC is made by FAW-Volkswagen in Changchun and hit la market yesterday. Price starts at 252.800 yuan for the basic 1.8 and ends at 299.980 for the most expensive 2.0. There is though a small catch; production of the 1.8 will only start next year.
Question is whether Chinese people will buy it, the cc-style is a relative new concept for China. Benz tried first with the CLS but those are very few around. Chinese customers like to be chauffeured and in cc-cars they can’t. Maybe some young, cool and hip will like it but I doubt they’d buy a Volkswagen, they rather go for a BMW instead.
