Volkswagen CC R-Line announced for the UK

The Volkswagen CC R-Line (pictured) now on sale in the UK

Earlier this year, Volkswagen decided they’d drop the price of the VW CC just a bit, so with an eye to a tick-box many UK buyers will like they’ve added the VW CC R-Line to the UK options to get some higher price sales in. Effectively an add-on option for the CC GT – which comes with a pretty decent spec anyway – the CC R-Line will get the usual subtle R-Line adornments to add a bit more butch to the appealing four-door coupe.

That includes an R-Line grill with fog lights, new R-Line bumper, bigger sills, LED running lights, R-Line logos, 18″ Mallory Alloys and R-Line steering wheel, all of which adds a perfectly reasonable £650 to the price of the GT CC.

VW are offering two choices of engine on the CC R-Line – the 207bhp 2.0 litre petrol turbo and the 175bhp 2.0 litre turbo diesel BlueMotion – with either a standard six-speed manual or the DSG ‘box as an option.

The VW CC R-Line 2.0-litre TSI 210 PS costs £29,505 (extra £1.4k for the DSG version) and the 2.0-litre TDI BMT 177 PS £30.045 (and an extra £1.07k for the DSG).

The VW CC R-Line is now on sale in the UK with first deliveries due in January 2014.
