Volkswagen Passat CC Now Available as Five-Seater

Volkswagen has announced plans to introduce a 5-seat version of the Passat CC.

Originally available only as a 4 seater, the Passat CC will now offer an optional rear bench owed to consumer demand. According to Volkswagen the move will "give the Passat CC even greater everyday utility by adding a seating position."

Priced from €100, the rear bench features 3 head restraints, a center 3-point seat belt, also an asymmetrically split folding backrest.

As you might recall, the Passat CC is available with a wide variety of engine. Options include a 2.0-liter TSI with 200 horsepower, a 3.6-liter V6 FSI with 280 horsepower and a 2.0-liter TDI with 140 horsepower.
