Volkswagen CC made it's world premiere last November at Los Angeles Motor Show. Germany and Luxembourg will get it 1st starting this February, followed by the rest of the European market and ending with America, Asia and Russia in Spring 2012. Previously kwon as the Volkswagen Passat CC, the CC now has the front and rear section redesigned and had some minor changes inside. Driver assistance system, Dynamic Light Assist and camera-based traffic sign detection system were added.In the european market, Volkswagen CC will be launched with 6 engines, all with direct injection and battery regeneration functionality.

Even before it has hit UK roads, the new Volkswagen up! has claimed top honours at the prestigious What Car? awards, being named Car of the Year for 2012 as well as best City Car.  Taking the Car of the Year title for the sixth time makes Volkswagen the most successful manufacturer at the What Car? awards since they began in 1978. It was a highly successful night for the manufacturer overall at the motor industry’s annual ‘Oscars’ held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London, with the Golf returning as winner of the Small Family Car category for the sixth time overall and fourth consecutive year, and Volkswagen also taking the coveted Safety Award. Commenting on the awards, What Car? editor-in-chief Chas Hallett said: ‘The Volkswagen up! sets new standards for a car at £10,000.  It’s a city car that can seat four adults, while offering new levels of refinement, quality and maturity at this price; none of its rivals feels quite so grown-up.  Buyers will be looking for even more for their money than ever in 2012, so the up! is a worthy winner of the What Car? Car of the Year.’

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles has announced details of a stylish special edition model for its luxury, executive Caravelle passenger carrying range, the Edition 25. Only 225 UK examples of the Caravelle Edition 25 will be available in the UK, all exclusively finished in Candy White, or optional Reflex Silver metallic paint, with unique styling cues to help this latest model stand out from the crowd.

Volkswagen has today released the first images of its new CC, which will be officially unveiled at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 16. If it looks familiar, don’t be surprised: over 270,000 people across the world have been won over by its predecessor the Volkswagen Passat CC’s blend of four-door practicality and sleek coupé-like styling. At the front, the new radiator grille has strong horizontal lines that represent Volkswagen’s new design DNA, flanked by new bi-xenon headlights and topped with a reprofiled bonnet. The bumper is different, too, with a new extra air intake, and silver-coloured ‘winglets’ that frame the fog lights. Along the side, the frameless doors are carried over from the previous model, but more sculpted sills, revised bumpers and the new bonnet add up to create a subtly updated silhouette.
