Report: Volkswagen CC Gets the R-Line Treatment

Volkswagen has just announced the release of a new R-Line package for the sporty CC sedan in Europe. Available with all engine types, the R-Line trim delivers an aggressive aero kit including a new front lip and side skirts with R-Line logos. Out back, the taillights also get smoked. A set of 17-inch R-Line wheels with 235/45/17 tires are included, with an option to upgrade to 18s.

Other parts of the package include R-Line kick plates, sport seats, climate control, fog lights and a leather steering wheel with redundant controls.

The addition of the R-Line package to the CC, means that VW now offers eight R-Line models in Euroe. There is no official word if this package will be offered in North America, but we’ll keep our fingers crossed.
