Some five months after announcing the new 2013 CC R-Line, Volkswagen has released U.S. pricing for the latest addition to its “four-door” coupe’s lineup.
The somewhat sportier looking, but not faster, CC R-line will start at $32,195, excluding an $825 destination fee (*), when it reaches dealerships just before the end of the year.
The R-Line version uses the same 2.0-liter TSI turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 200hp and 207 lb-ft of torque, mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic driving the front wheels, as the base Sport model.
For an additional $1,945 over the CC Sport, you get 18-inch “Mallory” alloy wheels with all-season 235/40 tires, a different front bumper that incorporates a large lower air intake and projector-style fog lights, side skirts, and R-Line badging, along with a standard RNS 315 navigation system and paddle shifters for models equipped with the DSG transmission.
