Passat CC BlueTDI launches in June with world’s cleanest diesel
Extremely fuel efficient Passat CC BlueTDI with SCR catalytic converter attains Euro-6 limits
Exclusive touring sedan is based on the new Passat CC Individual
Wolfsburg / Geneva, 03 March 2009
The Passat CC is one of the most attention provoking new vehicles of the past year. No wonder: The four-door coupé from Volkswagen brings extraordinary design, impressive drive systems and technology plus highlights from the luxury class into a vehicle that has so far been unique in the Passat’s car segment. Now the Passat CC arrives as a BlueTDI with a new diesel, pointing the way to an environmentally friendly future. The Blue TDI combines the economy of the BlueMotion concept with clean emissions that match those of a high-tech gasoline engine. Technical background: The common rail TDI engine of the new Passat CC BlueTDI will be combined with a SCR catalytic converter that reduces nitrogen oxide emissions to below 80 mg/km as standard equipment. The "CC" therefore already conforms to the limits of the Euro-6 emissions standard scheduled to take effect in the year 2014. The BlueTDI version of the touring sedan being shown in Geneva is based on the brand new Passat CC Individual. Identifying feature: the finest of materials and most exclusive equipment. This Volkswagen is ideal as an alternative for all those car drivers who want to drive a high performance touring sedan while simultaneously making a statement about sustainability. Because the Passat CC BlueTDI Individual unites both of these: high exclusivity and extremely low emissions.
The BlueTDI of the 214 km/h four door car has its technical origins in the latest configuration of the 103 kW / 140 PS 2.0 liter common rail engine. Yet, the BlueTDI develops even more power at 105 kW / 143 PS. Despite the power gain, the Passat CC BlueTDI consumes 0.4 liters less than the 140 PS TDI. In the Passat CC BlueTDI with 6-speed stick-shift transmission, fuel consumption is 5.2 liters (139 g/km CO2). This average fuel consumption underscores the Passat CC’s positioning as an exemplary touring sedan. The average distance between fueling stops is a considerable 1,346 kilometers.
The BlueTDI version of the Passat CC goes into production at the beginning of June. In keeping with its exclusive positioning, it will also be available with a DSG 6-speed dual clutch transmission (consumption: 5.8 l/100 km; 153 g/km CO2).
SCR catalytic converter and AdBlue are keys to lowest NOx emissions
Ensuring the extremely low nitrogen oxide values in the generally very clean exhaust gases of the Passat CC BlueTDI is the highly sophisticated SCR catalytic converter used in tandem with the additive AdBlue. The acronym SCR stands for the internationally recognized term "Selective Catalytic Reduction". "Selective" refers to the fact that this catalytic converter performs a very special task. Its job is to selectively convert nitrogen oxide (NOx) components of the exhaust gas into nitrogen and water. The SCR catalytic converter was developed precisely for this highly specialized task. In addition, however, an oxidation catalytic converter and a diesel particulate filter are on board to reduce the entire range of emissions.
Exclusive Individual features
The Individual version of the Passat CC BlueTDI leaves the factory with standard newly designed 18-inch "Chicago black" type alloy wheels. Optional 19-inch "Lugano" alloy wheels will be available early this summer.
Inside, all new Passat CC Individual cars offer standard two-tone leather seat covers on their 6-way power comfort seats (with memory function). The seat surfaces are treated in the high-end soft leather known as "cool leather" ("Nougat" color) with airflow perforations; this material reflects sunlight especially well, keeping it pleasantly cool. In the outer areas of the seats, a color coordinated, black nappa leather is used that is stitched with nougat-colored seams. The front armrest and the main surfaces of the door inserts are treated in the "Nougat" leather look too. These colors are also reflected in the leather steering wheel and gearshift lever: here the black leather elements are joined by nougat-colored seams. Black fabric floor mats are also upgraded by nougat-colored piping. Accents on the CC instrument panels and doors are in high-gloss black piano paint.
In addition, the Passat CC Individual will offer ambiance lighting in the doors and footwell areas as well as an extended chrome package as standard equipment. This includes special chrome rings on the interior door handles, chrome caps on the window lift and central locking switches and chrome around the mirror adjustment controls. Door tread plates in the front also come with an elegant white-illuminated "Volkswagen Individual" signature; the front signatures are elegantly illuminated in white light. By the way, the new Passat CC Individual with its familiar TDI and TSI engines will launch immediately.
