Does the Passat have a V6 engine?
Engines offered in the CC mirror those of the regular Passat, with options of the base 2. V-6, which includes 4-motion all wheel drive. Although the CC is marketed as a more luxurious Passat B6, it comes in with a lower price tag. If you’re looking for that middle ground, and optimum luxury is your goal, then the CC might be the right option for you. If you’re looking for a daily driver that is more about your family than that executive feel behind the wheel, the Passat is a winner when it comes to pricing, options and interior space.
Why did VW stop making V6?
Building fewer standardized powertrains in its products is better for vw’s bottom line, especially with the transition to evs. With the company’s current financial woes, the move to axe the vr6 permanently comes as little surprise. The vw vr6 is a 10 or 15 degree v6 (the angle between the two cylinder banks) with a single cylinder head. Most v6s are 60 or 90 degrees with two cylinder heads.The VR6 is a highly compact engine, thanks to the narrower angle of 10. V6 angles ranging from 45 to 90 degrees.The name VR6 comes from the combination of German words “V-Motor” and “Reihenmotor” meaning “inline engine” referring to the VR-engine having characteristics of both a V-layout and a inline layout. It stands out from most other V6 engines thanks to its unique layout.
