Volkswagen New Midsize Coupe Concept is an Aspirational Jetta
Meet the Volkswagen baby CC. Okay, that's not really it's name (VW calls it the New Midsize Coupe Concept), but this sleek, four-door coupe draws more than a little inspiration from the CC while riding on VW's MQB platform.

It's a looker, we think, and is an eye-pleasing departure from the bland styling of the current Jetta. The sleeker front end is complemented by a wider body overall (it's wider than a Passat), while the more sporting roofline and the sharp rear fascia gives the New VW Midsize Coupe a decidedly sporting character. LED head- and taillights add a bit more personality to this already stylish design.

Thanks to its 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder, it should get along rather sportingly, as well. The run to 100 km/h takes just 6.5 seconds thanks to the 217 horsepower on offer. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is also fitted, and contributes to an estimated 37 miles per gallon.
