The Infiniti though manages to hold the second position with 208 horsepower at 5500 rpm. Next up is the 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan with 200 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque while the BMW 320i is the least powerful among the four with the lowest of 180 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 200 pound-feet of torque at 1250 rpm.

Acceleration

The 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan offers moderate performance. The VW Sedan completes its 0-60 mpg run within 7.0 seconds. Reaching from 0 to 60 mph in an incredible 5.7 seconds, the Infiniti surprises everyone, especially the Volvo S60 which comes second with a timing of 6.5 seconds although it houses the most powerful engine.

The 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan and the BMW 320i prove to be the slowest to reach the 60 mph mark with only a difference of a millisecond between the two - 7 seconds and 7.1 seconds respectively.

But over the quarter-mile, the statistics rearrange drastically as the Volvo lives up to its reputation of housing the most powerful engine and leaves everyone behind by covering the distance the fastest in just 15.1 seconds. Even then BMW changes its place with the 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan by reaching the quarter-mile mark in 15.2 seconds while Volkswagen does it in 15.3 seconds. The 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan and the Infiniti Q50 are seen to have the most emissions in a year while the Volvo is the least emitting in the lot.

Handling and Steering

The 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan can feel a little sloppy on the road mainly because of its under-damped suspension which causes an annoying amount of body rolls. Contrary to its sporty looks, it doesn't handle like one. Thankfully, the steering wheel is electrically assisted and works precisely, especially during turns. It does, however, lack the necessary front wheel feedback that some drivers desire.

Braking

The braking mechanism of the 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan can be rated as average. The brakes don't feel that powerful when you try to slow it down from highway speeds.

With the biggest front and rear brakes, the Infiniti is the quickest among the four to stop, coming down from 60 mph by covering only 109 feet. It is followed by the BMW which does it in 116 feet. Lastly, the 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan and Volvo don\u2019t seem to do so good with their braking and take a similar distance of 120 feet to come to a halt from 60 mph.

The 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan struggles a bit in its fuel economy ratings and it can be aptly pointed out that the lack of manual transmission might be the reason for its not-so-impressive numbers.

The Volvo S60 stands out in the table as the most fuel-efficient vehicle among the four with the best ratings of 25 mpg in the cities, 39 mpg on the highways, and 29 mpg combined which is an outstanding fuel economy given the fact that it puts out the most powerful engine performance.

The front seats of the 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan are well padded with a good amount of bolstering. The low position of the rear seats and the unsupportive knee bend can be uncomfortable. The middle rear seat is quite hard and the armrests are nicely padded.

All four cars have a similar passenger capacity of 5. In the case of the front headroom, the BMW impresses significantly while the Volkswagen CC Sedan isn't as spacious as the competition. The Infiniti however dominates the legroom for the front passengers while the 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan continues to struggle with that as well.

Coming to the rear seats, the BMW once more offers the most generous headroom while the 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan, again, fails to impress. However, Volkswagen tries to stay in the game by offering generous legroom for the passengers while the Volvo doesn't do so well in this regard.

Infiniti Q50 Pure 2.0t vs Volkswagen CC

It comes with two engine options - a 2-liter turbocharged inline-4 cylinder engine and a 3-liter twin-turbo V6 engine for those who aspire for enhanced performance.

When compared with the 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan, it has a better engine performance, impressive acceleration and braking, fairly similar fuel economy, and a much better interior seating area.

BMW 320i vs Volkswagen CC 

The BMW 320i is a part of the trademark 3-series of BMW that was a benchmark for Sport sedans because of its unparalleled tactility. You get a 2-liter four-cylinder engine coupled with a standard 8-speed automatic transmission and an optional 6-speed manual transmission which sends the power to either an all-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive system.

Against the 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan, it lacks behind in terms of engine performance, does equally well in acceleration, and even better in braking. Its fuel economy is better and so is the interior space.

Volvo S60 T5 Dynamic vs Volkswagen CC 

The Swedish inspired Volvo S60 T5 Dynamic is an ideal blend of safety features, good looks, and on-road smartness. Offering a peppy and powerful engine, upscale interior materials, comfortable seats, and plenty of technology like pedestrian detection and collision warning, and automated emergency braking,

The Volvo doesn't take much time to attract sedan lovers. In comparison with the 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan, it has massively powerful engine output and acceleration while being way more fuel-efficient. 

The 2017 Volkswagen CC Sedan is an overall good car on its own but when it's compared to its rivals in the market, it is seen to be struggling a lot. Plus, the price can be another setback. However, it does come with a superior build quality and a comfortable interior that is quite expected from a german brand like Volkswagen. Also, it does offer plenty of safety features that adds on further to its context of consideration. Thus, it will be fair to conclude that Volkswagen CC Sedan needs to bring in improvements to compete with its rivals.
