Volkswagen’s newest luxury sedan, the CC (or the Passat CC), has done it again. This graceful four-door coupe, brought out only recently, has already won the prestigious iF Product Design Award as well as the Australian International Design Award. And now Volkswagen can add the Red Dot Design Award to its list of achievements.

One of the most sought after design awards, the Red Dot prize has been presented annually since 1955 by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen on the best designs in the world, and was received this year by Volkswagen designer Martin Kropp on behalf of his whole team.

The 2009 Volkswagen Passat CC has won the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s Top Safety Pick award. “The TOP SAFETY PICK award from the IIHS is a tremendous honor for our CC,” said Mark Barnes, Chief Operating Officer, Volkswagen of America, Inc.

“We are thrilled when organizations like the IIHS recognize the hard work of our engineers who are dedicated to the safety of our customers. This award further validates Volkswagen’s Prevent and Preserve Safety System approach to vehicle safety.” To get the Top Safety Pick rating, a vehicle must score tops in front, side and rear impact results. The CC fits into the IIHS’s ‘midsize, moderately priced cars’ category for measuring purposes.
