Shanghai, October 12 (Gasgoo.com) Volkswagen's Chinese partner FAW Group is expected to put the VW Passat CC into production in China early next year, China Car Times said last week.

The Passat CC is likely to have its name changed to Magotan CC for the Chinese market and may be equipped with the locally built 1.8TSI or 2.0TSI engine which is shared by the regular Magotan sedan line-up.

The Passat CC is currently sold in China for just over 500,000 yuan ($73,200) with a 3.6l AWD setup, and the future Chinese built one is likely to be FWD and with only the 4 cylinder engines available, China Car Times said.
