U.S. EPA
In our hands, the CC returned a healthy 25 mpg in mixed driving.
Car and Driver
The V-6 slurped fuel, by VW standards, and also felt a bit sluggish.
USA Today
The CC four-cylinder isn't class-leading, but it's mileage is about the same as four-cylinder models of other engaging sedans such as the Mazda6 and Nissan Altima.
Next year Volkswagen will introduce a new Passat, which will be considerably greener, as most of the lineup will be powered by a TDI diesel four-cylinder allowing a highway rating of more than 40 mpg.
Conclusion
For such a large sedan, the Volkswagen CC is a reasonably green choice—provided you get it in four-cylinder form.
