Are You Ready For The Volkswagen Arteon?
What Is It?
The Volkswagen Arteon is a feat of German engineering
that proves the skill and precision that goes into crafting a machine like
this. This fastback is a powerful, spacious and incredibly stylish model that
affords its drivers luxury and comfort wherever they go. Its striking aesthetic
adds to its powerful looks and makes heads turn. The Arteon only further
emphasises Volkswagen’s status as an industry leader thanks to its innovative
features and overall design.
An Interactive Experience
The Arteon’s Active Info Display features a 12.3” screen
which the driver can customise. This means that you can change the information
displayed within the traditional speedometer and rev counter panel. This VW
model also features infotainment, satellite navigation and driver-assist
systems. The infotainment system also has Gesture Control which takes your
driving experience even further into the future. This feature senses your hand
movements so that you can swipe and toggle without touching the screen.
360-degree View
Thanks to its Area View and four cameras at the front,
sides and rear, the Arteon provides a 360° display in the infotainment display.
Buyers can opt for the Park Package with Area View.
Interior Comforts
The interior of the Arteon is luxurious, spacious and
extremely sleek. It seems reminiscent of the Passat thanks to its soft-touch
dashboard and minimalistic beauty. The elegant and contemporary interior
upholstery is available in a variety of premium materials and colours so that
each driver can tailor their Arteon to their tastes.
Hidden Power
The power hidden in the sleek and striking Arteon comes
in the form of a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine, with impressive outputs of 130
kW and 350 Nm. The 2.0 TDI DSG is available in Elegance and R-line trim lines
and has a claimed consumption of just 5.6 L/100 km.

What Do We
Think?
Despite
being slightly more expensive than the base Audi A5 Sportback, the Arteon is a
fully-loaded vehicle that even includes some dealer accessories. We think that
the grey-on-grey interior could use a bit of a re-design and might not be as
conceptually challenging as the rest of the Arteon, but we respect VW’s
hallmark style.
