We drive the Rakish Neue Volkswagen Arteon – a Stunner who was charged as “Avant Garde Sport Turismo” …
What is that?
The spacious Arteon sits over the Passat in the VW area and has a dramatic Fastback design.
One could say that his competitors include everything from Skoda Superb and Vauxhall Insignia Grand Sport to Kia Stinger, Audi S5 Sportback and BMW Gran Coupé.
It is from 31,005 GBP to 39,995 GBP and is available in two well-equipped equipment variants and a sporty R-Line.
It was developed to carry five people in style and comfort, and has a generous luggage capacity of 563 liters under his enormous hatch or even more impressive 1,557 liters, with the rear seats down.
Unnecessary to mention that the Arteon is a solid piece kit and is packed with Tech -Tech driver -tech with autonomous emergency braking (AEB). Therefore, he received a maximum of five stars in Euro -ncap -Crash Security tests.
First impressions
If big, stylish salons are your thing, the Arteon (although it is a fluid rear) can be good for you.
From his imposing grille with full width, along his elegant profile with a weird roof and frameless windows and to his tapered rear, it certainly turns your heads.
It is also impressive inside where it seeps space (although greater than average adults can fight headroom in the back thanks to the coupé-like roof line) and it definitely has a premium feeling.
Engine options
The Arteon is available with two petrol engines (1.5 liters and 2.0 liters) or a 2.0-liter diesel.
The units are all charged with a number of different outputs and you can choose between a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed car DSG transmission. There is also a 4Motion all -wheel drive.
I tested the lowering version of the 2.0-liter diesel (148 hp), which is expected to be the most popular choice in the elegance cladding with DSG box (with pretty little paddle slide that are well integrated into the steering wheel).
It is a sprint of 0-62 miles per hour in 9.1 seconds, a top speed of 137 km/h, fuel consumption of 62.8 MPG (the manual version is even more economical at 65.7 MPG) with CO2 emissions of only 116 g/km.
How does it drive?
As long as you do not expect performance Sports Saloon, the VW Arteon will not disappoint. It is of its best cruise cars and waves around in general.
The engine creates more than enough strength to conveniently promote this large car, but here is the thing, it can do it very economically.
Without trying, my test car reached more than 50 MPG for mixed runs, including a lot of highway, which for a car of this size is fantastic – and I suspect that 60 MPG may be accessible.
You can choose between five driving modes (eco, comfort, normal, sport and individual). Sport will revitalize things a little, but to be honest, it is hard to change from comfort, because that’s what the Arteon is about.
There is no orientation from the fact that it is a large car and the width is particularly noticeable, but it is well considered and seems to be quite planted. It is also happy enough for most, but the journey is a little floating and there is a hint of body rolls in the curve, best to just take it.
The cabin is refined, with little engine or street noise spoiling the calm and with a standard kit, including Nappa leather seats, Volkswagen’s Slick Active Info Digital Display, a large 8-inch infotainment touchscreen as well as a lot of technology including adaptive cruise control.
Volkswagen Arteon: The judgment
The Volkswagen Arteon is a surprisingly economical, sophisticated, distinctive -looking cruiser, which is filled with space with technical and glorious bags. The big question is whether VW buyers can be used on premium competitors to take this highly competent car into account.
