Product Overview
Volkswagen Arteon (typ 3H) is a compact executive sedan in production from 2017 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 engines that displaced 1.5 to 2.0 liters.
The successor to the VW CC, the Arteon offers rather spacious interior combined with a decent exterior design. Curiously, both 7-speed DCT and 8-speed automatic transmissions are used alongside the 6-speed manual. Even though the engines are small, some are rather potent.
Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the Volkswagen Arteon is limited by MacPherson strut front suspensions.

Reviewer score 57%The 1.5-litre TSI, borrowed from the latest Golf, brings the list price (and benefit-in-kind tax) down to a more fleet-friendly level. It produces a Golf-matching 147bhp and 184lb ft of torque, yet still manages to propel the considerably heavier Arteon from 0-62mph in 8.3sec. As well as losing out on performance to its range mates, it sends drive to the front wheels only instead of all four, and comes with a six-speed manual gearbox as standard.

Reviewer score 38%Inside, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, with the stark, clean, expansive architecture left slightly hanging by a range of materials and finishes that don’t do an awful lot to excite. 4Motion models come with active DCC dampers and a 15mm drop in ride height as standard. The total outlay was £34,555, which places the car, well, where among the alternatives, exactly?

Reviewer score 64%The Arteon is the latest in a line of large executive models built by the German firm. It follows on from the CC and Phaeton as a luxury car for the masses. There are just two trim levels - Elegance and R-Line - and you won't find S, SE or SEL models making up the numbers.

Pros
- Cheap to run

- Lack of headroom in the back
- No automatic gearbox

Reviewer score 64%New four-door Volkswagen Arteon makes a great first impression on our long-term fleet. 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel engine is really punchy, and the steering is direct and well weighted. The seats are comfortable, too, and are of a high quality. Unfortunately the tailgate is giving me a headache – not because I've bumped my head on it, but because it never seems to behave.

Cons
- Poor driver’s seat leather
- Poor interior quality

Reviewer score 75%Even on its smallest 18-inch wheels, the Arteon has an excellent stance on the road. The steering is relatively light but quick and responsive, and the ride quality is superb. Volkswagen's XDS cross-differential system is standard on all Arteons. The car is best viewed as an alternative to things like the A5 and A7.

- Lack of standard tech
- No 4Motion all-wheel drive

Reviewer score 72%The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon plays like VW's Greatest Hits, but it's also a remix with a unique twist on the familiar. The ride is smooth and pleasant with an ease to the steering that feels light, but not numb, with a responsiveness and directness. The turbo-four is a good fit for a vehicle of this size, delivering good off-the-line performance.

Cons
- Lacklustre tech
- No adaptive cruise control

Reviewer score 69%Volkswagen's MQB platform continues to impress us with its refinement and solidity. Ride quality is excellent as long as the car is set in comfort or normal modes. With its excellent road manners and generous cargo space, the Arteon would be a great road trip car. While styling is subjective, we also feel the VW is better looking than the Nissan.
