VW keeps updating the Arteon but not it's marketing. It's still put forth as an over-priced halo car to dress up the showroom. You come for an Arteon...you drive off in a Jetta.

Heres the thing. This may be an Audi with a vw badge, but when it may come time for repairs and stuff, you pay the vw price for it rather than the Audi price, even though some parts are the same price. That to me is a big deal

Love the ride of this car without the price tag of Bmw, Merc or Audi, bought one last month for half the price of what it sold for brand new and couldn’t be happier.

If they ever make these available with a manual transmission in the US it'll be the first car I'd ever consider buying brand new.

I'm currently considering the Volvo XC60 Ultimate and Arteon Premium. Similar features really (except the VW is missing front cooled seats, front massage and rear heat due to chip shortage). Volvo $65k, VW $50k.... I'm having trouble justifying the $15k for the Volvo.

Weird how at 5:03 with the adaptive cruise control, it shows an image of a MK7.5 Golf instead of an Arteon. I know on the Tiguan, it shows an image of a Tiguan, and on my Golf R, it shows an image of a Golf.

new infotainment system? dude, that's like 3 or 4 yrs old.

My first Volkswagen sedan!! Nice job Ben.

If it’s a great car, why are you worrying about it’s sales? Just be happy that they’re offering it to people who may not have Audi money.

This is a great car. Entry level same as BMW 228i. This has the same features and more power(300) and it does moves fast with more space than a 228I.

may be suitable for Openpilot, open source hands-free driving

This is Slower Than a Toyota Avalon/Crown

That's not a 2023. The 2023 doesn't come in that color (it was replaced with Kingfisher Blue)

The exhaust outlets on the Arteon are actually Real. Unlike the rest of the lineup.

Arteon is a beautiful car and especially now with R power but the price and depreciation just wait for a pre-owned to get

[dcpiloti]

I'm currently renting the exact same spec, except it's grey. IMO, it's...nice. Couple of things, though, keep it from being great. For a "Sport Sedan" the driver's seat sits high, even adjusted to its lowest setting. The steering is surprisingly vague. And even with 300hp, the power delivery feels slower and less exciting than you'd expect. That said, it's great looking, very comfortable, great fit/finish and nice tech. But, yeah...A Honda Accord or Kia Stinger is a better way to go...

[TheDarkSideSP]

As others have pointed out, this is the 2022 model.... you gave me false hope that the 2023 was offered in Lapiz -_-

[gladdy]

Beautiful car but i wouldn't pick one up withiut significant discounts

[cliffordzellner]

Got to give a thumbs up to the sedans out there.

[harrycee]

Truck & SUV drives like an Arteon or vice versa is kinda off.
