If you're wondering - have I seen this video before? Well, you may well have! This is a much needed edit and chop down of my original review of the Arteon. I wasn't very pleased with the video as a whole. This new one is half the length of the original, yet still gives you all the same information and should just flow a lot better.

I bought a six month old Arteon two months ago. It is quite luxurious, the ride is smooth unless you put it in Sport mode and, as you pointed out, it’s cavernous inside. I came from a Kia Stinger which I really liked. The Arteon is not quite as rare as the Stinger and easily matches it in comfort and room although it doesn’t have quite the power of the Stinger but I never really used it to its full potential anyway. The Arteon has plenty enough power for me and it’s a beautiful looking car.

Just got mines last week. In pearl white with 32k miles on it. Such a beautiful and sharp car, I get looks everywhere I go lol

Nice Video. I have a 2019 Arteon R-Line 190 TDI. and absolutly love it. Like you mentioned I like the fact that there's not many around. :) Great car.

I have the Arteon with 190 HP Petrol Engine. I love this car pretty much. Nice Video, thanx.

I recently went from an A5 sport back to the Arteon and absolutely love it. As you mentioned, it’s a rare car which I really like. I’ve gone for the facelifted Shooting Brake version with the hybrid drivetrain.
One thing to note is that if you have an Apple device and use Apple Maps you do get it repeated into the dash cluster but not Google for some reason?
In comparison to the A5, I think it’s better looking, more aggressive especially the front end, love the dancing back lights and is also MUCH better equipped. It’s also a bigger, more practical car with, in my opinion better build and material choice quality.
Hands down the better car.

I’m not a car person but I enjoy watching your vids 👍🏻

Just picked up a 2020 SEL R Line with 32k. Love it!

I like the touch screen built in rather than the latest trend to glue a tablet onto the dash top afterthought.

First time I've watched one of your videos, it was very relaxing!

I have the 2019 240bhp arteon and love it! I chose it for the simple reason that you don't see many on the road at all.

I've always been a fan of the Mercedes CLS, so when VW offered their Passat/CC, I started paying more attention. When the Arteon was introduced, I thought it was stunning (still do). In 2021, I bought a used 2019 with only 24k miles. It's beautiful, rare (I don't see them anywhere!) and I've never had more curiosity about and compliments for a car. It's cavernous, comfortable, competent, and quietly classy.

Now hear me out...I was a bit scared that I didn't see these great car around. I love the car looks and drive. Your review was spot on. Keep the style keep the voice keep it coming.
Gone to your review late in the day but I'm glad I did. Bravo.

I own an oryx white '21 SEL R-Line. I got it because VW put food on my plate once upon a time and they were my very first new car; I went from early 90's Japanese clunkers to a 2016 Jetta S, then a '19 Jetta R-Line, both of which I loved. When it was time to move on I considered a GTI for the fun factor but felt maybe I was a bit too old for a hatchback. The newest GLI was a slightly more practical contender, and the Passat GT would have been if it had survived for longer than a year. Then I saw the Arteon and that was it, bang. Classy styling I think will hold up over time, beautiful lights, a ton of room (I'm 6'3" with a wife and a dog we take everywhere) and then I woke it up with a tune and intake

I think I have the nicest car on the block and as a bonus, it's a conversation starter because nobody even knows it exists ^^

[CrashbangXD]

Genuinely a great video and used it to make my choice

So funnily enough I’ll be one of those company reps you’re talking about! I chose it largely because you just don’t see many of them. When you do it’s just so eye catching because it’s as attractive as it’s comparable BMW or Mercedes but you see those everywhere

I enjoyed your review man i own a 2021 arteon r gets compliments all the time.
