The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon Shows You How Much Sedans Have Changed

Follow Redline on social channels:

As crossovers continue to be the vehicle of choice for American families, it has forced automakers to rethink what sedans are supposed to be. The newest vehicle to enter this segment is the #VolkswagenArteon. This sleek new hatchback has the same profile as an Audi A5 Sportback but is closer in size to the far more expensive Audi A7. The #Arteon is the new flagship of the #Volkswagen lineup and it also happens to offer a huge backseat and more trunk space than some small SUV's. We'd like to see #VW offer an #ArteonR with 6-cylinders under the hood boosted by a turbo but this is one of the slickest looking new sedans you can buy today.

Tired of all the crossover news?? We're okay with how they've forced automakers to rethink sedans in the process...The Arteon is one of the newest "hatchback" sedans to come to market like the Kia Stinger and Buick Regal Sportback. If only the Nissan Maxima and Toyota Avalon would also go this route... like this comment if you agree with us! ;)

Sedans are becoming more of emotional purchases like coupes used to be. This is one of the best looking sedans out there.

I like the interior. It’s clean and not over designed like a lot of the tacky looking cheap competition.

VAG doesn't want too many Audi shoppers downgrading to the Arteon. That's probably why it doesn't get a load of horsepower.

Like the video with the driving experience at night - always like to see the interiors at night with these new cars. Great job!

To everyone reading this have a wonderful day

Sofyan Bey's reviews are simply outstanding. They are so professional and so informative. Not only is he very well informed about the car he is reviewing, he also knows how that car stacks up against the competition. Nice work, sir!

Sorry I don't know this reviewer's name but he is one of the very best communicators I've ever seen. He has it all: depth and precision based on broad experience and an ability to smoothly and effortlessly call to mind the most concise and elegant way to describe attributes and features. Kudos whoever you are.

there are people(bloggers) who are easy to watch, and this guy is one of them. He is always to the point with every car he reviews and entertaining at the same time

"full roof" sunroof? This is a hatchback. The hatchback hinge essentially is just to the rear of the back of the sunroof. The roof couldn't have been "bigger".... Geez!

They need to make an R-teon with 300+HP and DSG

VW Salesman: You mentioned engine noise is a bit louder than you would like on the hwy. When I was watching the video you had the vehicle in sport mode continuously preventing the vehicle from entering a lower RPM range. As instructed by VW. Sport mode us to be used temporarily to have spirited moments of driving and provide additional passing capabilities. Sport mode should NOT be the sole mode of your commute. Love you content btw!

You are the only youtube reviewer that I know who prefers electronic style gear selector than traditional mechanical one.

Ok two things; 1 Yall always do the best shots of the indicators, 2 Not for or against VW but that front end is absolutely gorgeous.

[PeteEbenezerrNewman]

VW should give the Arteon a V6 or 5 cylinder engine.
I love the design. Great review

[shaesham]

I did NOT expect the hatch. Nice reveal.

[patrickheide]

Comparing to Audi is so much better pricing? My Arteon SE AwD came in under $34k

So it's okay for VW to spell out the model on the center tail but for Hyundai it isn't?
