Refined Styling That Turns Heads

From the first glance, the Arteon's bold aesthetic sets it apart. The sloping roofline and wide stance evoke a coupe-like profile, yet it retains the practicality of a traditional sedan with a hatchback-style rear opening. The front fascia features a seamless LED light bar integrated into a chrome-accented grille, flanked by adaptive LED headlamps. The sculpted body lines and alloy wheel options further emphasize its upscale persona.

Luxury-Grade Interior with Room to Spare

Inside, the Arteon impresses with premium materials and thoughtful design. Higher trims offer Nappa leather upholstery, ventilated seats, and ambient interior lighting that rivals luxury brands. Compared to its spiritual predecessor, the Volkswagen CC, the Arteon adds a 5-inch increase in wheelbase, providing generous rear-seat legroom and over 27 cubic feet of cargo space—expandable to more than 55 cubic feet with the rear seats

How the Arteon Stacks Up Against Competitors

While the Kia Stinger excels in rear-wheel-drive dynamics and the Toyota Avalon prioritizes plush comfort, the Volkswagen Arteon offers the best of both worlds. It delivers engaging performance while maintaining a sophisticated, executive-level cabin. The Arteon's hatchback configuration also gives it a clear advantage in cargo versatility over traditional sedans.
