Volkswagen Arteon

The Volkswagen Arteon is the top model in the well-known German manufacturer’s range, which came to the market in 2017 with the task of replacing the premium version of the Passat called the Passat CC. And because Volkswagen wanted to make the car even more premium, it moved away from the Passat altogether.

The five-door liftback, which came to the market in 2017, was complemented in 2020 by a more practical version of the estate called Shooting Brake.

Front-wheel drive versions are available, but depending on the engine selected, also in the 4×4 variant. Both petrol and diesel engines are on sale, as well as a plug-in hybrid variant. All engines are four-cylinder. You can order a car with a manual transmission, but also a seven-speed DSG or an eight-speed automatic.
