A Brief Look at the 2018 Volkswagen Arteon

The Volkswagen Arteon is a new flagship passenger car designed for the executive market. The aim is to get drivers out of cars such as BMW’s 4 series, C-Class Mercedes and A5 Sportbacks. This segment has a decent amount of competition here in Australia so what can the Arteon bring to the market? Here is a brief review of the VW Arteon for sale for those looking to make a change.

A New Executive Saloon

When they consider the VW Arteon for sale, dealers and more importantly customers may remember the VW Phaeton. The Phaeton was never available here in Australia, but petrolheads may remember its reputation as an over engineered, luxury saloon. This car was very loosely based on the Bentley, but it was a sale flop in the US market, and it altered the thinking at Volkswagen. It was hoped that the Phaeton would transform the VW brand into that of a luxury car maker. Obviously, the philosophy at VW has changed in the intervening years with the focus firmly placed on offering affordable quality. As such VW have less lofty ambitions for their new Arteon lineup as a purely executive car offering and not a direction for the entire company. This should allow the VW Arteon to find its feet in a competitive market and create a base of loyal drivers.

Enter the VW Arteon

The exterior is a simply stunning piece of design work building on some of the excellent touches seen on the recent Passat releases. However, where the Passat is conservative, the Arteon is far more daring with a low ventilated intake and grille set with LED headlights up front. There is a clamshell bonnet that is securely clamped over the chiselled wheel arches and headlights. The car sits on 20" alloy wheels (part of an option pack) and has a roofline that sweeps down to an extended rear overhang. The roofline is lower than the Passat, but every other dimension is larger. This gives the Arteon a sportier look and a more executive scale for extended trips.
