The Volkswagen Arteon is the car which the German brand hopes will lift it into the premium segment. The swoopy styling will set the standard for future VWs, but under the skin it’s all familiar – the platform is shared with the Passat. So does the stylish frock make the Arteon worth considering over an Audi A5 Sportback or a BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe? Find out in my detailed review, where I comment on its quality, take a look at its tech, and work out if it feels expensive enough from behind the wheel.

3:25 let me put that vibrator
i love that volkswagen talisman new style, oops i mean arteon
I will choose KIA Stinger GT4 over this if I really not care about badge.
why would vw want to compete with audi when it owns audi
I’m gonna wait 7 years and buy it for 10k
Dis dude low key jacked
the presenter isn’t fair to the car. It’s a fucking luxury car man, maybe not for you, but for 90% of the europeans
Matt riding bicycles i see, what we stacking? Test E and Deca?
Amazing car! I got 2004. Golf 5 2.0 TDI lol, would love to drive this one!
i don’t really like the look… (interior the same) but if i had to choose between those then i would say yes.
VW owns Audi 😛
If u still wanna buy vw think twice Please Do NOT forget Dieselgate scandal thanks.
The back looks like a mercedes
very nice design. i prefer this to the new A8 style
I really hope we get these in the U.S. I love my Passat!
I swear you talked during that stupid “sound” test
Looks like an Audi
I would say that it is a combo of the Skoda superb and the Audi A5 sportback
I wonder if if this is meant to replace the VW CC in America?
Wow best looking VW I’ve ever seen by a long shot.
Absolutely love the system that the car uses when you’ve passed out, and it warns you, brakes, and pulls over… BUT having experienced a few pass outs “not proud of it” the normal human reaction to suddenly waking up a coming to realization that you’re still driving, one tends to wake up and grab or yank at the steering wheel as a “defensive response”. My question is, would the car counter react to my sudden response to yank the steering wheel and cause myself to crash?
Looks like a S class coupe from the back

Looks pretty cool, like it better then a supercar design.
My peugeot’s 0-60 Mph is 15 seconds ! so 5seconds on this car seems quite fast to me
*Okay, so I know it’s standard practice among motoring journo’s to write off pretty much all VW’s these days as boring or **_’samey’._** And I suppose it’s true to a certain degree. That said, if the formula works (and it clearly does), why change it in any drastic way? I happen to think the Arteon looks brilliant both inside and out. It’s full of (or at least available with) up to the minute tech and safety kit, some of which isn’t even available as as a cost option on some of its rivals. Setting aside any unwarranted badge snobbery (and I know quite a few multi-millionaires along with a few burger flippers who drive VW’s) my only real criticism of the Arteon is the pricing. As Mat said, at this price it really is putting itself among the Audi. BMW, Lexus and Volvo brands and I’m not sure it’ll feel comfortable there. If it were priced from around £27,000 up it would definitely be worth considering but at a starting point of around £38,000 I suspect VW has shot itself in the foot… again!*
I wish they sold this car in the U.S. 🙁
its just like a a8
Arteon looks cool. Design is amazing.
1:28 looks like a Mercedes in the rear end to me.
Def an eye catcher
They needed to use adaptive suspension or air suspension to upt this car in its market
Id take a VW over a BMW or Audi, as far as social perceptions go, you ain’t gaining points with anyone in the US with those. people would be more interested in an unusual VW than a supposedly classy and nicer brand.
