This is what the Passat should have evolved to be.

The Arteon is gorgeous. I have one myself. Such a rare and unique car. They have great deals on them. Love the power and ride.

A reviewer that actually turns on the radio? Yeah, you got it. You earned my sub, bud.

My 2019 Arteon SEL Premium R-Line sticker was $48,300. I got it for $39,500 or ~18% off sticker. Love this car!

One I’ve not heard of - very impressive, beautifully styled; wonderfully equipped - love that front running light bar built into the grill. Wow. VW has come a million miles from the days of the old Bug. Nice review, guys - learned something!

You guys are reviewing exactly what I have been looking at the last few days haha, thanks for this!

It is pleasure to join you guys in this amazing review🤩 I don't have words to describe you guys..... expendable 🤗🎊

One hundred percent my fav. I have a 2010 Jetta limited I love and will get one of these. Drove just like my buddies A7 he’s had since new first year. Love these

Love it 👌.. thank u guys

I like that you did a sound test. So many reviewers don't do that

Thank you for this!

Howdy, absolutely amazing review as always y’all! I love the Arteon, though I definitely think it looks better in yellow!😸😻😸

Just bought the awd version, love this car. Can't wait to drive it everyday. Lots of trunk space, I'm tall and is very comfortable. Interior and exterior is awesome a lot of people stop to look, not to many sold in Canada, anyway so far I recommend this beautiful car 😀

Absolutely Beautiful !

Never heard of this model before. It sure is a nice sedan, even though I've never cared for VW's. The pricing isn't crazy outrageous either, nice review guys 👍😀

First time on the channel. Really enjoyed how the video showed the car's exterior features and design. You just earned a new Subscriber 👍

I’m very glad to see VW is not as angry at us as they were over the diesel gate scandal (I never blamed them for it). I say this because they’re letting us have nice cars again. Mercedes seems to Have lost their way. They seem to introduce a new model every other day to cover some part of the market that they’re not already covering. BMW seems to have lost its soul, focusing on how polarizing the grill can be every time they redesign. VW in the past has been the brand I hated the most, due to its reliability. I now see VW as genuinely trying to earn and keep business, the effort is showing, and I like the directions they are taking. The Arteon is taking what started as the CC to a whole new level. Thanks for another great review.

Wow! I love the Arteon. The arteon is amazing for a sedan. Has a lot of features too. Have a great weekend guys!

I just got this over the weekend as a lease and I love it. It is a very unique car very happy with it and got it at an excellent deal which I couldn’t refuse. Great review!

unlike most reviewers, this gentleman focuses more on showing the car rather than himself, great review.

This is a really great car. Love it so much

Great review and I love the look of this car

The Arteon looks great the design is beautiful Drew and ur glasses?

The most beautiful Volkswagen ever made. Wish they had the dynamic turning signals like the European version.

Man thanks for the video I think that's going to be my first car

Im buying this!!! After my A3 lease is up it has a ton of features looks amazing for an amazing PRICE!!!

Very nice ride!!! Good Review!!

I love the 2021 arteon it’s very nice! It does look like a Audi! I love it!

I would take that over the BMW 3-series anytime. That is really good looking V-dub.

So I just bought the 2022 arteon. Traded in my A8L 2015. The arteon has so many audi features. I had the loaner A5 for a couple of weeks while the A8 was in the shop and I prefer the arteon over the A5, it has more features and feels less like a tin can than the 2022 A5’s do. The A 5 for some reason rattles and the doors don’t sound solid. The Arteon is tight.

My dream car for sure.

A hidden gem a truly outstanding value for money car and future classic - By the way VW Group own Audi. In Europe we say an Audi is a VW in frilly knickers.

Great car - thanks for your detailed review.

That's looks so good it's now my favorite models

Nice drive by scenes. Include them more in your videos

As much as I like the regular Arteon's looks, it's the 2021 Arteon R which gets my vote. Unfortunately that version won't be coming over to the States...At least not yet. Hopefully enough folks will settle for the lesser iteration and entice VWG mgmt with visions of sugar plums and greater profits with the sexier R and bring that hottie here! Show of hands!✋

The arteon is nice. I love the white exterior color

Want. Currently have a 2013 CC and love it. Would love to have an Arteon but am also looking at pre-owned Audi A5 Sportback. Tough decision but I think the Arteon is prettier.

Thank you. Good night Kentucky.

New subscriber from Lexington KY

Thank you for translating it into Arabic. You have a new follow-up on the Qana from the Saudi Arabian kingdom,🇸🇦😍

I am digging this whip. I will have to take one out for a test drive as I would be trading in my Golf R. I have a thing for hatchbacks and sportbacks. I am also interested in the Stinger GT.

I hope you guys are able to test the new power train on the arteon!

Fun fact: the US spec Arteon doesn’t get two little things that are avaliable on the EU spec. 1) Cooler rear taillights 2) Upgraded 9.2 inch infotainment sistem Also the US doesn’t get the R and shooting break versions and also the plug in hybrid isn’t avaliable.

Very nice car well designed

You guys forgot to show the cool ambient lights on this new Arteon besides are headlights IQ lights? I have 2019 Audi A4 should I trade it?

Notification squad, where y’all at?

Really like this car as tested here. It’s definitely on my list as is a Volvo S90 for slightly more.

I just drive one today. I’m sold. Getting mine this next month!!

i dont like that they took off the analog clock and continuous vent layout that gave a signature VW vibe. same with the cockpit

Great looking VW. Wonder if they're going to bring the shooting break to the US.

A couple of observations... As with many vehicles the differences in trim levels can be confusing. In the case of the Arteon there are 3 trims for 2021. The base SE model has an MSRP under $37K but it lacks a significant number of features and options (including AWD) that are available on the top two trims, the SEL R-Line and the SEL Premium R-Line. The top two trims have MSRPs of $41.6K and $47.0K respectively. But that's misleading since the standard AWD on the top Premium trim is optional on the mid level SEL R-Line trim at a price for $1800 MSRP. With that in mind, the difference between the top trims amounts to $3600 in MSRP. For that premium the Premium trim comes with the following features that aren't offered on the mid-level non-premium SEL R-Line. () 20" wheels vs 19". () Premium Harman Kardon sound system with more speakers. () Ventilated front seats () Massage featured driver seat () Powered rear hatch () A 360 degree camera view Whether those differences are worth opting for the top trim is a personal decision, of course. But the price difference between the t top trims don't stop there. Here in the Seattle area the AWD SEL R-Line mid-trim is being offered by a number of dealers for less than $38,000, between $6K and $7K under MSRP. The SEL Premium R-Line, on the other hand is widely advertised (though not necessarily sold) at MSRP. (Although at least one dealer in the Seattle area is advertising the Premium model for $$2K. That makes the price difference between the two trims from $4000 to $9000. And at $38K including destination before tax, title, and license, the mid-level SEL R-Line is in the same price category as a fully loaded Accord Touring or a Camry V6, neither of which offers AWD or a number of other premium features compared to the Arteon. In short if one is willing to forego the items noted above, the mid-level SEL R-Line is a screaming bargain. I realize that reviewers are more or less forced to base their comments on price based purely on MSRP. But as this example suggests, the reliance can be seriously misleading in the real world.

Thanks for this video - an often overlooked vehicle. Though I do share the opinion that, fully loaded, you might as well go for the Audi.

I just got my first 2016 VW oct 2020, and tbh I really like VW, really good car and excellent on gas surprisingly! will plan on getting another one after i pay this one off most def!

Its such a gorgeous looking vehicle

The Arteon is only missing 2 things: 1. wood trim in the interior 2. *MORE POWER*

Nice car. But is it reliable and can last for 100k miles without issues ?

Nice one guy's same the Arteon is not sold at Australia any more.

First things first: Drew, just buy the RS6 thats on your screensaver already!🤣 Seriously, I love the Arteon. I really hate that VW doesn't have the best of marketing because car-shoppers(yes, they still exist!) may not be aware of the Arteon. We looked at it, the Kia Stinger and K5, and Accord Touring. We tested an SEL and i was very impressed. Unfortunately, I did not feel the car was worth the extra $13k over the Accord Touring we ended up with. Audi was clearly trying to keep the VW in its place with some of hard plastics in the interior and overall polish, BUT I still think the car was fine. It is just that a Kia Stinger GT2 can be had for the same money, and is a serious performance sedan. I think VW wants the Arteon to do well, but I think I price cut is the only way possible.

How did you guys get those rims? On the website, they only have black ones.

I have a 19 Jetta S... At first I wanted to get a GLI next, but now I'm not sure. I would honestly rather upgrade to this than a Passat! And if you wait until the next year, VW discounts the new previous year cars pretty well. There's a new 2020 for sale for around $26k on CarGurus

I love vw inshallah vw is coming to Pakistan soon.

Sheesh🔥

Muito obrigado..

Nice car

Gonna need them to up that screen game. 7.5-8 inches isn’t gonna cut it.

What a beautiful car soo good looking compared to most cars

Can someone explain what is the difference between arteon and arteon r line? I am soooo confused, i search arteon and all i see is arteon R LINE!!! Wtf!!?

I wish it didnt have that Gti/Gli interior, would be a winner for me

It would be LIT if North America introduce in Arteon R and its Shooting Brake model. By the way, if anyone could explain the logic why all North American VW and Audi delete that auto-hold button, so weird!

Traded my 2018 kia stinger for one great car the arteon is

Great review! My only real complaint with the Arteon is the fact there isn't an optional V6 for it. (It's predecessor, the CC, had one) :/

arteon 有新能源车型吗，

I wonder if there's a good chance you could haggle the price on this one. $50,000 is quite the price. The center console could use some modernization and a few more interior trim options should be added. Let's not forget some more power too. It's good as it is. Just a little more wouldn't hurt.

Which trim should I get?

My Arteon actually has black and dark brown interior, looks best imo

Ordered one, due end of March

The Arteon is a beautiful car, it’s definitely different from any car out there, but only wish is it needs to be different from the Golf, Atlas or the Tiguan and I don’t mean the body. I mean the cabin, it would have been nice if it had a bigger screen or the gear shifter was different.

It's a damn shame that they didn't bring the Version that is available I'm Europe with more power and sportier looks

VW isn't doing itself any favors by not advertising this model. Most people to this day still don't know it exists even though it has been around in the US market since 2019. As far as the pricing goes, you can get these cars for up to $10K off the MSRP at most dealerships if you finance it through VW credit.

Very attractive car but fear of low reliability and build quality are holding me back. The base model is probably the best value. At $50K I don't think this is better than TLX Advance, although I haven't driven either.

I love this car but the price point always concerned me. It's right under audi and over the Passat, both can be argued against the arteon. But ..it's..so... pretty 😫

And a 2021 urus Please

I wish the VW logo upfront would light up.

Me personally - just waiting for the 'R' version in the UK, may be my next car

Review the 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 👈🔥

I love Volkswagen a lot but I will never understand their affinity for glossy black plastics. It’s nice when it’s clean but it’s literally impossible to keep it clean. I’d honestly rather have matte black plastics so there’s less visible fingerprints and smudges.

It's a beautiful car but those pillar-less doors are a bad idea, window motors will be the first thing to breakdown with the constant up/down movements every single time you open/close the doors.

I test drove this Gorgeous car, loved the exterior and interior looks but its Achilles heel is its week engine :( I currently own 2013 VR6 Passat and can’t find a car that I enjoy driving as the VR6...waiting for the Type S!! Or a quicker Arteon

Not much rear headroom if you’re 5’10” and above. In fact, your head hits the roof if you’re that tall. The passat’s rear headroom is so much better.

Really torn between a new one of these or a low mileage Q5 premium plus....

The older brother reminds me of my college roommate he looks very familiar

And people say the new BMW grill is big. Wait til they see this one

I like this car but wish there weren't so many blank switches around the shifter. Volkswagen has had 3 years to address/fix this.

How is their long term reliability?

That's a hit car by Volkswagen 🤍

My Passat Gt all day everyday 💪

I have a 2019 Arteon and I always get asked “what is that?” Or “I didn’t know Volkswagen made cars like that” or just the usual compliment or head turn. Super satisfied with mine, I would say the headlights are the only complaint, they are TOO bright, like motherfuckers with LED lights will flash you because they think yours is too bright. Other than that, no complaints

Best looking car...no one will buy

The base model for 2020 had rear cross traffic alert.
