The Volkswagen Arteon was here for a while, but then it went away. Now it's back, with a Liftback five-door coupe-style hatch now joined by a Shooting Brake wagon for the first time. It's like a sexy, stylish alternative to a VW Passat.
It's the VW brand’s flagship passenger vehicle. Put it this way, if VW’s tag line is premium for the people, then this is the most premium. And the people? Well, they’re the ones who might normally be shopping for a BMW, Mercedes or Audi.
The name, by the way, comes from the the Latin word for art, and it’s a nod to the design focus that’s been employed here. This is a stylish and stylised mobility machine, but can it mix it with the premium-brand big boys?
Watch out detailed review of the VW Arteon 2022 range to find out.

One of the most beautiful and timelessly styled cars on the road. Good to see they are using USB C as well. Might get one of these before there are no sedans around at all.

Driven R Line and I find the suspension is superb. Very comfortable. I dunno what's he talking. Even at Sports mode, ride is not so busy. Extreme Comfort it does feel plush. Not that good but definitely on par with W206 C Class and more comfortable than 3 series. Anyway the "firm" ride quality or Arteon, no car can escape it when they're riding on 20" rims, insane low profile tyres. 19" is the best for compromise of comfort and sports. 18" would be the best for comfort

The car is stunning, I had the old shape but got rid of it when covid meant it was on the drive for months on end. I’ve now got another R-Line on order in Oryx White… I won’t be seeing it for at least 8 months due to chip shortages though! (UK that is)

This year the US is getting a 300 HP / 295 tq tune...I'm trying to come up with a performance numbers guess. Absorbing everything I have at my disposal, lol, I am predicting a 5.4 0-60, 13.9 1/4 mile, 102 trap for the AWD. I think we can thank the 7spd dsg for 2/3 tenths of the performance numbers.

"You sink into the seats, almost like bucket seats". Ah.. They are bucket seats 😅😅. The shooting brake design looks more interesting, but I wish VW had just called it simply a wagon or estate. A shooting brake body style is a two door wagon, not a four door.

These are the first of VW's PPF equipped cars into Aust. No Euro 5 engines are now available for the Arteon for the Aust market . Big backflip by VW regarding the suitability of their PPF's on Australia's higher sulfur 95/98! Golf , Tiguan, Passat etc will now all follow within the next 12-18 months. Filter replacements could cost up to $8k including labour depending on model , if in a worst case scenario that you do something to destroy the filter which won't be covered under warranty. And yes VW like all other brands here may void warranty as well .Should you accidentally fill with E10 or 91 it will actually damage the filter after just 1 tank.

Actually the biggest depreciating cars will be current electric cars. New electric cars will be better in every way than current generation electric cars and given that they already are $20-30k more expensive it stands to reason their resale value fall the most.

@@henrylawson430 You are spot on, right now the earlier adaptors are over paying while better tech catches up. Personally I think some if not most ICE cars in the future will hold their value fairly well once it’s not an option anymore, maybe not for let’s say a small family SUV or small run about but certainly for enthusiast aimed vehicles, touring & off-road models.
