VW has no plans of doing away with Sedans. They said it in the key note that they are aware of the high volume sales of midsize sedans. Not everyone is like Ford which hasn't made the best decisions during their life time.

The Arteon (and Passat) are scheduled to be replaced by the ID-7. Ventilated and massaging front seats delete (w/$500 cash back) due to COVID chip shortage. The top speed is governed. But if you think the Arteon's interior is spartan, go sit in an equally priced Audi A5 and see what you get. Then do the same with a BMW 5 Series if you can find one that basic. Almost everything you get on the R-Line is standard that you pay extra for in the Audi. Is there any wonder its 20k more?

OK. I own a 2021 Arteon SEL R line in Kings Red. Beautiful car. That said, here's the experience. For over a year the car has had a glitz in the electronics. A warning flashes on the dash repeatedly saying "The travel assist feature is unavailable". It comes and goes intermittently. My car is not the only VW model cursed by this, just google it. The fix is to replace the steering wheel, which has been unavailable for 6 months. I cannot trade this car in for this reason as any other dealer will not take the car in with a problem. Now, my car was over $47K out the door, I have been quoted $25K for trade in by that same dealer, a depreciation of $22K in just 2 1/2 years. Stay away from them.

This is also the last year for the stinger, as well. I would consider it a competitor. It’s not as luxurious but more sporty and rwd or rear biased awd for similar price. And I think the stinger is better looking.

@MilesPerHr 7 ай бұрын

Stinger would be a competitor, yes. I usually just hand-pick a few alternatives, since an exhaustive competitive discussion could be the length of a full video by itself. The Stinger GT2 is definitely sportier. Looks are in the eye of the beholder, but I find the Arteon's exterior design to be more compelling. Ride compliance is better in the Arteon. Interior is equally disappointing for both cars. Tough call. Arteon is a better daily, but Stinger GT2 is more fun. The kid in me says Stinger

I’ve read several reviews of test drive’s on the 2024 Arteon SEL. This car is stunning. I’m not so sure it will be dropped for 2024. The electric vehicles for all manufacturers have stopped producing them. They’re not selling. Batteries are catching fire, hydrogen are exploding & others are electrocuting people. Reliability is an absolute disaster. The one Kia model cost $60K to replace the battery system. The maintenance costs are extremely expensive. The recent cold snap has caused most Electric Car owner’s with no car’s to drive due to dead batteries.

Volkswagen always wants to play in the Audi sandbox by offering an "affordable" premium sedan. But the features you give up to save a few bucks keep reminding you of their absence. VW doesn't hide cost-cutting with the flair of its competitors. I think that's what held the Arteon back saleswise. The Arteon has sports sedan looks outside that the rest of the car can't deliver - unless you stay at the mid-trim level where the features and price synch. That Arteon face looks like a Mopar Hellcat eater, but it ain't got the stomach to match. Good job, Miles!
