I have the same year, trim and color and absolutely love this car. I get so many people asking what car it is and can’t believe that it is a VW

I've had my Arteon since 2021. Absolutely love it. I've even got up to 34 MPG on the highway. It's comfortable, roomy, and reliable. No issues. Since VW is killing it in the states in 2024, I'm going to upgrade to a S5 or RS5 after I've had it for a few years. Your Arteon is just gorgeous with that red paint. I have the Metallic black color that doesn't show off those curves as well.

Thank you for the context you provided earlier in the video and the detail you give in your videos. Much appreciated😁

I'd narrowed my next car to the VW Arteon and Acura TLX.. You reviewed both Outstandingly! The 2022 VW Arteon is edging out the TLX after watching your videos. The back hatch and rear legroom are important factors for me. Thank you!

As a first owner of CC since Feb 2015, I will say that yes Arteon too is not meant for the typical American buyer. If you are not into Audi - BMW race because of money or don't want to be a servant of madly expensive brands, like creating your own standards and appreciate premium / stand out vehicles, Arteon is for you. I continue to love our CC 2.0T Exec, gives a smile of satisfaction and pride every day. One bonus with CC and Arteon, you will scarcely see another.

Loved your detailed review and all the details about the Arteon being European based. Thanks for sharing!

I pick up my custom built 2022 Arteon tomorrow… I had the 2017 model and got rid when it was parked on my drive endlessly due to C-19. So happy I’m getting it back, and a new edition that looks stunning. Your vid has got my hyped for sure! (UK owner) You can swipe the touch controls; when you get used to it, it’s actually pretty easy and intuitive to use. 👍

You did a lot of homework on this review! Great job!

Great video, salute from Brazil.

Excited to see the '22 getting the HP bump + DSG which... appx. 5 people will know about. Certainly a if you know, you know kind of vehicle. I'm an ex GTI owner, my father still has his CC marching towards 110K on the odom, I have so many different suggestions for him for when the time comes lol, but my heart comes back to this purely for how unique/rare it is.

I looked at this Arteon in this same color this past Tuesday and I may test drive it (previous owner was a car salesman at my local used car dealership and he upgraded to a Benz)

Good review!

Only quad exhaust vehicle in existence that not only tries to hide that fact, but make it appear to have the same fake exhaust outlets found on many VW/Audi products these days. Thats literally the only true misstep they made with the exterior though, very well executed.

I rented one in France a few months ago. It was an R-Spec 4Motion, fully loaded. When I returned to America I toyed with building an Arteon on the VW site and was shocked to see how de-contented the American top version is. Why does VW continue to dumb down our products? I mean is a HUD really to much for us to enjoy on this thing?

I'm buying a Arteon this weekend. I drove it yesterday and loved it. I drove a Honda Accord also. Just so much more premium. Even the wife agreed. She drives a Audi SQ5 and Arteon was Audi like.

Bro if you check out the European version of Arteon u will love it even more. I don't know why it's not in US

I keep checking but as of late January 2022, no current model year Arteons are on sale in the US. Only a few left over 2021's. Even their website will only shows 2021's.

I currently have a 2013 VW Passat TDI. Love the peppy 2.0 Turbo Diesel however I was in for basic service and saw a pearl white Arteon on the floor it captivated me lol. I want one now, how has yours held up or anyone else whom owns one? I know if I purchase the 23 model year it jas the Hp bump and DSG trans. I love the DSG in my Tdi 😊😊

I get what you’re saying. I myself miss the Touareg.

Beautiful car🤩 the shifter or stick thou🤢 it needs to to be replaced, i don't know if you could install one from an audi a7?

My 19 is awesome! APR stage 1 makes it even more amazing!! 🤩

I hear people complaining about the touch control climate, but every option is indented and you learn the correct ones and I never find a problem, I just slide it up or down. I think it might be a learning curve but a majority of people complaining don’t actually have the car/ drove it more than a week

I bought a 22 sel yesterday. Thanks.

I bought a 22 about a week ago. Looked at Audi q3, q5, and bmw x1. This was so much better. I did buy my first vw in 1978,,,a Dasher.

I just built a similarly optioned Arteon on a European configurator and the pricetag is 65 545 euros (73721 dollars). Mind you that it has a 2.0 TSI with 190 hp and not 268 like in the US and it has a 7 speed DSG and not the 8 speed tiptronic. As well as in the US you get more standard options.

I thought Volkswagen used to have a 60,000 or 62,000 mile warranty I thought. The third Gen EA888 is pretty sorted out besides the water pump still.

So having a 2010 Passat in the Us today is considered a rare jewel to an extent ?

I feel like vw/ audi is fading in the US. I skipped the B7 passat because it was made big and floaty to speak to Camry buyers. I went back to Audi only to find that my B6 passat had way more standard features than my C7 A6. My wifes Touareg is miles ahead if the Atlas in every way except MPG. This is very disappointing. Im currently considering a newer car and for the first time since I purchased my first GTI in 95 I may move away from VWAG. The issue I have doing that is what was mentioned in this video. The interior layout in Vw and Audi makes sense and repairs if needed are fairly easy to do.

My 190 HP Arteon is powerful enough for German Autobahns. Traffic permitting I can reach up to 145 mph but most of the time 90 mph to 120 mph is generally more realistic. Why you think you need more powerful versions in North America with its speed limits rather confounds me.

I thought the Golf 8 gti and R that we get over here were imported from Europe

I had an '86 GLI and loved it. Good to see the that ergonomics are still killer, as well as driving feel. With all those rear headrests I would certainly drive with the seat backs down. However I won't touch VW again due to their diesel fraud. It's rare to find a decent sedan these days so it's no wonder they'll sell a lot.

Would you prefer this car over a Toyota Avalon?

I traded in my 2017 Passat for a new Arteon in 2019, and the built quality is absolutely terrible compared to my Passat. I thought I was trading up, but my Passat was more solid.

"Atl least when the vehicle is brand new." That line is why this car doesn't resonate in the US sedan market. People want cars they can confidently take at least into tbe 150K range. Love this car but I'm afraid to buy it.

I love these cars but they are so pricey. Maybe if I could snag a well priced pre-owned one, I would pull the plug. PS

The CC was such a good looking car in its own right that it could dissuade a person who might otherwise have considered an A3 or A4 to pay an expensive sum (relatively speaking) for a VW. I just don't feel the same about the Arteon. The grille is honestly really ugly. Not crazy about the rims either. This vehicle has been on the market like two years now and I can't recall the last time I saw one on the road...
