Volkswagen Arteon 2018 Review: A Stylish Four-Door Fastback
Introduction
Successor to the popular Volkswagen CC, the Arteon is a four-door fastback built on the brand’s MQB platform, designed to be an upmarket revision of the model it replaces. A stunning offering that is bound to turn heads, the Arteon competes against segment heavyweights such as the Audi A5 Sportback and the much-adored BMW 4-Series.

Performance
Under the hood, the Arteon houses a potent 2.0-liter turbocharged powerplant that produces 280 horsepower at 5,600 RPM and 320 Nm of torque from as low as 1,700 RPM. Directing its power through a 7-speed dual-clutch DSG gearbox, the Arteon accelerates to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds and boasts a top speed of 250 km/h. Is it virtually perfect? It sure seems so.
