Here's A Closer Look At The VW Arteon, Wolfsburg's Swanky New Saloon
This handsomely chiseled face belongs to the Arteon, VW’s posho saloon that’ll soon be sitting just above the Passat.
We won’t be seeing it in full until the Geneva Motor Show in a few weeks, but VW has given us a cheeky look at both the front and the rear with these teaser images.
It’ll push VW into premium territory, with the Arteon competing with the likes of Mercedes and BMW, and to an extent sister brand Audi. We know it’ll be based on VW Group’s MQB architecture, and in its most powerful form it’ll pack a 276bhp version of the EA888 four-cylinder turbo petrol engine.
Want to know more? You’ll have to wait until the car’s official reveal in Geneva on 7 March.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Looks like a Gle Coupe
CC replacement or Phaeton replacement?
I guess CC
That moment when your company is called people’s car, and yet they make overpriced saloons
Yeah, but it was just to hard to abbreviate ‘The people who are either hipsters or retirees and want a German car but can’t afford a BMW or Audi’s Car. Especially not in German.
The car is in VW’s words is aimed at the person who has retired and his children no longer live at home.
VW’s goal is to make a car for ever stage for someone’s life.
Nice c63 AMG
More like C200d
VW: ‘Hey mercedes, can I copy your homework?’
Mercedes: ‘Yeah just don’t make it obvious’
So is this like a new passat cc or phaeton?
Looks like it has lost the CC’s coupe line
Arteon is such a cool name, I’d buy it just for that
