Alex C
Reviewed a 2023 Volkswagen Arteon on Jul 5, 2024
Been eyeing up the Arteon since the US model launch. Pre-2022 cars with the Aisin Warner AW8F45 dont live up to VW standards, but my 2023 SE R-Line with DSG has been a very smooth and fun large car. Price was always my issue with new Arteons but my used 2023 SE was well within my budget, gets 37 MPG highway with ease, has almost as much space as a Rav-4, has plenty of power, and has plenty of tech. Before buying I contacted VW corporate and learned that the car has a fully transferrable warranty, fully transferrable VW Care maintenance plan, 4 years of free telematics through the phone app, and can receive OTA software updates. Overall, I think the Arteon represents the best used value for a VW that you can get if you need something bigger than a GTI/Golf R but dont want to look like your dad in a Tiguan.

Why it stands out
The 2021 Volkswagen Arteon stands out as Volkswagen’s flagship sedan, and it leans into that role with a refined, upscale presentation. It arrives with upgraded styling, interior finishes, connectivity, and driver assistance, giving it the feel of a showcase for the brand’s capabilities and technologies. Its stylish design and premium interior materials help it project a near-luxury character, while the available equipment can push it even further in that direction.
Practicality is part of the appeal, too, since the Arteon offers plenty of cargo space. It also keeps pricing below $50,000, which may make its upscale look and feature set more approachable than some buyers expect. The tradeoff is that it is described as poor value for money and poor fuel economy, so shoppers drawn to its design and refinement may still want to weigh those drawbacks carefully.
