Volkswagen Arteon

The Volkswagen Arteon is a four door fastback based on the Volkswagen Group MQB platform.[1] The Arteon was unveiled on 6 March 2017, at the Geneva Motor Show, and at the Chicago Auto Show for the market in North America.[2][3] The Arteon is a direct successor to the CC. Volkswagen claims that the Arteon will be more upmarket than the previous model.[4][5]

Interior

The Arteon will be equipped with a new digital cockpit, which replaces the main instrument panel with a configurable display, on SEL and Executive trims.[13]

Safety

The system is called Emergency Assist 2.0, and it takes advantage of four existing Volkswagen safety programs: Adaptive Cruise Control, Side Assist, Lane Assist and Park Assist. The Arteon will notice if a driver has not touched the accelerator, brakes or steering wheel for a certain length of time, and it will attempt to alert the person with sounds, visual cues and even a physical brake tap.

If that does not work, Emergency Assist 2.0 takes over: the car's hazard lights switch on and it steers itself to a safe nearside lane. The system uses Lane Assist to recognize lines on the road and Park Assist to actually steer the car. Radar detection via Adaptive Cruise Control and Side Assist helps ensure the Arteon will not hit any other vehicles.[14]

Production

China commenced production on the Arteon under the CC name starting in August 2018, for the model year of 2019.

It will be available in three trims — SE, SEL, and Premium — with one engine: all Arteons of 2019 will have Volkswagen's workhorse 2.0 litre turbo four, tuned to produce 268 hp and 258 lb ft of torque. Power is managed by an eight speed automatic transmission, with the choice of front or all wheel drive.[16]

Volkswagen delayed the launch in the United States of its flagship Arteon sedan to 2019, due to unspecified roadblocks with the car's emissions testing. Arteons started arriving at dealerships in America in April 2019.
