The Volkswagen Arteon is a stylish fastback flagship, produced from 2017 to 2024 and taking the place of the Passat in the premium class. We look at the engines, trims, and what to check before buying a used Arteon.
The Arteon is based on the MQB platform, like the Passat, but features a lower liftback body with a tailgate and frameless side windows. The interior is spacious, and the rear seat benefits from ample legroom thanks to the long wheelbase.
The 2020 model was refreshed, and the Shooting Brake estate version was introduced. The Arteon is praised for its looks, comfort, and large boot, making it a popular alternative to more premium brands.
Cars built before 2020 belong to the first generation. They are cheaper but come with older infotainment and an earlier generation of driver assistance systems.
The Arteon, refreshed after 2020, received a new front end, more modern infotainment, updated driver assistance systems, a plug-in hybrid (eHybrid), and the particularly powerful Arteon R. If you're after the most up-to-date variant, opt for these versions.
Petrol engines include the 1.5 TSI (post-2020), various 2.0 TSI units (around 190–280 hp), and the Arteon R with a 2.0 TSI producing around 320 hp. Diesels feature the 2.0 TDI, with power ranging from 150 to around 200 hp. The eHybrid version combines a 1.4 TSI engine with an electric motor.
Gearbox — DSG 7-speed dual-clutch automatic. More powerful versions often come with 4Motion all-wheel drive.
The DSG gearbox should operate smoothly, without judders or hesitation when pulling away. Ask about oil changes according to the manufacturer's schedule.
For diesel versions, check the DPF and AdBlue system, especially if the car has mostly been driven in the city. If there's an adaptive suspension DCC, test all its modes.
Inspect the body for repainted parts, check the suspension and brakes. For eHybrid versions, assess the battery condition and charging function.
Names and equipment vary by market and year; we list the most common trims found in Europe.
