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.

Are they going to release one in a Senna trim?
Someone pls tell me how to pronounce Arteon.
Looks like a Gle Coupe
CC replacement or Phaeton replacement?
That moment when your company is called people’s car, and yet they make overpriced saloons
Nice c63 AMG
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
