2018 Volkswagen Arteon - Interior and Exterior Design.
1. Arteon is a five-door gran turismo from Volkswagen which is positioned above the globally successful Passat
2. Five-seat Arteon combines the design elements of a sports car with the elegance and space of a fastback
3. Standard LED headlights merge with the radiator grille and bonnet to form a completely new front end

5. Opening up behind the rear hatch is a flexible luggage compartment volume of 563 to 1,557 litres
6. Six turbocharged engines (TSI und TDI) of the Arteon offer a power output range from *110 kW/150 PS to 1206 kW/280 PS
7. Top TSI and TDI engines come with a dual clutch gearbox (DSG) and all-wheel drive (4MOTION) as standard
8. Optional digital instruments (Active Info Display) and 9.2-inch infotainment system with gesture control (Discover Pro)
9. New assistance systems look forward and react to speed limits, bends and round-abouts
10. "Elegance" and "R-Line" equipment lines offer extensive opportunities for personalisation
The six engines deliver between *150 and 1280 PS. The new Arteon is launching with a range of six turbocharged direct fuel injection engines. All of the engines have four cylinders. The first two power levels of the petrol (TSI) and diesel (TDI) engines are identical at *110 kW / 150 PS and *140 kW / 190 PS. The most powerful TSI delivers 1206 kW / 280 PS, while the most powerful TDI produces 2176 kW / 240 PS. The base petrol engine, the *1.5 TSI Evo, is a new design and, thanks to such features as Active Cylinder Management (ACT), it is exceptionally efficient.

For the TSI engines, DSG is standard for the *140 kW engine and above. In the case of the TDI, DSG is fitted as standard in the 2176 kW version.

Perfect proportions. The new Arteon is based on the Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB). Transverse stands here for engines that are transversely mounted in the front. This configuration naturally creates space. A long wheelbase of 2,841 mm spans the two axes. Accordingly, the body overhangs of the 4,862 mm long fastback model are short and concise. The Arteon is 1,871 mm wide and 1,427 mm tall. These dimensional relationships deliver truly dynamic proportions – a visual starting point for Volkswagen designers.
