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.

Arteon sounds like a Pokemon’s name..
The second image looks like the sort of car Rockstar would release in a GTA DLC
With a blue motion 4matic option
I suspect this might end up using the RS7’s platform. Thoughts?

There’s a lot of AMG GT here
Theres a lot of vw in the current merc lineup most likely due to the s & c class designer being ex vw
more like C63 Coupe
276BHP… That’s a very JDM feature….
This would be so much cooler if it was longitudinal…
It has strong hints of the Renault Talisman to me
Is it RWD?
Of course not. It’s a VW!
