The Arteon is one of the most striking cars from the German automaker. It has LED headlights have been built deep into the grille to give the Arteon a sporty look. It has 17" alloy wheels, LED headlights, tail lights, and chrome strips. It most certainly comes with all the bells and whistles one would expect from a luxury vehicle.

However, the Arteon is a lot more than that.

Volkswagen's Martin Hube says the main thing the automaker wanted to do was to call attention to the vehicle's driving dynamics. It's equipped with all-wheel drive and has a powerful 205kW 2.0-litre turbo engine.

It gives the vehicle a lot of traction and good response, making the driving dynamics exceptional.
