“A wonderful long-distance travelling companion” | Volkswagen Newsroom

Coinciding with the world premiere there is a lot of praise for the new Arteon and the new Arteon Shooting Brake. Those fans include Jürgen Stackmann, Member of the Board of Management of the Volkswagen brand responsible for Sales, and Klaus Zyciora, Head of Volkswagen Group Design. With the Fastback and Shooting Brake there will be two versions of the Arteon in future. The entire series will receive a comprehensive technical update.

With the Fastback and Shooting Brake there will be two versions of the Arteon.* in the future

Stackmann is particularly looking forward to the top model in the range, the Arteon R, which is also available as a Fastback and Shooting Brake. He praises the four-wheel drive, the variable power distribution and the sporty performance. With its spaciousness, the car is “always a wonderful long-distance travelling companion,” he says.

“The Arteon and the Arteon Shooting Brake unite seemingly irreconcilable opposites. Functionality, practicality and ultimate elegance,” says Zyciora. It is precisely this symbiosis that is the aim of the design. “And for Volkswagen a breakthrough into a new segment.”

Linda Lohnstein works in quality assurance at the Emden plant – and is also looking forward to the new models. “The new Arteon has a completely unique and exclusive interior with many possibilities for individualization. A special highlight is the ambient lighting, which is equipped with new lighting technology,” says Lohnstein.

Also new in the interior are the wireless integration of apps via “App-Connect Wireless” for “Apple CarPlay” and “Android Auto” (Google) as well as a 700-watt high-end sound system from the audio specialist harman/kardon, which was specially tailored to the Arteon and Arteon Shooting Brake (both optional). The usability of the car is made easier by touch sliders for the automatic air conditioning and a new multifunction steering wheel with touch surfaces.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data are determined in accordance with the measurement procedures prescribed by law. 1 January 2022, the WLTP test cycle completely replaced the NEDC test cycle and therefore no NEDC values are available for new type approved vehicles after that date.

This information does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO₂ emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Due to more realistic testing conditions, fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions measured according to WLTP will in many cases be higher than the values measured according to NEDC. As a result, the taxation of vehicles may change accordingly as of 1 September 2018. For further information on the differences between WLTP and NEDC, please visit www.volkswagen.de/wltp.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO₂ emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO₂ emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
