The Volkswagen Arteon is back on our shores with a minor facelift, and there’s nothing to stop it from being a versatile executive sedan for all lifestyles

SINGAPORE

With Volkswagen’s facelifted and stylish Arteon making a return to our shores, the executive sedan department now sees a red hot competitor. Stylish as it is though, the Arteon proves it’s capable of versatility whether you’re a high-flying executive, a social butterfly, or just always on-the-go. Here’s five faces of the Volkswagen Arteon, suitable for any driver, no matter your lifestyle.

The high-flying executive

For the driver who’s always scuttling from business meetings to luncheons with other high-flying executives, the Arteon’s new powertrain gets you where you need to be, when you need to be, all while in comfort. 

The biggest change in the Arteon now lies in its new powertrain. The 2.0-litre engine now produces 190hp and 320Nm of torque, and is helped along by the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission the Arteon, making for a spritely and enjoyable driving experience.

The always on-the-go

If you’re the driver who’s always busy running errands – whether for family, friends, or work, the Arteon makes your life easier with its ‘easy open’ boot. 

With the wave of a foot under the rear bumper, the electronically-operated tailgate will swing open to accommodate the driver who always has their hands full. 

And if you tend to go the distance like Hercules, the cabin in the Arteon makes for plush long-distance cruising.

The rear can fit three people comfortably, and comes equipped with controls for air-conditioning. If you’re doing the driving, the driver’s seat also comes equipped with a massage function as well to quell the woes of long-distance cruising.

The outdoor lover

The Arteon may be a five-door executive sedan but that doesn’t stop it from being a fitting ride for the driver who loves the pursuit of the great outdoors. The rear opens in the liftback style giving you a generous amount of space, more than you’d generally find in executive sedans. 

Whether it’s a folding bike, or supplies for a tailgate cookout, the Arteon has plenty of space for your travels, with the rear seats knocking down for even more.

The stylish social butterfly 

You’re guaranteed to be the talk of the town when you pull up at the function in the Arteon. As it is the Arteon’s contours and chrome window trimmings make for a supremely stylish ride, but in the top of the range R-Line variant you get a sleek lightstrip on the exterior. 

And when you’re packing your friends in for the afterparty they’re sure to be dazzled by the ambient lights on the interior with 30 settings to pick from. 

You’ll be getting around in style too with a leather-wrapped steering wheel with capacitive touch and gear shift paddles.

The plugged-in and connected

Finally, if you’re anything like our dear writer who needs to be listening to their favourite tunes at all times when they’re behind the wheel, the Arteon’s got you covered. With Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, you’ll be able to jam out to the latest Taylor Swift album or catch up on the latest episode of your favourite podcast on the eight speakers in the Arteon.
