Sadly, shortly after we filmed this vehicle, VW announced that 2024 will be the last year for the Arteon and its a full-size premium sedan that we're going to miss. If you're looking for a roomy Audi sedan with the acceleration of a Golf R at a discount price, this model should be at the top of your list!

I had a 14 CC with just over a 100k on the clock when it got totaled a month ago. The Arteon had been on my radar as a one day possible replacement but the early models with the 8 speed gearbox left a lot to be desired and I kind of wrote it off. But with needed to find a car I came across a 22 Arteon SEL R-Line non premium 4motion with the DSG with only 4500 miles.. and its an amazing car! SO I bought it and am very happy with it! I think the biggest drawback is the 50k-ish for " just a VW" is a tough sell on the new car market but slightly used they are a hell of a deal. I got mine for 37k. Also VW didn't do this car any favors only offering it at the beginning with the wrong gearbox/power output. It's like they finally got it right just into to only pull the plug on a great sporty/luxury/practical sedan option that allows you not to have to go the SUV route.

People are definitely open to spend over 50k on many mainstream vehicles. However no sedan is really very desirable at that price. If it was a truck or body on frame SUV it would sell. You get to little car for the money in people's eyes. Just makes no sense to them.
@billlump3792

@@baronvonjo1929 Absolutely. What I am saying is I think VW outpriced themselves with a "niche" car. most people will either buy a truck if they need one. Or they will over look this car because of the price point new at 50K and go with a cheaper comparable optioned SUV.....and the people who do actually want a sedan will either go with the more safer/cheaper mainstream choices ( Camrey or Accord) or the ones who are willing to pony up 50K+ for one will most likely be willing to pay a bit more for an Audi, BMW, or MB. I think if VW would have offered the SEL Rline 4 Montion in the low 40s sales would have been a lot better to no have to scuttle the ship.

I've been an Arteon fan since I saw the first one and I loved your review of the 2019. I'm guessing I'm the "target" demographic (over 50?). I've been looking at the SEL-Premium because my next vehicle WILL have ventilated seats - a must in CA central valley where summers are over 100 degrees most days in mid summer and I LOVE this color and the interior. Thanks for the updated review and I'm VERY sad to hear that this car is going away. I've looked at Toyotas (not the Crown) and they just feel plastic and cheap on the inside. I love the interior on this and being 6' 1" with three teenage sons my size I need the extra leg room in the back and the extended trunk space. I also love the seat memory because my wife is NOT 6'... or even close 🤣. Finally I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wish this came with the 3.0L 6-cyl from the Atlas. A little tuning that this thing would sell a ton, IMHO. As always, I love the reviews and keep them coming!

I've been debating for so long on trading in my CC R line for this. This is probably one of the most beautiful cars VW has ever made under the VW badge. I'll be happy to still be one of the few sedan enjoyers left in North America since everyone wants SUVs/Crossovers now. Will help with negotiating a decent price too since no one's buying sedans and these aren't selling well. People always say why not just get an A4/A5 when the Arteon is mentioned but don't realize that it's not even in the same size class, you get less power, and less options for the same price. You'd have to step it up to the S4/S5 for a proper comparison of luxury/performance options and still have a smaller car if size is one of the things in your search criteria. I'm still going to be filling the exact same Audi/VW windshield washer & coolant reservoirs and same Audi/VW approved oil w/o the Audi price premium for less. Audi interiors are hands down one of the best in the industry though.

I recently purchased a '23 SEL R-Line Premium in white. The biggest problem with it is these wheels and tire combo is absolutely garbage. In the Premium trim you are riding on rubber bands. I have hit 2 moderate potholes and have had to replace 3 tires. I have driven the same way for 16 years and only had a flat tire once. I've driven this car 5000 miles and replaced 3 tires. I will need to go down to 17's for winter for sure, but VW never should have made the 20 inch tires standard on any trim. They look sweet but the liability they bring is absolutely assinine. That said, it's a sick car, tech is great, rides like a champ, paid a lot less than sticker... Huge backseat legroom, storage with the hatchback.. checked all my boxes.

Even the 268 version you slap on a tune and you got 350 to 380 Hp. The engine is bonkers with tunes. The 8 speed trans is ok but you can tune that also and it shifts pretty quick. Mine makes 400Hp with down pipe and carbon do88 intake. Great entry level luxury car! Don't follow the crowd type car!

Evo4 engine is a grunter, it's amazing how VW Group has developed such incredible-performing 2.0T engines and dual clutch gearboxes. When the Arteon first came out, I knew the lack of DSG gearbox was gonna make it mediocre, so glad they made the right move with the switch to the complete Golf R drivetrain. I'd say it's a pretty damn good compromise for a car with some A5 Sportback niceness but a lot more space, although I get that there's simply way more folk who would spend $50K on an SUV or an Audi..... A5 Sportback: less power, but slightly more sophisticated suspension and AWD system, way cozier cabin space, probably slightly better tech and audio, styling may be preferable.

I just bought a Honda Fit. I love the way it handles and turns compared to my old 4runner. However I understand why people are leaving typical cars. The ground clearance! Unless you live in a area with pristine roads it's terrible. I live in the rolling hills of the Appalachian mts. So many roads incline and decline or when connecting to other roads. You will damage it one day you can see all the other sedans with damages. You can be careful but if you have a car for years and 10s of thousands of miles a mistake will happen. Also my insurance went up as statistically I am more likely to be in a accident in a small car than a 4runner. I believe it! Everyone been tailgating me. I hope the 34mpg balance it out

I’ve loved this car since the first one. Last year I went to get a used 2019 SEL R line it was cool but the numbers didn’t work out. It was too expensive, ended up with a 2022 Passat SE slightly used and and about $10,000 cheaper. After about 6 months the Passat needed some warranty work . VW gave me a Loaner Arteon SE R line. I have been driving it for 4 months. I love it and want to trade my car or buy it .

I really like this car. Compared to the Audi A5, I like the Audi's exterior a little bit better, but I actually like the interior better on the VW. I'm not a fan of the big tacked on top of the dash screen on the Audi. Also better performance than the A5 and a bigger back seat to boot. Plus, it's practically an exotic as there are so few out there!

The Golf R is genuinely fkn fast, but already close enough to the price range most people will pay for a VW. I was also not expecting how good the performance would be for a large liftback sedan thing, it is indeed too bad that sweet spot of a price range buys a lot more desirable stuff, but I still think the Arteon is a bangin' value. It's been a long time since VW dropped us anything besides the MK7 GTI with this much Audi niceness.

Looks like an Audi A7 with a much better looking front end. Shame it's not continuing. Unfortunately, I'm still not over my bad experience owning VW in the past, and other German manufacturers, so I won't be getting one.

I love the rarity of the car. I rarely see another one on the road, and that adds to a certain "cachet" value.

Hopefully the transmission programming in the Arteon doesn’t spoil the party.

One thing I notice that's different here compared to the 2022-2023 Arteon US version is the ones I'm seeing online do not have temp adjusters for the rear seats nor the gloss vent surround below the rear bench vents. This applies to the R-Line variants too.
