Hi, I’m Sharnelle from Dilawri Group of Companies, Canada's largest automotive group.
Today we are very excited to show you the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon.
This is Volkswagen's largest sedan and it's the successor to the CC.
Here in Canada we get one trim but there are two additional packages that we'll be walking
you through in this video today: the R-Line package and the Driver Assistance package.
Keep watching to learn more about this upscale sedan from Volkswagen and be sure to give
us a thumbs up and to subscribe to see more videos like this from Dilawri.
At first glance, many would be surprised to find out that this is actually designed by Volkswagen.
It has a much more premium look to it.
It has a beautiful sportback design that gives it much more of a sportier look, especially
with such sharp body lines.
Up front is a grille that simultaneously conveys a sense a luxury and aggressiveness at the
same time.
This is flanked by adaptive LED headlights with cornering lights.
The R-Line package adds different front and rear bumpers.
The Arteon comes standard with 18" wheels but these have the upgraded R-Line 20" Rosario
wheels.
This also has heated, auto-dimming side mirrors with a tilt-down function for better visibility
when reversing.
The Arteon has a power liftgate which you can activate with the kick of your foot.
It opens up to 770L of cargo space or 1,557L with the rear seats folded.
You can throw so much in the back of the Arteon like bicycles, golf bags, really whatever
you need to and you don't ever have to worry about whether or not there's enough space
back here because without a doubt, there absolutely is.
This makes this car so ideal for someone who's looking for something sporty and classy but
still functional at the same time.
Under the hood is a 2.0L turbocharged inline-four sending power to all four wheels via an 8-speed
automatic transmission.
This makes 268 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque.
For fuel consumption, the Arteon gets 12.0L/100KM city, 8.6L/100KM highway, and 10.4L/100KM
combined.
Let's move on to the interior.
The Arteon does have keyless entry which is a great feature to have for convenience so
you’re not constantly fumbling around for keys.
On the inside is a Titan Black interior with the Silver Rise trim.
Volkswagen also offers two other options for seats: brown and a cream coloured leather.
The R-Line package adds R-Line door sills, a black headliner, that Silver Rise trim,
as well as an R-Line steering wheel.
Both front sport seats are 8-way power adjustable, heated and cooled.
The driver's seat has a massage function which is amazing after a long day at work and the
passenger's seat has four-way lumbar support.
The rear seats are heated for the added comfort of your passengers as well.
The Arteon also has ambient lighting and you can choose from a variety of colours depending
on your mood.
Behind the steering wheel is Volkswagen's Digital Cockpit.
I'm a big fan of digital or virtual cockpits because they offer so many more features than
a traditional one.
For example, here I can view Gear and Speed, Economy and Range, Navigation, and Driver
Assistance systems.
I can also toggle between the map view, media, and so much more.
Sometimes you really have to dig deep into the infotainment system of a car to find this
information but with the digital cockpit it’s right there.
Over in the centre console is an 8" infotainment system that supports Android Auto, Apple CarPlay,
MirrorLink, and Bluetooth, complimented with an 11-speaker Dynaudio audio system.
This also has a voice-activated navigation system so you can focus on the road.
Drive modes include: Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport (my favourite), and Custom.
The Arteon is a very fun car to drive.
It feels fast because of all the torque that it has and not once did I ever feel like it
was lagging behind.
It handles quite well despite being a relatively longer vehicle.
It’s also worth noting that the steering is light compared to other similar cars within
the category making it easy to drive.
The Arteon we have today has the Driver Assistance package which adds area view, lane assist,
and park assist.
Other safety or driver convenience features include park distance control, pedestrian
and cyclist detection with full auto brake, and a standard backup camera.
If you're looking for something that's sleek and polished, but you also need something
with the space of an SUV, the Arteon would be a great choice for you because it checks
all those boxes.
It's stylish, comfortable yet sporty when it needs to be, and so roomy.
We are a big fan.
