Interior

The Volkswagen Arteon is a four door fastback based on the Volkswagen Group MQB platform.[1]

Background

The Arteon is a direct successor to the CC. Volkswagen claims that compared to the previous model, the Arteon will be more upmarket.[2][3] The Arteon was unveiled on 6 March 2017, at the Geneva Motor Show[4] and at the Chicago Auto Show for the North American market.[5]

Drive train

The Arteon has an eight speed automatic transmission, turbocharged 2.0 litre engine that will produce 268 horsepower and 258 lb. ft of torque.[6]

Interior

The Arteon will be equipped with a new digital cockpit, which replaces the main instrument panel with a configurable display, on SEL and Executive trims.[7]

Safety

The system is called Emergency Assist 2.0, and it takes advantage of four existing Volkswagen safety programs: Adaptive Cruise Control, Side Assist, Lane Assist and Park Assist. The Arteon will notice if a driver has not touched the gas, brakes or steering wheel for a certain length of time, and it will attempt to alert the person with sounds, visual cues and even a physical brake tap.

If that does not work, Emergency Assist 2.0 takes over: the car's hazard lights switch on and it steers itself to a safe nearside lane. The system uses Lane Assist to recognize lines on the road and Park Assist to actually steer the car. Radar detection via Adaptive Cruise Control and Side Assist helps ensure the Arteon will not hit any other vehicles.[8]
