Also for the first time as a shooting brake – the new Arteon will be launched in 2020 with a plug-in hybrid and as an independent R model
The Arteon is the Gran Turismo from Volkswagen – avant-garde model and all-rounder, energetic and efficient. Volkswagen is now expanding the range of the series in a world premiere with a second version: the new Arteon Shooting Brake – a sporty, progressive five-door model. A design statement. The new model will be launched throughout Europe in the second half of the year.
In parallel to the debut of the Arteon Shooting Brake, Volkswagen is presenting a far-reaching update to the series. All new developments are used in both body versions. For the first time in the Arteon, this includes a 160 kW (218 hp) plug-in hybrid drive. As a Fastback version and Shooting Brake, both Arteon are among the first models of their kind to be available in the upper middle class with a plug-in hybrid drive.
The new models can be recognized from the front by their sharpened front section. Inside, the series received a newly designed, exclusive cockpit landscape that was tailored to the charisma and exclusivity of the Arteon.
A total of three turbo petrol (TSI), two turbodiesel (TDI) and, as outlined, a plug-in hybrid drive (eHybrid) will be available for the Arteon and Arteon Shooting Brake. The TSI deliver 110 kW (150 PS) and 140 kW (190 PS) and 235 kW (320 PS) in the case of the R-TSI. A TSI is also used in the eHybrid; it develops 115 kW (156 hp) and is supplemented by an 85 kW (115 hp) electric motor. The TDI will be available with 110 kW (150 PS) and 147 kW (200 PS). All engines combine high efficiency, low emissions and powerful torque. Thanks to the innovative range of drive types, the new Arteon and Arteon Shooting Brake meet extremely many mobility requirements.
In addition to the drives, the range of technical innovations also includes other IQ.DRIVE assistance systems. New in this series: the “Travel Assist”. The system enables semi-automated driving over the speed range from 0 km / h to 210 km / h.
