The sleek Volkswagen Arteon has finally landed in Malaysia. It’s locally-assembled in Pekan, Pahang, comes in a single R-Line trim, and is priced at RM221,065 (after SST exemption). Included in the price is a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty, three years free maintenance, and five years free roadside assistance.
The pre-facelift Arteon R-Line is powered by the Passat’s 2.0 litre TSI turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 190 PS from 4,180 to 6,000 rpm and 320 Nm of torque between 1,500 to 4,180 rpm. Drive is sent to the front wheels via a seven-speed DSG wet dual-clutch transmission. Shift paddles are standard.
In terms of equipment, it gets full LED headlights, LED tail lights with sequential indicators, integrated trapezoidal tailpipes, 19-inch Montevideo turbine-style two-tone alloy wheels, and a powered boot (opens hatch style) that opens up to reveal a 563-litre boot.
Also on are the 11.7-inch digital instrument display and the top 9.2-inch Discover Pro touchscreen with GPS navigation. The latter offers wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto connectivity, and this is hooked up to a 700-watt, 11-speaker Dynaudio sound system. A triple-zone climate control, 14-way power-adjustable front seats with driver’s side memory, and Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) adaptive dampers are included.
E class, 5 series, s40, a6 recond better that this ordinary germany car
For same money, better buy Toyota Harrier/RAV4
Ugly toyota
Nope
i agree..it looks ordinary in the inside since its the same as passat..not a luxury car..exterior is the only thing thats good. I dont think many people will buy this car..to be honest…people would rather buy 320i..i would
not as first car, but for a 2nd car choice i would pick this over 320i its the only option due to the size way bigger than the 3-series.
So your first car is axia right?
Grow up VW, not AEB and ACC
this car is not for me as it’s over 200k without safety features. might as well top up a bit get the BMW. better resale value and with safety features. also, at 190hp the performance is not far from my civic turbo.
Civic turbo is sellooowwwwww
rather buy BMW, Benz, Audi? Hello, those are real luxury premium brands. VW is the people’s car, it was never meant to go up against those brands. That’s why VW Group owns Audi. Arteon is intended to be a niche product for people who prefer to have some style over bland plain sedan shape like Passat, 320i, Camry.
