The Volkswagen Arteon R-Line 4Motion has been updated in Malaysia with the IQ.Drive package, which gives the Arteon additional safety kit. It has a revised price tag as well, now costing you RM299,990, which is RM23k up from the previous RM276,990 price tag.
The IQ.Drive package contributes to giving the Arteon R-Line 4Motion the following safety features:
- Front Assist – a version of Autonomous Engine Braking (AEB), it will monitor the road ahead and provide audio and visual alerts to warn you if there’s a risk of a potential collision. If necessary, it will apply brakes on its own to help mitigate a collision.
- Adaptive Cruise Control – when cruise control is active, it uses a radar to adjust your speed according to the car in front, slowing down and speeding up if necessary.
- Side Assist – it will alert you if another vehicle is in your blind spot and will assist you with counter-steering to avoid a collision if necessary.
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert – while you are reversing your Arteon, this will warn the driver of incoming objects at an angle of 180 degrees and up to 50 meters away at speeds of up to 12 km/h.
Other than the IQ.Drive package, Volkswagen has also added a Qi wireless phone charger.
The Volkswagen Arteon is powered by a 280 PS, 350 Nm EA888 2.0 litre turbocharged engine, mated to a seven-speed wet clutch DSG transmission. Power is sent to all four wheels via the 4Motion system.
The RM299,990 price tag includes three years free maintenance in addition to the five-year unlimited mileage manufacturer warranty and roadside assistance.

Wow. Getting more and more expensive. If rm300k, I will definitely buy 330i with rm320k.
Depends. Both 3 Series and Arteon looks good.
This is bigger…5 series size…comparable to its bro in the VAG …the A7
It is still a VW. up up up the tow truck…
yea “IF”
(Like) Arteon
(Dislike) C Class
Nice
now thats a jaw dropping price tag right there. RM300k?!?! making this the most expensive VW model in Malaysia!
Because you can’t afford that’s why you comment here though
Wow, at lasts incl AEB, ex owners would regret to buy early without AEB
Finally. The perfect car. Except for the price though lol
Because of additional safety features
Acc is for cacat driver
just wait for the year end sales
This can tapau Mercedes
This overprice will make it rare at our roads…kudos VM
Because of additional safety features. Not about increasing prices for unknown reasons
Okay Mercedes fanboi
you jealous is it?
This car definitely beast
At last their start adding acc and other crucial safety system for their car starting with golf gti.. But still the price out of reach mu budget what an sad world
Better topup abit & Buy audi Q8 etron,
Sedan vs SUV…not good comparison
Sure sell like hotcakes
Value with money for all specs
Better comfort than C Class
Volkswagen Malaysia keeps digging themselves deeper and deeper in their own grave at this point
Waiting for jealousy mercedes fanbois to talk bad about Volkswagen
Finally, Volkswagen
Baik beli VW
Now can consider this
Don’t tell me the gomren taxes these safety features st 200% also.
VW already decide to discontinue Arteon.
Hands off this model, better get C class or BMW 330i
RM300k for a VW badge? LOL…. at best it is worth RM270k for the brand and features given.
Finally the full package of Arteon is being offered. Those who complain are definitely not afford one. Why compare to C class or 3 series when this Arteon interior space is similar to S class or 7 series.
Those who buy this Arteon will surely got BMW or Merc at home and they need another car for fun drive. Remember this is 4motion drive and surely more fun than rear-wheel drive. Yes BMW got AWD but the 340i is at RM 400k meanwhile interior space much smaller than Arteon.
Btw I doubt VW can sell more than 10 units of this Arteon a month. Anywhere D segment is dying.
Too little too late maybe? And on 300k price tag? Good luck selling the car.
Did you read earlier about VW announced that VW will be now compete with other brands
so much fancy marketing jargons for outdated everyday tech:
Front Assist – regular feature on basic cars
Adaptive Cruise Control – yawn
Side Assist – regular BSM
Rear Cross Traffic Alert – P2 calls this RTCA
marketing genius
Remember folks, whether you agree or disagree with comments here that the car is too pricey or affordable is irrelevant. Unless you and your friends are out to put the downpayment, your opinion is well… just an opinion. It’s those who are applying for loan that matter
You know VW just don’t care and possibly degrading their own brand to not even include a logo on their engine cover similar to how the many brands coming soon into our market.
At least VW done better than before
this car was launched at 220k last time …. VW brilliantly increase its price all the way up till RM300k. even taking into the account chips issue and inflation…..the price hike is still a bit ridiculous
This will eat another rival which is merz c
Got 300k buy C300 better…
Good buying Mercedes….will have QC issues, need to wait for some months to get parts then fixed then some months later, come back same problem. Better think bang
Lmao bro the current C-class is plagued with electronics and sensor issues. Baru keluar gua kah?
I love these additions, although to be fair, previous owners were able to retrofit AEB and ACC at outside workshop using original parts from Germany for less than 10k. So this 22k is just a disguised margin bump.
Still remember this model was launched with less than 250k without SST. Few price increment after that from 260k to just below 280k. Maybe related to currency issue. It still look like a bargain in its position with below 280k price tag. Perhaps 300k is how VPCM strategy to “response to its competitors” LOL
Lets see if their strategy works
