The countdown has started: The new Arteon1 celebrates its world premiere at the Geneva International Motor Show

Volkswagen is enhancing its model line-up with an avant-garde gran turismo: the new Arteon. The fastback model, positioned above the Passat, will be presented to the public for the first time at the Geneva International Motor Show (9 to 19 March).

Combining avant-garde design with a high level of versatility was the key objective for designers and developers of the Arteon. This resulted in an interior architecture which is exceptionally generously spacious - with ample head and leg room at all seats - which is extraordinary for this body form. Key design elements of the charismatic Arteon include its completely new front end, in which the LED headlights and daytime running lights merge with the chrome-plated crossbars of the radiator grille and the bonnet. The car's remarkable shoulder section is another defining feature of its design.

Other equipment features making their debut in the Arteon include the latest generation of driver assistance systems. Interesting features have been added that are typically reserved for luxury automobiles. This unique combination makes the Arteon one of the most attractive products in its segment.
