Overview

The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon makes for an excellent contender in the midsize sedan segment. With three trims on offer, the 2019 Volkswagen Arteon retails for an MSRP of $35,845 competing directly with the Audi A5 Sportback, the Kia Stinger, and the Infiniti Q50. Only a 2.0L turbocharged Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to an 8-Speed Automatic transmission. Together, they produce 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 6.4 seconds, the Volkswagen Arteon maintains a combined fuel economy of 23 MPG. Volkswagen offers the Arteon in 8 stunning colors, with the Atlantic Blue Metallic being a particular favorite of ours.
