2019 Volkswagen Arteon consumer reviews

I've had my 2019 Arteon for seven years now and have enjoyed it all the way. No problems, no repairs, just regular oil changes. It's a pleasure to drive on long trips, no worries if the weather turns bad. This car is awesome in snow! The hatchback is very convenient, plenty of storage. And there's plenty of room for passengers in the back seat. I do a lot of airport pickups and dropoffs, this car has a lot of space inside.

I have owned many cars, but have NEVER received the compliments like I do on this vehicle. I have a 2019 VW Arteon SEL Premium R-Line 4 Motion. It now has 82,000 and I bought it with under 30,000 3 years ago. I love this car. I perform all scheduled maintenance, but otherwise have not spent a dime in the repair shop. Prior to the end of the manufacturer warranty, I purchased the extended warranty to 150k miles or 10 years. The vehicle has the most spacious back seat of any car out there, with a 6-3 person able to fit without knees touching with front seat set normally. One thing I have not seen mentioned is, that with all of the other amazing features, the car will perfectly parallel park itself and will let you know if a spot is big enough. I just learned about this myself in last month. I played with it and it works perfectly. All you do is shift and give a little gas, but it does all steering. I have taken several trips of hundreds of miles each. In this car, they are very comfortable and easy. The seat massage is sufficient and the ventilated seats work great. Mileage, performance, ride quality, and comfort are amazing. Recently, I had a new BMW X5 as a rental. I couldn’t wait to get back to my Arteon. Any Arteon owner will agree how magnificently they steer and drive. I love everything about this best kept secret in the auto business. I plan to keep this car till the wheels fall off. A first for me. I highly recommend this car. Thank you VW for making such an amazing vehicle. Oh, by the way, the Arteon was made in Germany and is of impeccable build quality, as we all expect from the Germans.

I've owned 2019 SEL for 2 years and love it. It is comfortable, sporty, and has plenty of power. I get 32mpg on highway, at speeds averaging 80mph. I only have 14k miles on it so far, but I've never had an issue with anything in this car. I really love the sportback hatchback, since I put my road bike in without removing the tire.

biggest piece of xxxx VW ever made!!!!!! Stay away from any Vw ther are complete junk from the word go! The warranty sucks and VW sucks!!!

Why do I need 3 clocks and 2 outside air temperature indicators but cannot fit the owner's manual in the glove box. Assist warnings go off uncontrollably and it warns of the outside air temperature at 39 degrees with a bell. Why? It is still 20% warmer than freezing at 39 degrees! Consumable parts such as tires, brakes, etc are not on hand and take 1.5 to 2 days to get. The anti collision warning system goes to inoperative during rain/snow messy driving because the sensor is placed in a position where it attracts the most road dirt.

my wife extended her lease of her acura RLX for an extra year awaiting the new TLX... we finally saw one with two weeks left on her extended lease... let's see.. how do i describe the new TLX...how about blah... the VW dealer is about a mile away when we saw the arteon sitting in the used car area... a certified 2019 SEL R-line... with 2,600 miles on it... owned by one of the managers of the audi dealership next door we were told. living in SW florida, i never would have thought about buying a black car, with black interior, black windows and black wheels... it is nothing short of mean looking... gangsta looking... very impressive. gets tons of looks and questions. since it was certified, we got a 7 year, 84k mile warranty.. when i called the insurance agent.. i told her it was an arteon.. she said "a what"...i have not seen more than just a few on the road.. it is unique.. rides nicely.. goes fast.. good gas mileage.. love all the room under the back hatch.. my only issue is that it does not have an electronic closing button.. even my tiguan has one of those... overall... very happy.

I have now owned by Arteon for one full year. I opted for the SEL Premium R line with 4-motion. I love this car! This car brings back what has been missing from VW sedans for the last few decades as they have become Americanized. I am Constantly asked “what kind of car is that?” and this is the same question that I used to get with my 1996 Passat. My only complaint... the bit of turbo lag. This is normal and totally expected and even though it’s smooth, it’s not as smooth as the V6 is my last Passat. The Arteon brings elements that you will not find anywhere else. The interior is very VW. I hope the Arteon will be around for a while. I was holding out for a new generation of the ill fated Phaeton but think the Arteon is probably that replacement sedan. So be it. Drive in Sport mode and you will be happy. I am quite surprised by the negative expert reviews-really surprised. Most are selling for well below MSRP which makes a great value! I went to look at the 2021 model and it looks spectacular. Go test drive one. You’ll love the storage and back seat spaces.

I traded the Atlas for this car after seeing it on the lot while in for service. I was not looking for a new ride, but this car is the epitome of German styling. I have received many compliments from strangers about the Arteon. The interior feels very luxurious and all of the controls are simplistic to use. The power was good for around town and on the interstate. The only complaints I have is tire noise (which isn't terrible). I believe with the SUV craze in the US, this car will not be a top seller and will fade away like the CC. This will be a shame.

In the first 48 hours of owning the 2019 Arteon, I've received more positive compliments than I ever have in owning any vehicle. It's flat out a good looking car. The fact that it's such a low volume seller only adds to the attention it gets. The downside is mechanical. Most buyers will yearn for 25-30 more horsepower and a snappier transmission. But if you don't push the chassis and expect to drag race from light to light, you will be rewarded with a plush and comfortable ride. Interior is typical VW with good quality. Despite the popular consumer buying guides, the best value is the SEL Premium trim. This is largely due to the electronic aids and comforts that only that trim level has such as 360 camera view, front and rear park sensors, heated steering wheel, rear seating climate control, ventilated front seats among others.

My 2019 Arteon SE w/ four motion is a joy to drive. It has power. It is spacious. The front seats can be adjusted for any shape and size. I like to sit high to maximize visual field over the front hood. The visual field through the rear window is more than adequate. Yes, the trunk space is expansive. Sparing on console knobs and dials, pleasingly so. Its exterior design is very stylish, to the point of people complimenting it. My mileage is closer to 32 hwy and 23 city.
