Volkswagen Arteon 2017 review - pictures

The top-of-the-line engine can power the Arteon from a stands till to 62mph in 9.1 seconds.

The range-topping engine is a 276bhp TSI petrol unit.

On the inside you will fid a package which surpasses the Passat for gadgets and gizmos.

While the sloping roofline makes for a sporty look it inevitably reduces rear headroom. 

Standard equipment on the Arteon includes: leather seats, GPS-aided cruise control, LED self-levelling headlights, three-zone climate control, and VW's Active Info Display. The R-Line adds 19-inch wheels and more dynamic styling.

Thanks to the link wheelbase, there is lots of legroom from passengers.

If you get the chance to legally plant your foot to the floor and leave it there, the Arteon will climb all the way up to 155mph flat out.
