We found ourselves spending more often than not with the suspension in its most comfy setting, however the steering in its sportiest. There’s a very good amount of security kit as normal on the Arteon. As well as your ordinary assortment of airbags and City Emergency Braking, you additionally get things like Lane Assist, fatigue detection and adaptive cruise management to keep a safe distance from the automotive forward. On the subject of strapping in the little ones, there are a pair of Isofix points within the back.
