The Arteon comes as customary with Volkswagen’s Discover Navigation system, which has an eight-inch touchscreen display. On the plus facet, the VW comes with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so you may mirror the show of your smartphone and use its sat-nav, and it has a DAB digital radio. The upgraded Discovery Navigation Pro system is a £895 choice that offers you a larger 9.2-inch display with crisper graphics. Its glassy appearance does look nicer than the fundamental system, but it comes at the expense of standard system’s conventional knobs - the contact-delicate buttons that change them aren’t as simple to make use of when you’re driving. A three-12 months subscription to Volkswagen’s Car-Net is included, that means the sat-nav can use Google Earth’s fairly maps and route around congestion. That stated, the basic system can divert round visitors jams through smartphone mirroring, so actually you should solely select the optional sat-nav if you’re fully bought on its aesthetics. An enormous promoting level of the Arteon’s inside is that it comes with Volkswagen’s 12.3-inch Active Info display as commonplace. What isn’t so good is the car’s eight-speaker, 80W stereo that isn’t a patch on the sound system fitted as standard to an Audi A5 Sportback. If you’re a music fan then, the Dynaudio Confidence sound pack is a must - it has 11 speakers, a subwoofer and a 700W output, but is a expensive £1,010 option.
The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon’s exterior is wealthy with details that make it wider and extra muscular than it actually is and it is additional enhancing its sporty image. Actually, many design cues resemble the well known Passat. However, it has some distinctive design features to make it stand out. The very first thing is a clamshell hood identical to on a premium car. And there may be one small detail with the hood that we found attention-grabbing. It by some means hangs over the headlights and giving it a bit angrier face. And with that sort of luxurious and simply stunning exterior, you'd think that the interior will comply with. But that is not the case. It is true that the standard of the inside is fairly high but it surely looks virtually the same as on the Passat. It is made of better materials, nevertheless it is similar design. The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon interior does have some superior features like Active data Display (VW Digital Cockpit), Discover Pro infotainment system with a 9.2-inch display display screen and gesture controls, a head-up display and a reasonably good ambient lighting.
On the sensible aspect, that 9.2-inch glass display screen just isn't one thing you wish to handle during the precise driving. It is too huge for the gestures, and knobs could be more sensible. The 2019 Volkswagen Arteon will are available in Elegance and R-Line Tri levels with the base mannequin coming after them. The R-Line might be a more aggressive, with air intakes on the entrance facet, and sporty bumpers. The Interior will come with black roof strains, R-Line brand all through the inside (including seats and door plates), the sporty R-Line flat-bottomed steering wheel, and a special 20″ wheels and a lower trip peak for the European fashions.
