The next generation of new Volkswagen cars near Parkville, MD is on its way, and the Volkswagen Arteon is in the vanguard. Purposely combining the words “art” and “eon”, this futuristic sedan represents a new era of Volkswagen styling and innovation, firmly establishing the brand as one of the auto industry’s foremost forward-thinkers. In fact, the “eon” suffix will be incorporated into all future high-end Volkswagen models.
One of the first things a viewer will notice about the Volkswagen Arteon is its “fastback” design, a kind of “back to the future” homage to classic VW fastback vehicles like the Volkswagen Beetle and the underrated Volkswagen Type 3 Fastback sedan. As an automobile design that simultaneously maximizes style and aerodynamics, there may be nothing more effective than the fastback approach, whose other big benefit is the ability to integrate a true hatchback trunk into the vehicle.
When it joins the ranks of world-renowned VW cars like the Volkswagen Passat and the 2017 Volkswagen Jetta near Baltimore, MD, the four-door Volkswagen Arteon will be positioned as a flagship model, an avant-garde sedan combining a hatchback’s versatility with the space, features, and next-gen technology of much more expensive luxury vehicles.
On the outside, the Volkswagen Arteon delivers max curb appeal thanks to LED headlamps, daytime running lights, and an integrated grille, all three of which are “connected” via some very stylish chrome trim. Inside, this sedan’s hatchback trunk offers an enormous 55 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down. Also, prepare to be wowed by the 12.1-inch Volkswagen Digital Cockpit display, a high-tech convenience that’s also a staple on upcoming models like the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan and 2018 Volkswagen Atlas.
We’ll be back soon with an estimated U.S. release date!
