2020 Volkswagen Arteon | Better Than An Audi A5 or A7?

[@ACCELER8TV]

Quick Disclaimer: This channel used to be an Audi specific channel (Audi Sport Mike) before our name change hence the reason for all the Audi talk.

[@irmenkop85]

Well, understood. Nevertheless a lot of what you think is Audi, is actually just Volkswagen. There is hardly any audi parts int his car, except for maybe some A3 similarities. You will probably surprised, but there are no commonalities to an A5 or an A7. Completely different plattform, completely set of parts and suppliers. The only thing that's identical is maybe the foldable hinges in the headliner.

Many of the features that you claim come from an Audi have been utilized by VW for many years, and are carried over from the CC. Volkswagen makes Audi, not the other way around.

Volkswagen do not make Audi. They just own it. As Seat, Skoda, MAN Trucks, Scania .... and so on!

Lol. That’s just like saying VW makes Porsche, Bugatti, and Lamborghini. LOL. Casual fan.

[@isaacstacoify]

@@ONI1013. VW builds engines for Porsche and even Lamborghini. They even share a lot of components and platforms. I think your the casual.

[@ONI1013.]

@@isaacstacoify - Your Oversimplification is WRONG Casual. Lamborghini and Audi are both subsidiaries of the Volkswagen Group. Doesn't mean VW manufactured the engines. Yes, you can be certain that there may be parts are going to be shared between divisions of the company when it makes sense to do so. BUT there isn’t really that much in common between a Volkswagen Jetta and a Lamborghini so I would say that very little is shared between them. And yes, it’s also true that the cars can share a lot of common parts especially for the interior switch-gear. However, when it comes down to it. the engine in a car like the Lamborghini Aventador is going to be designed and made by Lamborghini for Lamborghini. They may borrow technology that Audi has developed but its going to be their own engine. For example, the v10 Gallardo/Huracan engine is primarily made by Audi and is shared with the S8. But the v12 Murcealago/Aventador engine however is primarily made by Lamborghini and only used by them.

I leased a 2020 Arteon in 2020, ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. Had to give it up when I went overseas, 😩. I tried get over it, but my heart would not be appeased. I must regain her again!! So I sought a replacement high and low, and found something my heart would accept. 2018 A5 😆. Having had experienced both now, I know the pros and cons of both cars. Each had their own charm and unique distinctions, and I still miss the Arteon but I'm very content with my A5 now. I come back now like checking up on a old girlfriend, but I got wifey now.

[@artofdan1840]

[@vennyroxz]

what deal did you get it for? please tell. I am considering it if I could get a good deal on it

[@pitbullmukhtar]

Car and Driver has the VW Arteon at 64 decibels at a cruising 70mph test, which is equivalent to the new Audi A8L, Audi A7, and Mercedes S550 (66 decibels). Surprising, but as an Arteon and Audi owner, I can totally see it being true. It's way quiter than most cars I have driven. Just as quiet as my 2014 A7. The 2.0T is super quick once you are moving at least 45-55. Eliminates low gear confusion, or possible lag, that the supercharger doesn't have off the line. Can't really notice the highway power difference, in all honesty. Floor them both, and you are already in triple digits, with both pushing you in the seat very nicely. Feels really similar to me. Usually I can notice the difference right away in power, but here, both are great.

[@igorpietak937]

Finally someone noticed that Arteon has the same distance to A5 as to A7! European reviewers compare it only to A5 and BMW 4 series which both are significantly smaller and less practical. Good job!

[@チャーリーブラウン-w8l]

I had the opportunity to take this car for a weekend drive. It's honestly a really good pick up, specially now with all the deals they have. It meets all the basis that a car that size should have. Proper Hp, proper Torque, AWD, spacious, and classy looking.

Most thorough Arteon review on KZbin...good job!

[@bunjoi]

I've wanted the CC when it first came out but was never in my price range. And the Arteon was never marketed. I only knew about this car through the KZbin algorithms. And it led me to your channel. After watching your channel I was sold on it. And I bought this exact one right at Dalmar. I talked to the manager and said if I watched Acceler8. Told him I did and I didn't realize the low volume of sales but I just purchased on of your cars that you reviewed. I had it for almost a year now. Great car but not perfect. Close proximity sensor in the winter gave a lot of false warning, especially in heavy snow. Overall though I'm quite satisfied. Keep up the good work, love the edits and your new videos has awesome intros.

[@fakeriwnl]

I fell in love with the arteon as soon as the first images circled around the internet. Imo it sits right next to the phaeton as the most beautiful VW ever made. Im actually a sailsman at VW and I just bought a 2022 Arteon as my first "own" car, because up till now I always drove our dealerships cars so I never really needed one, but because VW stopped producing the Arteon as a limo I figured this will be my last chance to ever own one myself. Perfect fit for me, golfbags fit into the trunk with ease, car drives really comfortable, fits the image of a salesman. Absolutely in love with the updated ergocomfort seats the took straight from the touareg, the massaging feature is now lightyears better than in the pre-facelift

[@robertmarin5854]

[@lupuirimie1704]

It is a well known policy in Europe of the VAG Group to use common platforms for their brands. Cost management. VW in EU is a car for the middle class. Audi...well, here is another story. They start with the middle class and work his way up. A6, A8, R8...from 2 to 2,5 and 3L as up to V10 4,5 and5L engines.

[@johnmoser2689]

I was just meaning VW saved Audi then redesigned all models to incorporate a more modern and viable bunch of vehicles using some of the old and phased into two lines of vehicles Audi for upscale and VW the bread and butter selling tons to common folks.... its amazing all they have accomplished since then

[@Todd.T]

Many parts appear on an Audi first. Then elements appear in Lamborghini and Bentley soon after. Years later, Volkswagen's get the pats. In the Audi, RS gets the toys and about 2 years later the S can order the options and about 2 years later the base model Audi gets a taste. On a different note, most of the people that care about "Dieselgate" don't even own an Audi a don't plan on it. The car performed the same emissions scam or not. I wish I owned one of the cars, so I could keep the car and get a fat cheque.

[@normwetherbee3403]

I bought one of these last November and still only have 2200 miles on it. I had a 2007 Passat for twelve years that was the best car I ever owned. I liked the idea of a 6 year bumper to bumper warranty and a friend wanted to buy my Passat so I went for it. Overall pretty much everything he says about the car is correct. The chintzy clock in the middle of the dash and the crappy programming of the transmission around town are about my only complaints. This motor really needs a DSG trans pairing.The digital dashboard is kind of gimmicky as I would rather have relevant gauges but it looks cool. The Dynaudio sound system isn't very good but I don't know how the base one sounds like so I'm not taking points off it for that. It does sound better than the "upgraded" Alpine system in my Wrangler but that's not a very high bar. I got 29 MPG the only time I've taken a highway trip with it (700 mile roundtrip) and it does require Premium fuel. You can fit an absolute ton of crap (think big Costco run or 4 golf bags) in the rear without lowering the back seats. The Start/Stop system is defeatable with a switch but it must be pressed after every time the car is started. These cars sat in port for months while awaiting approval to sell at dealers so pretty much all the horizontal surfaces had some king of mung embedded in the paint. After paint correction and a ceramic coating it's pretty much perfect. I have yet to see another one of these on the road. The dealer knock almost 5K off MSRP after some back and forth so ignore the (too high) sticker on these. The dealer closest to me is fantastic to deal with so that was a large part of the decision also. I cross shopped this with the Buick Regal TourX but GM's start/stop system isn't defeatable and the seats were garbage compared to the seats in the VW.

Ive had a VW CC for about 8 years now. I absolutely have loved it, so much so that i think im just going to upgrade to its new version (the arteon) Great style and quality for the price

From all the VW’s I’ve had since ‘05. My favorite is the 1.8t with 6spd tiptronic.

[@reallifevibes4774]

Good car. I love it.

Coming from a 2016 Subaru wrx and this car has my attention. That grill is really nice, wonder how the reliability is.

"We in USA are used to 300+ hp" and then Prius drives by 🤣 c mon man, we are used to V8's barely packing 300-350hp gas guzzlers, I'm European I drive VW I was so much against it in the USA due to maintenance cost, 3 yrs later couldn't be more happier and just a quick FYI that Arteon chip tuning will bring it north from 300+hp ,bigger downpipe and intercooler you are looking at the 350-60+hp from a 2L you can cruise at 80mph and still average 34mpg and have a power at the same time "Voilá" 🤗 Biggest thing I would say VW has to work on is better breaks and make cabin more quiet everything else is "par exallancė" Cheers 🤗

Thanks for tanking the time to comment! Improving quietness for sure!

[@nickjones3820]

Thanks for letting us know this wasn’t to sure about getting this Bc Ik I want the new ac type s but that’s prolly gonna be like 50k+ and this is a lot cheaper and still really nice

And then you void your warranty by tuning and modding.

PREACH! louder for the haters in the back.

Excellent review! I'm in the market for this particular car and I'm waiting for COVID-19 to decimate the car industry and maybe pick this one up in the summer at a low, low price. It's true, VW has done a piss poor job advertising the Arteon, of which they did a much better job when the CC first came around.

Not a GTI steering wheel. GTI/GLI steering wheels are sportier. Unfortunately it seems like the arteon has the Jetta- R line wheel.. which is just a standard wheel with an R badge..

Good review beautiful car. This is going to be my next car!

I almost bought this car. Ended up buying the bmw 530i touring. But this car is probably the best looking sedan out there...

[@ACCELER8TV]

Congrats!

[@FABM27]

ACCELER8 The Arteon was 2018 driven 44000 km and about 20% cheaper than the 530i touring which had done 8000 kms. Happy with the bimmer but would have been fine with the Arteon too. I love the sportsbacks. My last car was the skoda octavia vrs from 2014. The Arteon was specced to the hilt incuding 4WD, rear camera, automatic parking etc which I don’t have on the bimmer.

You have to put the traction control to esc sport then it will not cut the power

i just came to say to that human who wrote that arteon can be better than audi a5+.... transverse engine car (Arteon) can be better than longitudinal? in which universe ?! ..... have u ever heard about weight distribution? looks like not

The center cup spot in the rear arm rest is for the Redbull small can. Redbull has a big influence in Europe.

[@ACCELER8TV]

Ahhhh good to know!

[@RedsGarageOfBlue]

ACCELER8 🤙 My 2013 Mk6 has it in the front cup holder area. Trying to build my channel, would you mind subscribing please??

[@nessuno5403]

😂 Red Bull would have zero influence on automotive cupholders.

[@RedsGarageOfBlue]

@@nessuno5403 I worked for Volkswagen, that is correct information that was passed down at the plant to me. Engineers and designers get their inspiration from things that are happening in the world, just like anybody else. Just because you don’t know something doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

[@nessuno5403]

@@RedsGarageOfBlue 😂 come back when you design and engineer something yourself, rather than rely on hearsay. Those smaller diameters are present in cars made outside of Europe and where Red Bull isn't even available. NICE TRY! I will wait to hear what other secrets the VW toilet cleaners will share with us because... you know... since they work at the factory, they hear all product planning truths like you do 😉

[@timfell7835]

Enjoyed the review! Interesting perspective on the paddle shifter option. Love it in my GTI, but I can see how maybe for this more luxurious car it may be kind of pointless. Nice to have that option though :)

I've got the 2020 model, RLine 270HP Quattro ( yeap. It is the one from A6 Allroad). Is a family car, the price was ok( 38k €) and from my point of view it is quite nice. Just before the pandemic went to Germany and push the car at his limit. 250km/h.

[@alexni1124]

great video, like it a lot. I stayed in London for 5 years and left in 2019, I knew it is in London as soon as I saw the Dalmar logo, right next to Audi LOL. Hope everything's great there. stay safe mate!
