How VW were bashing TESLA years ago. VW Arteon Review (2017 - 2021) Model.

Volkswagen's luxury flagship saloon gets the Howard Ritchie treatment. We test the real-world capabilities of the cruise control and see if the Arteon is a viable cruiser for personal or business leases.
Model shown here is the Arteon 2.0 TSI with 190hp and DSG auto gear box.

Howard is one of the besy reviewers on KZbin right now👏🏾👏🏾

[@ArtcoPhotography]

Mate you smashed it. Fanatsic review. Best I've seen so far.

[@imty8774]

Your videos are so good. The quality is just impeccable.

[@rvankline6908]

Brilliant details absent of needless scrutiny. To the point. I just purchased the Premium R with all the packaged options and the 20s and it's being prepped at the dealer prior to pickup. I test drove one with 19in threads and am ready to asseess the impending road-noise issue; but, the GLI with hi-indexes I had just 2 days ago rendered me with some immunity; so I likely will not mistake any bumps for bruises. Now that I (almost) have it, I feel like putting it under a tarp to preserve it. 'Stuck in the middle with you' comes into play, and I can't wipe this smile from my face with anticipation. Thank you for wonderful review.

[@awaqar2]

First review that speaks positively about this beauty. A lot of reviewers are too badge-budget. This seems like an unbiased review.

[@t.s.1514]

excellent review, mate! But you were slightly wrong about German roads: there are thousands of miles of German roads which are in absolutely terrible condition with pothole after pothole, huge bumps and so on. And not only the roads but also a lot of bridges as well, though. Well... welcome to the 21st century, lol

[@Senfius]

That high quality and so few Views You deserve more

[@h.mutawa866]

Wow absolutely nice review , Music choice , commentating ... Stunning

[@Kim-qc8id]

"The roads in Germany are beautiful." :D It has been like that ten years ago or so. Not nowadays. Hello from Germany.

[@cartmann227]

To be honest in comparison to other countries the streets are quite good in Germany

[@cathal2106]

Indeed @cartmann227 , a blind man could tell when he crosses the border between Germany and Belgium... ;-)

[@arhimedeparalelipiped4875]

Underestimated, just like the Volkswagen CC.

[@johnmorgan8152]

Great review. I've a diesel Arteon on order and wasn't sure how a lot of the technology worked. It's explained better on this video than VW did on theirs.

[@Horizon301.]

John Morgan what’s the waiting time like?

[@johnmorgan8152]

Chatta290 It took about 10 weeks from orderto delivery

[@Horizon301.]

John Morgan wow it’s like 26 weeks now, I would love to have one but I’m not allowed

[@johnmorgan8152]

Chatta290 Wow. Very happy with it so far. Only 1500 km on it but not many of them around so surprised it's taking so long.

[@Horizon301.]

John Morgan yeah very exclusive, it’s due to the WLTP regulations so factory’s are shut and engine production won’t restart until October so if lucky you could get one at the end of October or potentially have to wait until February if a dealer can’t get any early build slots. VW are having major issues across all brands as they can’t test the cars in time so have to stop production. My parents said that a bigger car than a golf would be too hard for me to drive but I beg to differ and from just manoeuvring their 7 series on our tight driveway I do feel as if saloons are easier to park more somewhat than the golf as I actually can tell where the bonnet and rear bumper ends but you know as I’m a new driver and would need financial help I will stick to the golf, the 1.5 TSI is the same for insurance though as a 1.6TDI golf GT so that’s one of the good things considering the car costs 10k more. This car is very impressive though from the looks of things and yes it’s similar to the golf and what we already have with thr sat nav but the technology is further improved along with the looks which make the car far more aesthetically pleasing than the 4 series for example and dare I say it the A5 which is poorly equipped plus I would love an auto.

[@allanbollins4918]

i have the Arteon hear in Australia just bought it R spec 206kw all wheel drive & love it can't fault it so far all the tech is great the car basically drivers itself

[@isaak4416]

This is the comment I was waiting on! Thinking of getting one myself and would love to hear what other aussie arteon owners think about it. Cheers mate!

[@allanbollins4918]

do it mate but shop around i saved a heap

[@Tallandcharming]

Allan Bollins I’m about to buy the same one. Demo model, 5,000ks, so far $56,000 drive away. Good price or can I get it lower? (This one is in white with 20” wheels, sound pack and sunroof).

[@allanbollins4918]

i paid not to much more for white all options & 54 klms i think you can do better

[@Tallandcharming]

Allan Bollins I went to five different dealers, none of them could come close, all had the option of taking my business but all said it was an unbelievable deal. Car listed for $59k, I actually just picked it up an hour ago, paid $55,800 - has the sunroof as well as the wheels and sound pack plus got an additional one year full manufacturers warranty for free.

[@ighdaniel]

Great review, different in tone and style than other reviews out there. One piece of advice, when you try to open the trunk with your foot, the car needs to be locked. (I know, I own an arteon). Would have loved to see the auto parking being tested out and I recommend getting the 4motion it's a huge difference. Best of luck.

[@allanbollins4918]

agreed the 4 motions is perfect i also have an Arteon

[@Horizon301.]

Allan Bollins on a lease is it needed? I think not unless it snows often, even on a BMW it’s pointless as the dealer will even tell you

[@awaqar2]

What does 4 motion do

[@Tallandcharming]

Yup discovered that with mine too ;)

[@MultiTopgearfan]

How does this channel only have 7.7k subscribers? Come on, people!

[@germie7666]

Love your review of this car. Would love to see a comparison of this and the Skoda Superb Sportline.

[@Cubemusic]

That would be really interesting. Also the Kia Stinger.

[@Tersagio]

Absolutely compelling review, please keep up the good work!

[@UnwantedParadise]

This is really well shot, great video

[@maschenstrom6178]

arteon is just better than any other car.. i was a huge mercedes fan but after my first meet and greet with the arteon. even an AMG can piss off. Audi S3? Audi RS3? Audi S4? why? the arteon also has 300hp. and the R-Line just looks awesome.

[@artissvilpa4490]

Best rewiew I seen,

[@jimdee9801]

Collecting a 2018 r line this week. Great review - I wasnt sure i had made the right choice but this has reassured me. Wondering if any reliability issues with the techs at this age?

[@anamperodua]

Best review from this guy.

[@leasingdotcom]

Wha are your thoughts on the VW Arteon? Is it the best saloon made by the manufacturer? Let us know in the comments!

[@TerryLestrange]

Amazing review. Your the best! Besides the Arteon ofcourse :)

[@joefattal7592]

Great reviews, always enjoy them.

[@andrewwild9815]

Many thanks for the review, super job.

Subscribed! Great review!

[@vr710]

ARTEON IS THE REAL DEAL. RIDE ON.....

[@leonadior8640]

Excellent review! Thank you !

[@brooklynroad8581]

i want one. makes my CC look poor. will wait until there on the 2nd hand market. my CC was a hire car, so there is hope i will get one

[@anthonybailey7913]

I was all in on the "transparency" of this review until you bragged about 41mpg and then proceeded to include a shot of the average MPG at 7:28 returning 26.4mpg... But either way, this is probably my next car!

[@leasingdotcom]

Thanks for the comment Anthony - the MPG quoted is what Howard sees on real world driving during his time with the car and is true. The shots in the film, represent what happens on the day of filming only. i.e. the car may be static, driving differently and so on. Hope that helps? Do let us know how you get on too with yours :)

[@user-ys4hu1ks3p]

Best review ever.

[@fungusfoong9080]

Tesla beating ?? How ?

[@eulenginethrottle8562]

[@jamieemeagi7377]

Nice review thanks 🤣🤣

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

Please, please, please let Howard go to Top Gear CH&L.com. He's a fantastic review of cars and the current TG team* are s...! * This does not include Chris Harris.

[@sahdanmamat3132]

👍👍👍

[@pfdo1807]

1.5 liter, 2.0 liter, 563 liter and then, 41 miles to the gallon wtf, make a choice!

[@dstev55]

What are you on about? 1.5 litre was another engine option, 2.0 litre was the engine in the car he was reviewing. 563 litres is the capacity of the boot and 41 mpg is the fuel consumption. Not sure where the confusion lies, these are the units we use to measure such things here in the UK (where the review is made).

[@nicke.1904]

41mpg... your dash displayed 25 throughout most of the video? Great vid otherwise, will subscribe

[@galsteinberg8010]

whats the price? (not for runting... for buying)

[@Horizon301.]

GAL STEINBERG around £34,000+ or £220 a month

[@jonathangreenwood8157]

Great review
