2023 Volkswagen Arteon Trim Breakdown

SE R-Line

Every Arteon trim is powered by a 300-horsepower turbocharged engine that gets 295 pound-feet of torque. The car also comes with all-wheel drive and a sporty seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. You’ll find the latest tech throughout the lineup, starting with Digital Cockpit Pro. It pairs an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen with a 10-inch digital gauge cluster. This trim also boasts wireless smartphone connectivity, wireless charging, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and navigation. VW has equipped the base model of the Arteon with a full range of driver assistance features, including smart windshield wipers, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, and a rearview camera. The cabin offers luxe touches like a heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel, synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats, power auto-dimming rearview mirrors, and three-zone automatic climate control.

When you jump to the middle Arteon trim, you’ll enjoy upgrades like real leather upholstery, a power sliding and tilting panoramic sunroof, power-folding heated side mirrors, and a remote start system. This trim also has adjustable ambient lighting to set to 30 different colorful hues. On the safety front, this vehicle version adds adaptive headlights with automatic high beams. It features 20-inch alloy wheels with all-season tires, an upgrade from the 18-inch wheels on the base model. It also adds an upgraded 4MOTION AWD system with Active Control and the ability to select your driving mode between Comfort, Sport, and Normal or let the system automatically adapt to your driving over time.

VW has pulled out all the stops for the range-topping Arteon trim. In addition to all the equipment in the first two trims, it’s outfitted with climate-controlled front seats, heated rear seats, and a massaging driver’s seat.
