2023 Volkswagen Arteon Certified Premium Laredo, TX Dealership

Overview

The 2023 Volkswagen Arteon is a surprise in many ways. It’s a very nice all-around family sedan at a time when sedans are out of favor. It’s handsome both outside and inside in an Audi kind of way. It’s big, one of just five full-size mainstream sedans on the market. Its interior is comfortable and spacious with handsome lines, desirable standard features, and plenty of cargo room (it’s a hatchback). An available all-wheel drive configuration gives it an advantage over competitors like the Nissan Maxima, and the Arteon’s sleek styling gives it curb appeal the new Toyota Crown could only wish for. The pep of its turbocharged four-cylinder engine matches the Arteon’s overall demeanor and enables the big sedan to easily hold its own against V-6-powered rivals. While it is certainly costly—the Arteon is the priciest vehicle in its class—the expense seems justified given its attributes. Indeed, we rank it at the top of its small segment. Given how many automakers have purged sedans from their lineups, the Arteon may have a questionable future as VW continues to expand its SUV offerings. But for anyone looking for a big sedan oozing European-inspired style and packing a plethora of good qualities, now may be the time to visit your local VW dealer.

Design – 2023 Volkswagen Arteon Certified Premium in Laredo, TX

Like most midsize sedans, the Volkswagen Arteon features a roomy cabin with plenty of legroom all around. However, headroom is limited for taller folks and the rear outboard seats feel a bit over-bolstered. As you’d expect, the rakish roofline also reduces rear headroom. The Arteon’s low-slung stance can also pose a challenge when getting in and out, and it limits rear visibility.

Most of the primary controls are easy to use, and VW’s updated digital information screen is straightforward. The infotainment menus are a bit more cluttered and could be easier to navigate, but finding the primary controls you need isn’t a problem.

Technology – 2023 Volkswagen Arteon Certified Premium For Sale in Laredo, TX

The Arteon’s tech offerings include a digital gauge cluster (VW’s Digital Cockpit) and an 8-inch infotainment screen that is stylish and easy to read. It has a few neat tricks up its sleeve such as hiding lesser-used controls when your finger moves away from the screen. You also have the option to integrate the navigation map into the digital instrument panel. The system’s voice controls work well and can understand some natural speech requests. Integrating your smartphone to the touchscreen is easy by way of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

We like the smooth and nonintrusive operation of most of Arteon’s advanced driver aids. The only exception is the adaptive cruise control system, which can be slow to accelerate after the car ahead pulls away.

Safety & Driver Assistance – 2023 Volkswagen Arteon Certified Premium Dealers in Laredo, TX

The Arteon comes standard with a wide range of driver-assistance technology, including a road sign recognition system, adaptive cruise control, automatic high-beam headlights, automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and front and rear parking sensors. For more information about Arteon’s crash test results, visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) websites. 

Key safety features include:

• Standard blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert
• Available lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist
• Available adaptive cruise control

Performance – 2023 Volkswagen Arteon Certified Premium Dealership in Laredo, TX

The latest VW Arteon is pretty quick thanks to its 300-horsepower engine. Our test car accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 6.0 seconds, which is similar to sport-oriented sedans such as the Kia K5 GT. The seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission shifts quickly and unobtrusively.

The Arteon’s steering is nicely weighted and communicative. In the Comfort or Normal driving mode, there’s a noticeable body roll when driving around turns. Switching to Sport tightens up handling, and the Arteon’s all-wheel-drive system does a good job of helping the car accelerate out of turn. The Arteon is more planted and stable when pushed than most midsize competitors.
