Volkswagen Arteon
Introduced in 2019, the Arteon large sedan boasts a seductive design, further enhanced by the versatility of its hatchback configuration. Under the hood, we find a turbocharged four-cylinder engine that sends its 268 horsepower to the ground via the 4MOTION all-wheel drivetrain. One trim level is available in Canada, which includes leather upholstery, a massaging driver’s seat, an infotainment system with eight-inch touchscreen and a 700-watt Dynaudio sound system.
