The facelifted Volkswagen Arteon combines sleek styling with a choice of liftback and estate bodies. Your driving routine matters when choosing between its conventional engines and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
Volkswagen Arteon engine choices include a gasoline 2.0 DSG Liftback with front-wheel drive and a diesel 2.0 DSG estate with all-wheel drive. Both examples use a dual-clutch automatic transmission. The front-wheel-drive 1.4 DSG plug-in hybrid Liftback adds electric assistance, making regular charging part of getting the most from this powertrain.

The 1.4 DSG plug-in hybrid Liftback and Estate 5-door both use a lithium-ion battery. Volkswagen Arteon battery capacity helps determine electric range, while temperature, speed and heating use affect how far each charge takes you. Charging regularly lets you cover more everyday journeys electrically, with the gasoline engine available for longer trips.
